https://artreview.com/james-bridle-schelling-architecture-award-the-denial-of-genocide-is-on-the-march-everywhere/
Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:
> very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’ | de Volkskrant

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1
Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.
