There are not many colors that have a name attached to them. Baker-Miller-Pink is one of the few (the only other one I can think of is International Klein Blue, but here will be more). This is the story about Baker-Miller-Pink, why jails were painted pink, and the effects of this color on people’s psyche.

The Birth of Disarming Pink

In 1979 Schauss wrote about a finding, and he reports on the possibility of color to reduce potential and actual aggression. (Schauss, 1979) The original recipe to produce Baker-Miller pink is mixing half a liter of silk gloss red with four liters of pure white…

First, a disclaimer, this article is written with the utmost respect to the suffering of especially the Jews in World War 2. This remains one of the darkest pages in modern history, and the suffering that has been caused in this war is beyond comprehension. This suffering was not only experienced by Jews, but by gypsies, gays, mental diseased, civilians, soldiers etc. It is still hard to grasp and to realize how many people have been influenced by this. It is easy to say that this only happened because there were evil people. However, we have to face the truth…

It is like a bad dream, but within 1.5 years, we have reached the stage that governments are discussing mandatory vaccination. Millions and millions of people have already been vaccinated, and some of them have paid a high price by getting very severe side effects, or even by dying from the new mRNA vaccines. In this article, I will discuss what the problems are with the mRNA vaccines and what to do if you don´t want to be vaccinated with one of these mRNA vaccines.

To teach our immune system how to handle a new pathogen, we can expose it…

The Triffin dilemma, or Triffin´s paradox, was first described by the economist Robert Triffin in 1959. He described the dilemma that arises when a nation´s currency also serves as the international reserve currency, i.e., the U.S. dollar $. This situation creates differing objectives between short-term domestic policies and long-term international policies. To solve this dilemma, the international reserve currency should not be a nation´s currency. The IMF has proposed different solutions like the Bancor, but none of these solutions have been able to replace the USD. A decentralized currency like Bitcoin could offer a solution.

The dilemma consists of the…

Ursula von der Leyen has told us, Europeans have already decided (I can´t remember that Europeans were asked this specifically, maybe I just missed it…). They want to make the EU climate neutral by 2050. Emissions will be cut by at least 55% by 2030 while promising economic growth and the creation of jobs. And a fair and just transition for all Europeans is ensured. These are all wonderful words spoken by a politician, so let us look at what these words will have for real-life consequences.

The Green Deal document is 12.000 pages. Is this to explain what all…

The feeling that you literally `fall` asleep just when you start drifting away at the beginning of your sleep, the feeling that you make a misstep while you are laying in bed, this is called sleep twitch or hypnagogic jerk. You might not know this name, but most people do know the feeling! So what is it, and what is the cause of this, sometimes annoying, phenomenon?

Sleep Twitch or Hypnagogic Jerk

Hypnagogic jerks are short, involuntary muscle jerks or twitches that occur right as you are falling asleep. They are involuntary muscle twitches that occur quickly, with the muscles immediately returning to relaxation. …

Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will eventually kill Bitcoin, Edward Chancellor (a financial historian, journalist, and investment strategist) believes.

The central banks of multiple leading economies such as Japan, the U.S. Fed, the ECB, and developing countries as well, are looking into digital currencies, seeking to launch their own CBDCs. The People’s Bank of China is the leader at the moment, as it has been testing the actual use of the digital Yuan by consumers.

CBDCs are easier to distribute than cash, and the first CBDC issuance is likely to raise inflation. However, after that, governments and central banks are…

According to Freud, we instinctively search for pleasure to satisfy our biological and psychological needs. The id, our unconscious psychic energy, thrives on pleasure and is linked to libido. Freud described the pleasure principle as the program of what decides the purpose of life. This driving force is not in touch with reality, logic, or social norms.

The counterpart of the pleasure principle is the reality principle. The reality principle describes the capacity to postpone gratification of a desire if reality disallows its immediate gratification. The id rules immediate gratification and controls us in infancy and childhood. When adult, we…
