Visited Tate Modern. This installation hit me hard. Never been more relevant.

Why is it so difficult to learn a new language when you’re not young anymore? Is it that young people have a lower barrier for self humiliation and therefore care less about saying rubbish? Anyway, I’m embarking on my 12th Dutch-learning program. This time it’s AI-enabled. That should do it.

I’m so disappointed that Crime and Punishment ended like that. As if he had to tie all the loose ends in a hurry. I was expecting more gruesome stuff and no hope. Am I the only one?
Still, it’s an amazing story and so relevant today. It lives forever in my head.

Great album. Just put it on my favorite list for later. Thanks.

Thanks for the reco, will put it on my “want to read” list

A short break of the horrid, winter, rainy, stormy Amsterdam-weather. Escaped the family obligations and did a little run through a park in Amsterdam. Listened to my favorite history podcast. And in between analyzing the life of Beethoven, they played this piece. Unbelievably powerful.

Have you ever read “Crime and Punishment”?
I just started. It’s brilliant and still super relevant. There is so much human wisdom in here. And in between, you’re being entertained with a murder story. I can understand why he is trending on #TikTok.

So powerful, simple and raw emotions. Not for kids.

2/2 He puts brilliant words on crazy sufferings which are normal for many people - even today. And Ivan still maintains a positive look on life. Focus on the now and simple things that makes you happy

Just finished #Solszhenetsyn’s
“One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich”. My sentiment after putting down this masterpiece: How can I, a human living in a free, democratic place with healthy family and friends around me ever complain about life? 1/2

Reading #Solzhenitsyn, “One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich”. Fabulous quote from the dynamics of the Gulags. Still true in today’s life in the #corporateworld.

Picasso’s Guernica is the most brutal painting I have ever seen. Standing in front of it and sensing the suffering and pain that humans are able to inflict on each other was mind blowing. If you then read the back story and the importance of the painting. Wow!

Nxt museum in Amsterdam Noord. Fascinating digital, light and sound pieces. Questions how art will be done and performed in a AI driven age. Can we recognize and sympathize the human element in there? Does it matter?

There is so much truth to be exhausted from the great modern artists who lived through the depression, war and after-math. These are from Jorn museum in Silkeborg.
