Why in English

In my view, we (humankind) are in a globalization and localization process at the same time. The reason is that we always have been local tribe people. But through modern communications (internet) are becoming globally more integrated.

It is a fact that the global integration language is international English.

I don't want to focus on Nations anymore. The new world order (I think) will be along the lines of metropolitan areas. In the transition phase, the Nations and all their old world order systems are inconveniences we have to live with.

I do have my ideas about my land of birth. But in the same time, I can see that its future is not in Den Haag. De growing center of this metropolitan area is going to be is Eindhoven, not Amsterdam nor Den Haag.

Amsterdam, where all my family is from, will become just one of the blobs of Ringstad. Ringstad is my name for the Dutch-speaking metropolis that is slowly but surely replacing what the Dutch call Randstad. It covers all the Netherlands, Flanders and parts of Germany.

I will live a more international live from now on. Partial living in the Amsterdam area and partial living in the Piedmont, Italy area.

This blog is about ad hoc analyses on humanity issues. My Dutch and Ringstad analyses blog is the Ringstad blog (NL)

For science and technology, I have the Clocked S O blog (EN)

For business, I have the ClockeModular blog (NL)

The worn out world order

Context Humanity is an ever-changing organism. Modern society is railed by rules, standards, and laws. In recent history, several attempts have been made to unify humanity and have common laws. Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 for example. And the League of Nations . And finally the United Nations . Parallel to the good intentions, group powers and armament developed. And this painted an evolving picture for the reality of all good intentions embedded in the UN and such. Causing these intentions becoming obsolete time and time again. And thus also the UN. Russia goes its own way. Islamic extremists like Iran go their own way. All undermining the so-called global rule based society.  The Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered a whole new power and armament reality. As happened in the past, all kind of new technology pops up that did not exist when the last time armament was tested in real battle. And again, painting a complete new power picture. Russia and China appear not to be t...

Left versus right as political classification is obsolete

The obsolete model What Wikipedia says about it. On this type of political spectrum , left-wing politics and right-wing politics are often presented as opposed, although a particular individual or group may take a left-wing stance on one matter and a right-wing stance on another; and some stances may overlap and be considered either left-wing or right-wing depending on the ideology. In France, where the terms originated, the left has been called "the party of movement" or liberal , and the right "the party of order" or conservative . The three class view If we look to the history of politics, we can clearly recognize another aspect of dominant division that is actual more critical to type political movements, namely nation central dominance (controlled) versus "Laissez Faire" ( let it be) . Communists and (National) Socialists are clear historic examples of controlled politics. And nowadays, all technocrat politics have a tendency to soft or hard cro...

Why "tax" is becoming an old-fashioned word

The globalization of the past decades will have language consequences in the future. One of them will be the disappearance of the word tax. Its replacement (the modern equivalent) will be public service cost. I explain why: About the randomness of tax Where and what to pay tax for? People in a city environment (modern global society) need good public services and people are willing to pay for it. We (the free world people) require roads; public transport; an education network; a value exchange system (money); electronic communications (internet); air transport hubs (airports) and so on. All necessary for modern life. And all only possible if we work somehow together to maintain them. Three main categories of public services. If you analyze what main types of public services there are, they can be classified into three groups: security-services; network-services and care-services. Security services Security services are needed to prevent threats to have impact. And fight the impact of a...
