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)

Left versus right as political classification is obsolete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

The battle of the oceans

We often talk about 'the west' but there is more to it, I think. And this (more) has major implications on geopolitics. We should talk about the (autocratic) land people culture versus the (free) sea people culture. Is it the war for Ukraine and the potential war for Taiwan, or is there a deeper war going on? I think the latter. Let me explain. I see the world moving forward from a (land) nations dominated organization into a free space network organization. I can see a history of wars between freedom and serfdom. The most brutal ones have been the wars of the west and Japan against China. Think about the brutal Opium wars and the Second Sino Japanese War . And the permanent battle with sea powers surrounding it from the Russian Empire in all its forms of appearance (Communistic or not) till today. We live in a time when these wars culminate into global conflicts and new wars. Probably and hopefully the final wars. Beijing, Moscow, Vienna, and Paris have one thing in common, t
