Voluntary Childlessness

A question children get a lot at an early age, is what they want to become “when they grow up”. Let me just put aside for a minute the somewhat problematic assumption that a child isn’t already something to begin with. The point I am getting at is that many children actually have ...

Lifetip 5: Calibrate and compare

This lifetip was originally supposed to be titled ‘Create your own compass’. When Jesse Frederik discussed this lifetip in a Rudi & Freddie podcast episode, he lamented that fact that people tend to prioritize whatever fact they encounter most often. He described that, as a consequ...

A few years ago I went to visit my big brother in Paris. I had taken the toll-road on the way there and, since I wasn’t in a hurry, I decided to take the long way up and enjoy the landscape a bit more on my way back. En route, I kept seeing signs pointing in certain directions saying “C...

Icon Gap year: what does it get you?

I read an article in my regional newspaper about young adults who consciously choose to take a gap year. “The coolest thing I have ever done”, “I really stepped out of my comfort zone”, “Good to do something where you get to know yourself better.” A gap year has a...
