Ecological Sustainability and Social Sustainability are mutually exclusive concepts because a product, service, experience and even you as an individual or organizations as a collective can act and be functioning ecologically sustainable, but not (fully) social sustainable, or vice versa, or you can be functioning both (fully) ecologically and socially sustainable, or not be functioning ecologically and socially sustainable (at all).

Concrete examples of these 4 scenario’s are;

1. Banning all commercial and cargo airplanes from flying if they’re burning fossil fuel is the most ecological sustainable thing to do for the planet, but because of not having better aviation alternatives the economical and social revolt this will cause makes it that no sensible government would even entertain the idea to go implement this at present times. Of course, not tackling the pollution in the aviation industry is also not social sustainable, so I think this is a good example in the challenges we’re facing as a collective to find a proper balance in being both ecological sustainable and social sustainable.

2. A health-coach helping a client is a service that’s fully social sustainable, but if the health-coach travels each week in a diesel or gas car going 100km back and forth to the house of the client, while also doing for example massages with scented palm oils with oils sourced from deforested places and buys on the way each time at the tankstation a plastic water bottle that’s on top of being from plastic, also produced by a corporation extracting water from communities and nature without paying their fair share, then that’s a social sustainable service not being (fully) ecological sustainable.

3. An example of a true 100% ecological sustainable and 100% social sustainable product, service, experience, person or organization is really hard to find, and one could argue maybe even impossible to achieve in present times. Even Greta Thunberg bought or used (and probably in the future will buy or use at least once more) something manufactured with (child) slave labor and ate something (with an ingredient) sourced from deforested places, it’s unfortunately inevitable in the current global supply chain. I challenge anyone to write a comment with a product, service, experience, person or organization they believe at this moment is 100% ecological sustainable and 100% socially sustainable, I simply can’t.

4. Same goes for the combination of true 0% ecological sustainable and 0% socially sustainable, I simply can’t think of one product, service, experience, person or organization which/whom I could confidently say they are 0% of both. You can argue that oil extraction is 0% ecological sustainable, but I still need to find the person that can provide proof that it’s also 0% socially sustainable. If you think you can defend oil being 0% socially sustainable or you have an example of something (or someone or an organization) being 0% socially sustainable, please share you thoughts with me know in the comments below.

To expand on my last point, the problem with the oil extraction is the greed at which we as humans are consuming it, because probably in 100 or more years we as a global society would still need at least a few crucial things that can only be produced using that crude oil we are extracting and consuming by the millions of barrels a day. At the pace of consumption and with a growing population, will there be any oil left in the ground in 50 years? With technological advances we might be able to create crude oil from algae in production plants, but will these advances come fast enough at scale for us to completely stop damaging our planet? That extracting oil is still not being priced and taxed as the 0% ecological sustainable product it is, is truly bizarre in 2021 because much of it is being consumed for “pleasure” and “gluttony” and so on the other hand it’s definitely also not 100% socially sustainable to keep it at these prices. In general people should not be able to afford spending gas to take their car only a few blocks away to a store to buy coffee and donuts.

In essence, same goes with (precious) metal mining. Without some (precious) metals most of us wouldn’t be able to have the laptop, tablet or phone they are currently using to read this blog. On top of this “production need”, there is a bigger social need for precious metals than there is a social need for crude oil. Gold and silver have been a store of wealth for more than 5000 years and they will stay being a store of wealth for millennia to come, simply because as biological beings holding something physical will always beat “holding” something digital. The reason for this is because, besides the mental energy it takes to decide to spend something that holds great value to you (being it a physical or digital asset), it takes a much greater physical energy to go spend the precious metal than it takes to spend digital assets. With digital assets, in most cases a few clicks and your done, with physical assets in most cases you even need to leave your house to go spend it. Same effect you get with people who want to get their spending habits under control, they create spending budgets and start using (physical) cash to make payments in shops, instead of using card payments. So if you ask me, between precious metals and crypto, what should you hold going into retirement? If you can, diversify and hold both, and if you don’t like to take too much risks you give more weight to precious metals. My hypothesis is that you will see that you will be more inclined and feel better selling your crypto (in times of financial need) than you would be selling your precious metals. That psychological effect precious metals have on us makes them perfect assets to hold wealth (especially in an inflationary economic system).

The point of the latter two paragraphs was to show that everything sits somewhere on a (ecological & social) sustainability scale. Without you knowing Dutch, you probably recognize those yellow stars telling you how bad or awesome that product (service, experience or store) is. One of my goals with Viisiit. is to make it so that shops will also start showing a (blue) sustainability score together with the yellow “general review” scores. I strongly believe in SDG #17 (Partnerships) and from the start my team and I will work to form partnerships with other startups and (more) established shops to integrate this on their (e-commerce) platforms too, but from the start we will introduce our own sustainability score based on the average of 3 scores given by separate groups. See the screenshot of the sustainability score for more detailed information on this.

Most people, from every generation, do want to do better for themselves and the planet, the only problem is that doing better for the planet for most people cannot come at the cost of personal convenience. This makes it that most people will not take the effort and time to go research how sustainably produced a product is before buying, even though if given the choice, they would choose to buy a more sustainably produced product, even when there’s a cheaper but less sustainable alternative to choose from. With Viisiit. we’re working hard to make it more convenient for consumers to assess the sustainability of their purchases.

For full disclosure, crowd-sourcing the sustainability score and the blue color for the sustainability score is not my idea, but I got inspired to incorporate these ideas in our service offering of Viisiit. by an article written by David Sarokin, titled: Five-star Sustainability: how to crowd-source our way to a better world. Before finding this article the plan was to only give a (green) sustainability score / stars to our Public Welcomers (or their product/service/experience offerings) based on their own self-assessment and our own internal assessment. Giving “the crowd” a voice in this actually makes a lot of sense and we need blue oceans and blue skies for a healthy planet, so making the stars blue actually also makes more sense. If interested, you can get the article at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318978563_Five-Star_Sustainability_How_to_crowd-source_our_way_to_a_better_world.

Before I get to my chosen social responsibilities , I think it’s important for you to know that I believe the essence of what differentiates us, modern humans, with the humans living in the middle ages is the social rights and responsibilities modern democratic western civilizations brought into our lives. Before this, and something many people in third world countries still face in present times, there was no cohesive societal structure wherein one can develop themselves with the communal amenities western societies give their citizens as their birthright. In the middle ages the only right you had was the right to defend and take care of yourself (and eventually your inner circle of people you lived with) for example by providing for food you either cultivated and//or scavenged, or worked for others like for “noble people” to provide yourself with a modest living, a home and food to eat.

There is great comfort in western societies and this comfort eventually even brought now peace, as in non-violent aggression between states, in most western societies. The problem herein lies in the fact that this peace is now inherently linked to this great comfort we created and once this comfort vanishes it will be hard, maybe even impossible to contain this peace between nations. We will most definitely lose this comfort when we degrade our planet in such a state that there will not be anything anymore we can do to prevent our planet to become inhospitable for humans (and most animals and plants) in most regions, if not all. My blog is not to paint a dark picture. My intention with this second paragraph is to give a serious warning to anyone reading this who are still doubting or even refusing to believe and acknowledge the damage we humans are doing to our planet.

For everyone else doing their part helping in turning the tide of the ongoing mass extinction of animals and plants caused by among other; the destruction of their habitats, heating of our planet and acidification of our oceans, you need to remember and never doubt that your actions, however small at this moment, does make an impact.

The thing is that, the great comfort we have here in the western societies, at least when you see it from a “feeling” or “perception” standpoint, does never need to vanish to save our planet. It only needs to change, or put another way, only our expectation of it needs to change while we can keep experiencing the same (or even greater) level of (collective felt) satisfaction from the new (green) great comfort. With the rights and responsibilities we gave ourselves in western societies, we started embracing the privileges we have without accepting the extra responsibilities these privileges came with.

You are right when you say that humans can be evil, because we humans in the past and in the present are still doing some evil things to each other, but you are never right when you say that humans are inherently evil. I have yet need to talk to a person who killed someone or an animal (or more people and/or animals) who can say with a straight face or even smiling face that they’ve enjoyed doing it. People in slaughterhouses don’t enjoy killing animals, same as a pathologist doesn’t enjoy doing an autopsy on a death body. I believe most people in these professions understand the need for their jobs in our societies and have respect for the responsibility they carry in performing their duties. Only absolute psychopaths and sociopaths would enjoy hurting others, and luckily for us, there aren’t many people who’s mental state get to become so detached from the essence that makes us biological social beings.

Even most people now disbelieving in climate change, or human caused climate change, are not evil people who don’t care for our planet. I’m sure a great deal of them love animals, are volunteers in charitable organizations, and don’t walk around littering their neighborhoods. Most of the (human caused) climate change disbelievers are like that because they are either not convinced we are causing it so they believe we cannot also do anything about it, they are afraid of the costs and (financial) sacrifices needed to invest in green technologies and environmental regeneration efforts, and most importantly they don’t want to even think of losing the (great) comfort they already have.

The latter reasons are of course all negative-egotistical reasons for not wanting to take action to help better our planet for ourselves and future generations, but they are also mostly reasons that cannot be embedded as being either factual or optimal in our current reality. This gives opportunity to incentivize people to re-evaluate their positions and come themselves to the conclusion that they too can contribute for a much better present for the collective self and a much better future for all of us and next generations. All negatives can get a positive sparkle, when all positives lose their sparkle and become negative, then is when all hope for our planet dies too.

One thing that can greatly help is if governments start taking the birthright people have to live on a biodiverse planet seriously. When governments start showing people that they take their right for breathing clean air and their right for drinking clean water seriously, people will start taking the responsibility for their own lives more seriously. If you feel that you’re on your own, it becomes easier to not take responsibilities for things you don’t think are in your control. When people know that their government takes their rights seriously, they also start taking the responsibility in being able to keep enjoying that right.

In regards to the social responsibilities I’ve chosen to help give future generations the same privilege of enjoying these responsibilities within our societies, they all relate to one thing, my desire and conviction to help others. Of course, I know that I personally cannot help everyone at once with their needs and some people even wouldn’t want my help for x reasons. In the past, I need to confess that I did seek or took the challenge of helping someone who either needed help but didn’t want to be helped, or wanted help but didn’t want to do the effort themselves to improve their situation. Both situations are exhausting and 9 out of 10 unproductive and yields (almost) no results. Nowadays, since having adopted the 5P-Formula in my life, when in such a situation I tell the person my honesty in why I cannot help and if I know someone in my network who’s either specialized and/or have the expertise to help in such cases (if they have been able to deal with my honesty), I facilitate a meeting between the parties.

I’m single and people ask me if I’m not planning on getting my own family. I understand this question because there is no future generation to hand over the responsibilities of safekeeping this planet if we ourselves don’t create and raise the next generations. The answer to this question I give is always simple, but in this blog I want to expand it further. Because the simple answer is that since I became a sperm donor in 2009, I did it among other for not to worry about the “biological act of creation” anymore and so that I get room in my life to be able to completely focus on my career and the things in society I wanted to see become better. For full disclosure, I am not against marriage, nor I am saying that I won’t ever get married or raise my biological children myself. I am only saying for that to happen things would need to fit in my plans. Also, in regards to marriage, people might think that I am saying this out of self interests, but I want to get married when every adult can marry with whomever they want, so if 3 or more adults wants to form a household and make it a married household, that should be 100% legal.

Especially when you take our climate challenges into account, making it easier for multiple adults to share a household and even making it easier for multiple adults to raise kids while taking shared parenting needs to be higher on the priority list for governments to facilitate in their countries. If you look for example at the Netherlands, there’s a growing number of one-person households heating whole apartments and houses where 2 or more people could comfortably live. Also economically speaking, buying groceries and household items in bulk is more affordable and many times more environmentally friendly because you’re getting less (plastic) packaging for more items in house.

To not digress from my main point, I see it as a great danger to our western civilization if our current crony-capitalistic system stays being the status quo. Growing up and even coming to study to the Netherlands I was under the impression that I would contribute in changing our system being active as a politician, starting maybe as a public servant. Realizing that I can still contribute on helping the public sector from the outside, while I can have more effect in helping to change the private sector from the inside, made me become a management consultant and social consultant/activist. The work I’m doing with Tiiendemanns Group is merely an extension and addition to what I started with T.C.P.A. Consultancy.

Only, with Tiiendemanns Group I can kill two birds with one stone; change the current capitalistic system while helping to solve our climate problem by tackling social causes in a social-capitalistic way. The latter means in our case that we’ve monetized helping people based on a freemium-businessmodel connected to a corporate profit scheme that is structurally permanently linked to giving significant amounts back to the communities.

The hypothesis is simple, once people realize that they can get same product X, maybe paying for a bit more using our service, but they can afterwards see and experience for themselves what the proceeds of their purchase have contributed to in their neighborhood or other parts of their country, conscious consumers will always choose for shopping at a place where they can also be proud of saying they’ve shopped there. I couldn’t be proud of saying that I bought something from certain companies not worth being mentioned now, so I won’t even dirty my conscious by buying on (e-commerce / social-media-marketplace) platforms even if through google searches I see they offer the lowest prices. I mention Google here, even though in essence they could be seen as (indirect) competitor of the service we’re building. I believe in SDG #17, and that (strategic) partnerships are the present and future, so Google will only become our competitor if they choose to see us as one.

Same with the current capitalistic system, there is a fundamental problem with the current non-profit sector. The non-profit sector is in essence primarily money focused and secondarily focused on helping to solve their (charitable) causes. The reason for this is simple because for most (charitable) causes, without money/funds there is not much you can do. A great example of a non-profit not needing to worry about capital who already showed success in helping to solve their (charitable) causes is the Melinda and Bill Gates Foundation.

I designed Tiiendemanns Group to become a profitable business that creates perpetual liquidity for our charitable organizations, who in turn don’t need to worry about finances and they can fully focus on their charitable goals. I’m 35 years old, I don’t plan on going with pension, but I also don’t expect to need so much time to make Tiiendemanns Group start tackling it’s charitable goals.

More Wild Animals Foundation is the non-profit organization tasked to help turn the tide of the ongoing mass extinction of all types of species with natural ecosystems restorations (1), including re-development or natural restoration of abandoned (precious metals) mines (2) and bringing awareness to the public about our destructive human activities and educating people on how to better co-exist with nature (3).

Connecting Foundation is the non-profit organization tasked by Tiiendemanns Group to help combat homelessness (1) and help children put for adoption get a loving upbringing where they get the same chances of success in life as any other children (2), and help other charities with motivating the public and facilitating the onboarding of volunteers to help with their causes (3).

I am writing this so you can keep me accountable to my words; if by the end of 2030 Tiiendemanns Group hasn’t at least already given a 9-figure donation to our charitable organizations, I will feel like I’ve failed. So by 2030, I fully expect More Wild Animals Foundation and Connecting Foundation to be fully operational and have already successfully executed their first charitable (communal) projects.

Today (at the time of writing) was a very weird day for me, so there is no better day than today to write what the fuck is happening to me and my companies. At the beginning of the year I met someone whom I immediately fallen (entrepreneurially speaking) in love with this person. In the social media posts I wrote on LinkedIn and Twitter to announce the occasion of her having joined the team, I already explained my experience of this journey.

The short story relevant for this blog is that it took a while before Manjinder (the first co-founder for this story) and I welcomed her on the team and before she joined we welcomed another lady whom I immediately felt homely with her. I am the oldest child of two brothers and even for my father and mother I grew from a young age having taken the parental role in the family, so I appreciated having someone like a big sister that I could entrust to join our team.

After the first lady I met beginning of the year joined the team, not long afterwards a gentleman, who same as the second lady who joined the team, also reacted on the LinkedIn co-founder’s job post I posted beginning of the year, joined the team and became the 4th (official) co-founder of Tiiendemanns Group. In between him joining to a couple of weeks ago we even briefly welcomed another person to the team, but eventually we couldn’t work a working arrangement out wherein everyone was pleased with the conditions. On LinkedIn and Twitter I only alluded to this, but because the deal wasn’t fully finalized there was not much other I could say about this.

Seriously speaking there is also not much other I can say and express my opinion on what caused what happened today. What I can do is give an overview of what the major business events were for Tiiendemanns Group. Since the last two co-founders joined the team the recap of what has changed and (a few of) the compromises I eventually needed to go make for them to stay on the team are (tried putting them in chronological order, but don’t hold me to that);

1. Pause working on PreciousChips until we finish putting Viisiit. on the market
2. Limiting the amounts of postings directly relating to the company (or its operations) on social media until we got on the same page
3. Agreed to not make the products and services social-capitalistic ventures (in their public messages or part of its operations), they stay pure capitalistic beholden to ESG-principles, only the mother-holding company becomes pure social-capitalistic, with 100% of the profits of the mother-holding company (for at least 15 years = new statutory rule) go to Tiiendemanns Groups’s (TG) charitable causes, and the profits after those 15 years going to the charities cannot go any lower than 51% for as long as their statutory missions haven’t been achieved
4. Agreed to give all founding team members and outside investors the opportunity to invest and obtain directly shares in both the Viisiit. and PreciousChips ventures
5. Agreed to make less profit from both the ventures of Viisiit. and PreciousChips go to charities so that the founding team members and investors can personally financially profit more in the short/medium term, instead of mostly only in the medium/long term as per the original plan (latter especially the case for founding team members) from their (time, efforts and money) investments
6 Agreed to take the 5P-Formula full out of the external communication from (the lower layers of the companies within) TG
7. Agreed to lower my super majority vote on the (management) boards to a significant controlling vote on the (management) boards
8. Agreed to lower my supra majority vote in the shareholders meetings to a slight significant controlling vote in the shareholders meetings
9. Limited my activities of talking to potential investors or new potential team members until we got on the same page
10. To level the governance structure more, agreed to not take the Chairperson role and divide the end-responsibility of this role between all founding (non-executive) board members, and the board decides in the future when to create the office of the Chairperson
11. Agreed to also not take the role and end-responsibilities of the President anymore in the lower layers of the company and divide the (end-)responsibilities of this role between the ones in Layer 2 and the first Layer 3 ventures and the board decides in the future when to create the office of the President for those layers
12. Agreed to modify the (go-to-market) business model of Viisiit.
13. Agreed to increase the initial share ownership in the companies and shorten the vesting and cool-off periods for the founding team members

There are more points that could be added to this list, the take away is that we’ve actually came very far, even signed a founder’s agreement, but unfortunately (subjective) things said and done in the past between all parties can’t be either forgiven or shaken away entirely for us to properly function as a healthy, productive team. It does not please me at all to need to tell you that between me and the co-founders, we’ve reached a spot where the working environment we created became unworkable for us to continue working together. As far as concerning Manjinder, this wild rollercoaster ride left him wanting to now focus only on his family and to conserve energy to build his own tailor-made suit business. So by the time I post this blog it would also mean that we’ve signed a dissolution agreement to part ways and I’ll be taking over for the time being the management and execution of this project again.

Needs to be said that I deeply appreciate their efforts and trust that the new co-founders put in Manjinder and me for at least trying to work things out as co-founders, even if so short lived, so I don’t feel the need to go explain much more in-depth about what happened. On the other hand, I am in essence an open book, so if they ever feel the need to explain their reasonings for deciding to leave the team I don’t have any objection to that if they want to. Of course, the “legalese” here is that I retain the right to defend myself in person and public to any (wrongful) accusations and allegations done by anyone, including my mother, father and younger brother, so I cannot exclude (ex)co-founders.

When I started with the idea of Tiiendemanns Group, one of the main goals I had is to build a company that I can leave to the world for present and future generations to benefit from it, wherein literally a significant portion of the global population is able to get ownership in the company. To do this I trusted my 5P-Formula and went against conventional practices and dared to look for strangers with different (cultural, socio-economic, educational, etc) backgrounds to join the founding team strengthening us with their skills and experiences. I won’t quit this goal, but unfortunately at this moment I cannot also give the good anecdote that it’s more effective to preserve time. On the other hand I also cannot definitively say that it is not better than starting this project working with people you already have a close relationship with, like you’d have with family or your good friends. One thing I can say is that this journey so far has been an extremely insightful, interesting and definitely more fun than not, even if sometimes extremely frustrating.

In the end, I do believe it’s more beneficial on the long term for a company to have a diverse team, and what I’ve learned is that seeking diversity for the sake of diversity doesn’t help. Especially for founding team members there needs to be more binding the team members together than only the desire to build a kick-ass company for the world. Our hard work, unfortunately for the time being continues without female representation (now only male, millennial & LGBTQ representation, again) on the board, which is something I hope to be able to announce soon enough again that we welcomed at least new qualified female co-founders to the team!

In regards to the thirteen points mentioned above, I’m only modifying parts of the business wherein I e.g. needed to compromise and accept less money going to charities. Not at the same level as I started with, yet at least a few percentages higher to feel fully confident again that this company can work to get enough resources for itself to help solve the great societal and environmental challenges we’re facing in the world. Overall I’m keeping most of the changes and these changes have made the company structure at least much more financially worthwhile in the short term already for investors, which should make the acquisition round go smoother going forwards.

Lastly, the title of this blog comes from a motivational quote I found on Reddit. When I read this, we just had “the last big fight in the team” and it made me realize that I am not in control of the expectations people have of me. Just to give you an example, at the beginning of this blog I consciously used a “curse word” because since I made the 5P-Formula public, I’ve been battling the expectation people have of me that I must now be acting like a saint or that I believe that I’m a perfect human being. People, I only know through experience that being always honest gives you an advantage over people who starts a relationship lying, deceiving, hustling or e.g. “faking till they make it”, being always honest (please read this as: giving always your subjective honesty) does not make you infallible or stop experiencing emotions.

What happens now? In life and so also now in this case, when four doors closes, other doors and bridges opens, follow the socials to stay informed!

The journey continues...

Recently I’ve lost something that many would now consider of having a priceless value, 1000’s* of hours of work “digitalizing “ the 1001 Year Plan and my archive of the interesting, useful tips and ideas gathered since I bought this iPad I’m using to type this blog. This loss was because of an utterly dumb move on my part by deleting an app that wasn’t responding with the intention of installing it backup, which was also the app that was storing all these documents, while knowing that there was no back-up and most documents couldn’t so weren’t being automatically saved on iCloud.

I’m not gonna put the name of the app, because even though it was malfunctioning, there is a chance that if I didn’t delete it it could’ve somehow resetted itself and I still would’ve had all my documents today. But, you also won’t hear me promoting this app because that you can loose all your files in 2021 without a warning beforehand doesn’t give me much trust that something like this somehow can’t happen again with their app. So a reminder for anyone that needs it is thus, make regular back-ups of your important files and if possible, combine that with more cloud usage too.

The only reason why I’m not freaking out for what happened is because of the important files I digitalized for the 1001 Year Plan, all were created first using pen and paper and those “offline” files I still have. Also, the most crucial documents I fortunately shared with my team members so we still have copies of those. More importantly, best that it happened now, while we’re still not fully operational than when we’re already fully operational because now we can take extra measures within our team that prevents such events from ever being able to happen again.

In life most memorable events that we internalize are when we loose something or someone. Even during life’s great memorable events like e.g. anniversary and wedding parties, a lot that will afterwards be discussed are the bad things that happened there, or another way of putting it is when a good moment was lost. Such events can create moments in life where many people go to reevaluate the situation they’re in, the person they are or who they have become, the people they interact with, etc.. When you think about this, you’ll realize that such deep reevaluation moments rarely come when things are going good, because when you feel that things are going good you’re just chasing the next score or just living to keep the status quo.

You can say that I’m writing this blog not only for it to act as a reminder to anyone who needs to check if they have a back-up of what they deem important to have, but also to act as a reminder to anyone who needs to “hear” these life truths (again);
- Losses don’t make you a loser, only the actions you take can make you a loser
- If you feel like a loser, so long you’re alive you can do something about it and remember that feelings are not always truths
- Making mistakes can never make you a loser, not accepting or lying about your mistakes always makes you a (sore) loser

Life is a continuous series of new beginnings. Even death which belongs to life is a moment of new beginning for someone. If you’re an atheist you can see the latter in a literal sense, as in, that persons body started a new process of decomposition and (most people) will eventually fully disintegrate again into the natural world. If you’re religious or spiritual, death means the beginning of the reunification with the universal energy, where some religions and spiritual people believe the reunification of the universal energy means a new opportunity to enter the natural world again with a new mission of existence.

I want to end this blog with a personal question to you: are you a person that fills your life with the memories of your losses, or are you a person that lives life enriching yourself with the lessons of the opportunities given with the new beginnings?

✌🏽❤️✨

P.s: I’ve put a link to the Tiiendemanns Group page hereunder for the people who want to get more information about the 1001 Year Plan!

*In the first version of this blog I wrote 100’s of hours, only if you take all the work that went into creating the documents that I’ve lost, it’s fairer to say 1000’s of hours than 100’s of hours, even though there are 100’s of hours in 1000’s of hours.

Seeing how the word “great” has been completely raped from its original context by groups of people that only wanted to enrich themselves, not only on the backs of the majority of the people in the world, but also by destroying our planet and making much more plants and animals that we are sharing this planet with go extinct.

For this I want to give another perspective on the meaning of greatness, and more especially what it practically would mean for every human being, animal and plant species to experience greatness for all on this planet.  

​For most parts in the world we can feel that there is only 24 hours in a day, as biological beings we need to sleep to not destroy and/or repair our bodies, and only a finite amount of people that can create greatness in the world on any given day.

One needs to actively choose for greatness, accept that what in essence is greatness is always subjective on an individual level, and collectively we will know when we have achieved greatness, as then there cannot be any denial.

With honesty you conquer your fears, with resilience you can overcome all obstacles and together we can achieve greatness that generations to come will get to experience and pass on to the next generations living all on a healthy, hospitable, regenerative and (bio)diverse planet.

Achieving greatness is an all or nothing game, can’t have it any other way. 

Just like with Peace and Prosperity for all, going for greatness for all is a choice that we collectively haven’t made yet, and without Peace and Prosperity for all it will never be achieved.

Last weeks I’ve taken a break from posting and became a lurker for the time being again on social-media to have full concentration again on the startup we’re founding. Because of COVID-19 we needed to go back to the drawing board, not to change the concepts, but to work out a new operational strategy during and post-COVID-19. The other reason is because as I’ve written in this earlier blog before (https://www.tcpaconsultancy.com/blog/fundamental-human-right) about the importance of voting, I’m now scared shitless (pardon the French) that we’re seeing 2016 unfolding before our eyes again and if I start talking about this on social media it will go frustrate and consume me too much.

I would want to talk about what Joe Biden and his team are proposing to go do, but on social media it now looks to me, generally speaking, that people are only interested in talking either negatively or positively about Trump and the real down-to-earth awesomeness of Joseph (Joe) R. Biden gets too little highlighted. This latter thing about Biden is something that I myself in the past was skeptical about seeing the posts I was reading about how things went with Hunter in Ukraine, but he explained it and I believe him. No human is without flaws, and unlike Trump, Biden is honest enough to admit to that. Besides that, what he and Jill has, you can see from a mile away that it is a pure relationship. I also even admit that in a debate Bernie Sanders probably wouldn’t have been able to contain his disgust and contempt for the character that became Trump as presidential as Biden did, and that might’ve given Trump a win in the first debate.

As I believe that we’re in a 2016 situation again and come November 4th it will be Donald Trump “crowned” President again as he wishes too (even though he’s now saying the opposite at rallies), I couldn’t be able to live with myself if I don’t share what I found of him a few weeks ago now in this blog and on social media, and come November 4th he indeed wins. Doing this also is doing exactly the opposite of what I said in the second paragraph, but I believe that I’ve found the reason why even I found this man interesting enough to even follow on social media’s and read and see a lot of materials of him. I came to the conclusion that if I only after he wins decide to go show you this information, it will make this information totally worthless.

Seeing we’re so close to the election, if I can even help one US citizen understand the implication of them not going to vote for Biden, this blog will be worth it. Most importantly, if he wins, this blogs stays important for the implications of that fact. I don’t see how anybody can change this view that I have, as I absolutely believe that if Trump indeed wins again, the world needs to go on a literal red alert for at least the coming decade, if not decades to come. Not only for the state of our planet and the other species co-existing with us, but for our own lives and the future of the next generations to come. Writing this I need to think of Katie Patrick, and I so wish that I don’t need to write these “doom words”, but I literally cannot go look myself in the mirror having read what I’ve read and not share this and 45 keeps his power.

In the previous blog that I linked here above, I wrote that “pointing fingers, throwing blame around doesn’t help anyone, and more importantly doesn’t help our planet, it only polarizes people in a time where we should be uniting.” and I wrote then that I also believe that someone like Trump can still change his ways, when he gets confronted with a reality where people stand up to him in large numbers. One thing needs to be absolutely clear is that I don’t believe that we need to have the patience with Trump for him to change his ways, as that is just playing with our own future and the future of generations to come.

2020 has been an unprecedented year with things happening all over the world that literally no human could have guessed everything that has happened already. I took a break from posting on social media after Trump allegedly got COVID-19, and then you could see how he turned the whole narrative around with the help of his followers even in Europe where there’s a significant group of people also not taking COVID-19 serious. Getting a positive diagnosis, getting very ill to needing to go to hospital and then better than ever in about 3 days (and recently Trump even boasted that his younger son got COVID-19 and became healthy again in 15 minutes), all just conveniently right after a debate where he knew he went too far with his macho “powerful” persona (see 2nd/last debate for the change in 45’s demeanor if you don’t believe me) and after news started breaking of Melania’s conversations? The same people that believe that this was a coincidence, that there’s no coverup here, that if indeed they had COVID-19, that nobody knew before that first debate with Biden, are the same people that believe that the first goal of Diego Maradona in 1986 was a legit goal.

What is sickening me is that you’re actually seeing people even in Europe trying to help him by also actively seeking to get COVID-19 by organizing these COVID-19 “unprotected” events, protests and parties. You even heard Trump in the last debate, as one of the first things he said was how Europe is not doing that much better than them in regards to fighting the virus to get it out of our societies. The comparison to the common flu in general has only increased since Trump got it, and I think that was also the intended plan, and they’re thus succeeding. The people in Trump’s team don’t care that this virus spreads more quickly than the common flu, causes more people needing to go to the hospital and in intensive care units, and they certainly don’t care that more people stay with complications for a much longer time after they’ve became sick from it. The mantra is “it’s the economy, stupid” and life can be sacrificed for the “great economy”, and I am writing this because as you can see from the first screenshot under this blog, with 65% voter turn-out Trump can win this election.


The reason he can still win is not only because he has unprecedented fierce support for a candidate in an election from a group of people who think among other that they are the ones who may decide who can live or die on the streets, but also because the GOP has been working for a long time on gerrymandering and voter suppression measures, while taking advantage of the electoral college and the disbalans of representative oversight in Congress in comparison with the US population, and Trump has clearly found loyal allies in that group. As I see it they’re already prepping Ted Cruz to become Trump’s family’s “Medvedev” and for Jr or Ivanka to take the Trump political dynasty further. There’s rumors already that son-in-law is actively working on starting their new right-wing conservative media empire.

In between the start of my (short) break of being active on social media (FYI: you can still reach me on my phone for quicker responses) and writing this, we experienced big countries bullying and setting smaller countries and their citizens against each other to fight and kill each other, for what? National pride? We experienced someone being beheaded for teaching students over free speech, and peace-treaties being signed in exchange for solely monetary/economical gains with no respect for the lives of the other human beings living in that region. There are, of course more things that happened, but in this blog I want to shortly discuss these latter two points, and end this blog discussing why if you read the bible you can find at least 31 “coincidences” with Donald Trump and the person in the bible that they described would be the antichrist and be the mark for the end of times.

Starting with the cruel murder of Samuel Paty. The difficult part is recognizing that the killer cowardly exercised his own right of free speech by deciding that he had the right to defend the honor of his prophet. In this situation only the people involved all became victims, because the murderer of mr. Paty also got killed, giving the police officers something that they will have to live with their whole lives onwards. While the cowards that pushed the killer of Samuel to go do such a horrendous act are still walking freely believing that they are the heroes that stood for Mohammad? The assassin of our brother Samuel is another victim too of grown ups manipulating young adults minds for their own ego’s. That act has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, because such an act even go against the own true teachings of their prophet. Muhammad himself said (paraphrasing here) that Jesus was not above him and he was not above Jesus and he was only teaching his version of what he understood was the teachings he was receiving from Allah. Just like the Catholics did and created absolutisms in Jesus’ words, the Moslims did with the words of Muhammad, the scary thing is that this is something you now also even see in Trumps’ followers, like he is someone that never makes a mistake and never has to agree to ever have committed a mistake because his actions and intuition are always right.

As I explained (at least tried to) in my previous blog (https://www.tcpaconsultancy.com/blog/life-formula), I believe the entity people call Allah/God/Jehova/J*HW* is literally in everything, even ourselves and our thinking, and is the energy uniting us all, all inanimate and animate particles, objects and beings in the universe. As our being has been created through chaos, life for us all can only per definition start as chaotic, and I believe that through tapping into ourselves and uniting forces we can overcome this chaos and create balance between ourselves and our planet. There are groups of people that thrive using chaos and they don’t know any better how to live without it. The drama, the emotions felt, the feeling of being able to live rent free in peoples heads, that is a primal feeling, which is an obsession to belonging in that chaos phase. When this feeling goes extreme in people, this same primal emotions makes people feel for example that they are the ones that need to protect the integrity of someone they consider being their prophet. They for example don’t see the irony in this, that they are actually saying that their prophet is someone that can be made impure by someone who does not believe in him.

The dilemma I see with what happened to Samuel Paty is that, directly arguing with logic to the people who believe such a thing is in most cases pointless, especially when there’s no trust between the people discussing this, while on the other hand, in a total democracy these people also have the right to believe this, only of course it can never result to someone deciding to act on this believe they have. In Western societies the only way I see at the moment how one could solve this problem is by actively promoting engagement between the different cultures living now together and topics like these shouldn’t only be discussed in class rooms. These are things that need to be discussed on talk shows, on the radio, in synagogues, churches and mosques Not only when these things happen, but as regular topics. It doesn’t even need to be discussed or mentioned every time in a serious setting, as for example more social activistic artists could get the chance to talk about their artworks instead of filling airspace with who got engaged and who’s in a fight with who again. If the killer of Samuel Paty started seeing Samuel as another brother of his who just has a totally different way of having Allah in his life (even if Samuel himself didn’t believe in Allah), he never could’ve been pushed to go over the edge like that with the anger he was feeling.

The thing is that, there are still many groups of people, from white supremacist, to religious zealots, to even black supremacists who think that “their genes or culture” are superior than everyone else who is different than them. As I said before, I believe that there is no point in pointing fingers and throwing blame, because of the primal nature of people being in a state of not daring to trust in the inherent goodness that exists in other people and cultures that are different from themselves. In every culture there are bad things and in every culture there are good things, and leaders in old times used this fact for their own personal advantage. As societies matured and we entered the modern times, and we started having ways of communicating cross-cultures through books, with later radio and tv it became for leaders more difficult to create enemies from outside groups.

This brings me to the second point that I wanted to discuss, which is the “peace treaties” being closed by primarily the US and Israel. Even though it has become more difficult for leaders to point to enemies causing most of the troubles for their countries, some historical conflicts are still being passed down through generations and political leaders are still profiting from these conflicts. The modern media and internet gave individuals the freedom to go find out anything they want, but it also gave governments the ability to regulate the stream of information being shown to the mass more efficiently. In societies with a high degree of democratic principles, transparency and oversight, this ability for governments is a blessing for their societies. In countries where governments benefit from having inside and outside enemies the blessings can only be seen for the people controlling the governments, the media and e.g. internet companies.

So as things seem, these so called peace treaties are clearly propaganda to help a man keep the power he got from the minority of his citizens and I’m sure in their respective countries they are receiving great image boosts for these things. The only problem is that these peace treaties are not made valuing the dignity of all human lives, so as soon as one of the parties don’t keep their word or the money runs out, it would be back to trying to kill the enemy.

This now brings me to the third main reason why I am writing this blog and that is because I really feel that as a global society we are standing at a crossroad where we are choosing between living as a collective in a global society where unconditional respect and the truth is valued as being the only thing separating us from the other species of animals, or that we as a collective choose that as a global society hustling, lying and winning at all costs is the only way of living as we cannot separate ourselves from our primal feelings. The screenshot you saw before this blog comes from an article written by Benjamin L. Corey, where after reading my first instinct was that I need to share this on my social media channels, then came the doubt to do it because then I’ll be needing to share a “complot theory” again of Trump because I don’t believe that all the coincidences Benjamin found of him are just coincidences, and that Trump not only already knows this, but he has been working for decades to create more coincidences to the antichrist himself.

Benjamin calls himself an author, speaker, scholar and global traveler, studied Theology & Intercultural studies and received a doctorate from Intercultural Studies from Fuller Seminary who wrote an article called: “Could American Evangelicals spot the antichrist? Here are the biblical predictions”. In this article Benjamin gave 31 predictions (if I counted correctly) about the antichrist written in the bible that coincidentally or not, can be directly linked to things that Donald Trump is actively doing or has actively done, or circumstances that happened that fit situations given in the bible.

I don’t need convincing of the existence of God, but I also know that what’s written in the bible are teachings, anecdotes and mystical and mythical stories written by our elders. I also totally believe that the composition of the words in there are fully heavenly inspired with the intention to make us become much better people not only to ourselves, but also to each other and become true shepherds of this planet and explorers of the universe. These warnings of what the antichrist looks like, is not to say that there is one satan that will come and destroy us. It’s written to warn us that in essence in every one of us hides the potential to become the embodiment of the concept of the antichrist when we let ourselves be consumed by ourselves, like Donald Trump, undeniably knows no better, and there will come a time in our global society where we need to realize that we’ve given power to a man that can destroy this planet. I’m absolutely positive that God’s warning means that it is in our collective hands to turn the tides of destruction around, and that we still have a fighting chance and can overcome this. What I am also positive is that, after we’ve overcome this, future generations will still need to be vigilant of creating the perfect conditions for such a dangerous character to come to power.

A man born with the character and ambitions to conquer the world is nothing new, and throughout history we’ve seen a lot of, particularly men like him, try to advance their own interests and their families interests while rallying behind the support of their followers. If they also had so many “coincidences” with the antichrist as described in the bible, I don’t know. What I thus do know is that I don’t believe that Trump is The Antichrist, only that he’s the modern antichrist , because eventually there’s going to be more like him in the future. In this way I agree with Emmanuel Kant in that we humans will live for millions and millions of years still to come. The only challenge in this future of ours is, on what type of planet will the next man that resembles the antichrist so much stand up, again? More importantly is the question, will that future generation also defeat the ugliness and come out stronger together? Will we?

I refuse to believe that we will collectively let this planet get destroyed with the help of this man, where future generations won’t have a green planet filled with so many different species anymore. As I said here above, there are now “peace-treaties” being forged where you can see and smell from afar the cash being passed under tables just to get this man elected again. There’s a “fake friendly-ness”-bubble being created by men who love money and power so much, and they are actually playing the game so well, that by following these people we’re gambling away a better future on this planet for us and for the next generations.

Writing this I realized that even I am directly complicit of for example following Trump. I’ve tweeted this before, but if I was an US citizen, in 2016 I would’ve voted for Trump and not for Hillary. I am also at the time of writing still following Trump on Twitter, something that after posting this I will change and go unfollow him. Not because I believe he is evil incarnated. I still don’t even believe that Trump himself is evil in the same way we linked evilness to the biblical satan. But I do believe that he is one of the “antichrists” in the history of humanity that God warned us about, simply because he’s the embodiment of our humanly greed that found himself being able to manifest himself at the right place, in the right time and he saw his chance and he took it. I thus believe that God warned us that we will destroy ourselves when we follow his way of life and being, as his followers have already been doing and treating other people the same way as he does. Just to be perfectly clear, Trump as President already committed a war crime by killing a general of another country they classified as a terrorist that was plotting something against the US, without ever giving any evidence to back this up. All the while, publicly boasting that this was a better kill than Bin Laden, so this action was just to “one up’ his predecessor, again. They call his leadership style authoritative and in some right-wing circles accepting and encouraging even the authoritarian label, and it scares me to say this, but at the moment there is not much that the world can do, as our faith lies in the hands of the American voters.

Donald Trump has no principle other than he and his family comes first, afterwards the people that are loyal to them, and no one else needs to win in this life, even if that would mean burning half of his country away to achieve this. I uploaded that first video of Trump answering the question of what his favorite bible verse is, because I believe him that he knows the bible well and that it’s his favorite book. I believe he knows the bible so well, that some, if not a significant portion of the coincidences that Benjamin Corey found, are not coincidences, but conscious acts by Trump to make it seem like he fits the mold of the antichrist.

Because the thing with Trump is that he doesn’t lie every time, and sometimes he tells the truth on things politicians before him wouldn’t necessarily do. What he also perfectly orchestrated is the believe that he always speaks what’s on his mind. He lies a lot and every time he is lying he is not speaking his mind. You are also a fool to believe that he is the one tweeting everything and/or was the one that came with the idea to tweet everything he tweeted before, but his followers still use his tweeting as a measure of “speaking his mind” and be able to directly connect with him. He also dodges a lot of questions and tries to take people as fools by not giving them straight answers, and that is definitely not speaking his mind! The second to last video I uploaded under this blog is of the last debate between Biden and Trump, because there was a moment where you can see when Trump decided to go lie about Biden of something he himself was accused in the media of doing (receiving money from another country). The moment happened @ 48:40 after Biden said that (Russia) “they know I know them and they know me”. You can see the tiny smirk Donald got when he thought of throwing the “but you got $ 3.5 million from Russia”.

Having said all of this, knowing Trump, there is now, especially during the election, nothing greater that he would have wanted than to have such an article as the one of Benjamin become another story that the mainstream media will use to talk about him, so that he can totally deny this and has something to show to his followers how they want to literally demonize him. The thing is that Trump besides Republican, he also calls himself a libertarian, and as such he believes that “a man needs to be free to create his own laws and neighbors be damned”. It’s only convenient for him to say he believes in God, but when you take a look at what he does, he could also very well be a member of the satanist organization, as those are people who only uses the image of their “deity” and they don’t really believe themselves their “deity” exist, but it’s to only advance their own personal agenda. I still decided to share this article because I believe people have the right to know the truth of these “coincidences’” and decide for themselves if they want to keep following this person, or not.

Now if you ask me, did everyone that voted for Trump in 2016 (including me that would’ve voted for him), are we wrong to have done that? My only answer to that is that it is only wrong if he wins again, because that would mean that enough people are actually selfish enough to risk destroying the global society we have build during these centuries together all for the interests of a relatively small group of people. Having truth in politics before Trump was not something highly valued by politicians, and this counts for democratic political families like the Clintons’, as well as republican political dynasties such as the Bushes’. This created the seeds for a character as Trump to take power, as something needed to happen to shake people up, so that today we can have an experienced presidential candidate like Biden, who I saw become an even more thoughtful person who values both the worth of his words and actions, and who is ready to tackle the global problems we’re facing united, not as a leader of the US acting as a tyrannical bully and unreliable partner.

The bible alludes to what can happen if the antichrist gets his ways, but it doesn’t concretely say that the antichrist will be successful in destroying the planet. God has only warned us of the possibility that as a collective we will let someone like Trump become powerful. The reason why I believe that the bible doesn’t clearly say what happens when (one of) the embodiment of the antichrist comes to power, is because what happens next is really in our hands. For the coming week what happens is in the hands of the citizens of the United States, but even if 45 succeeds to keep his power, thanks to the work of Benjamin we have been warned and it will be up to everyone with a clear conscious and love for our planet to don’t play his games anymore. The reality is that he might stay as the President, but he doesn’t need to dictate our agenda’s anymore. If Trump remains in power the rest of the world will need to accept that they cannot trust the eventual deals made with this man and that we need to work on saving the planet without the help of the United Stated of America.

As already stated in the first tweet shown here above, I find the 2 newest formulas self explanatory, but for every individual it has a different meaning, as for example “You & Life-Formula©” goes against most of the main religious dogmas. For that I say that if you look at the older teachings of where the modern religious dogmas are based on, you will see that the “You & Life-Formula©” fits perfectly within their own framework of what life means to us and the possibilities that lies within our own hands.

With this blog I want to give my own opinion about how I interpret these formulas. The disclaimer for this blog is that if you read that first tweet well, I need to tell you that I didn’t succeed in writing a concise blog, as the subject matter just doesn’t permit it. Or you can say that I am not skilled enough in writing to explain my point of view concisely (something I sometimes also get as feedback from people), to this I can only say: live and learn!

To start, I say (because I know and so I believe and I can argue) that the “You and Life-Formula©” shows that for most of the “modern” religious dogmas, from jewish, christian to the moslim religion, it benefits the institutions to convince people of the existence of an omnipresent & omnipotent God that is everywhere with the exception of being present in our own bodies & minds. I also argue that even scientifically speaking it has already been proven that without our general apprehension of “God” there literally cannot be life as we know it in the universe and scientifically speaking, our closest physical way to “touch or see” the tiniest (known/identified) individual physical part of “God” is through catching or identifying “neutrinos”. You can read for example this interesting Wikipedia article about (anti)neutrinos if you didn’t know about these particles yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino.

What I am saying here is that people who say or believe that they cannot “see” or ‘“feel” or “hear” or “taste” God are only rejecting a truth of life which is that we are governed by universal / biological / natural laws that we cannot break even if we wanted to. A small example is if you try to hold your breath in to kill yourself, because your own body (if your DNA doesn’t carry an exception!) is hardwired to keep your bodily functions go for as long as possible. So if it (your own brain) needs to shut down the conscious part of your brain to make you stop yourself from wanting to stop your breathing, our body is literally hardwired to do just that, “reset” our conscious brain. I believe the fact that the exceptions in our DNA’s already perfectly fits the notion that something that was perfect for its being replicated itself, and from that we know that in following replications faulty DNA strings can appear. I am talking here about DNA but this replication can also be seen from the very beginning of what we now call the big bang. As for example, this life in the universe for us all as we know it, there must be one sun that can hold itself the longest and in theory that must be the first sun (which would also be the biggest and possibly the one which all black holes are connected someway to) and we know that that sun isn’t ours, but we don’t yet know which one is the first sun in the universe.

The latter example is my hypothesis, and the thing I ask myself here is that, even if this is true (as I believe it is), just as we humans have either a positive or negative effect on the planet as a whole, both geographically and “organically” speaking, are there things that “organisms” in the universe can do to even go (negatively or positively) alter the energy of their/the sun(s), like we humans are currently negatively altering the energy of our earth by being collectively too greedy, damaging and destroying the natural world in such an unprecedented way? At least the middle part about the universe of the latter question is for now a (quantum) physics, philosophical, spiritual or for some people even a science fiction question (depending on how you look at the question), as these types of knowledges of the facts of life we collectively haven’t discovered yet, but when you are talking about us humans, I believe that God is telling us that we must always remember that good or faulty DNA’s, we all must remember we come from that perfect “life string” that connects us (humans and other atoms/molecules/organisms) together. From DNA to even the creation of religious institutions for humans, those are literally mechanisms designed by “Life” to keep itself from auto destructing itself. That is the reason why I think that there are literally pieces lying everywhere around our planet and our universe containing information that gives us an even better understanding of how these universal laws came to be, because of the interconnectedness of life. We are babies in the universe and we believe that we already are masters of the universe even though we cannot even control our own planet.

Before I continue with my explanation of what my own views are in regards to the formulas (and “Life”), let me explain here what I mean with this part: “I also argue that even scientifically speaking it has already been proven that without our general apprehension of “God” there literally cannot be life as we know it in the universe”. With “proven”, I say that science has already proven the existence of God by already identifying things that makes, most of us at least, our heads explode. An example of this I’ve already given with “neutrinos”, but another example that can be given is that we now know of the existence of “black holes”, but we for example still don’t know where they go. So my “laymans” explanation of this physical part of God is that it’s God’s literal asshole, where once you go in you will never get out (or can we?). I believe He also warns us for example in the bible to be careful with assholes, both the literal kind, but also the “figurative” and the “physical” kind. Now this part in this paragraph, there is no scientific consensus (for so far I know) about this, but I believe that in all religions they misrepresented “gay” people and misunderstood (and are wrongly teaching) God’s warning about the “literal”, “figurative” and “physical” assholes in life. I believe that the teachings of God about the asshole is that, with the literal kind, He even put both a pleasure and warning “button” in the asshole of “man” to tell “men” that “some/most?” of us (humans) will go start loving to shove things in there and even start to go so far to start cleaning our insides out (weekly/monthly?) with water (because we can) and this will mess with our (godly) body and will eventually lead for our bodies to become sick and/or die sooner than needed. I believe that the reason God put the warning button (the prostate) into “man” too and the reason why “woman” don’t have it, is that they already do something that He Himself, when He decides to start walking around our planet, has already told us that He prefers not to go through with. If anyone needs explanation about the warning of the “figurative” asshole, check behind your mirror! About the physical assholes in life, I believe thus that God is talking here about black holes, and I believe that there are answers to gaining on for example traveling beyond the speed of light by figuring out “black holes”.

As a personal FYI: I also believe that stars/our sun is God’s heart and to add on Timothy Leary who wrote “Your brain is God”, I believe that our brain is God the same way that a piece of rock is also God, and that the actual “brain power” of God lies within all of us and the only way for us humans to optimally utilize it is by working together on things that makes us and this planet become (even) better. Here is where I think that unfortunately most of the time people choose to work on only (their/other people‘s) “ego’s” and the collective “be damned”. One of the risks I believe exists in believing that “your brain is God” the same way that Timothy Leary believes it, is that as an individual you become a “negative-egotistical” being, and as such, how your actions affect other people doesn’t concern you as much, if any, when those actions lead to your gratification, even when for that one or more people need to suffer (or die) for that personal gratification. As a personal note on this, I believe that we as a collective will take great leaps forward when individuals consciously decide to actively live a life as a “positive-egoist” (if such behavioral traits is not naturally present in someone). More information on what I consider a positive egoist to be can be found in a previous blog I wrote: https://www.tcpaconsultancy.com/blog/positive-egoism-vs-negative-egoism-or-plain-egoism-or-no-egoism.

To continue with my explanation, practically speaking, we humans, are nothing in the universe and in essence we can become everything back again with the universe. For full disclosure, this paragraph is another unpaid advertisement for a book, I think whatever your work is that you’re doing, you really should check the book out from Katie Patrick called “How to save the world; how to make changing the world the greatest game we’ve ever played” (it can be found on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-save-the-world-a-book-design-manual/x/23581051#). I was following Katie on Twitter before, but only this year that her book got into my attention, and the work that she did and is sharing with us in that book is to give us all tools to make our journey on this planet better for everyone, not only humans, but flora and fauna too! People that believe that God rested after the bible got finished do not understand that as individuals we are bound by an energy that transcends species and that holds us all together. Every abled person needs to actively choose to become and act as participants on the journey we all are in of safekeeping this planet or stay on the sidelines as carbon matter that one day will be recycled. We have everything in our power if we combine strengths to even live with +50 billion humans on this planet if we wanted to and we are currently collectively knowingly destroying it with not even 8 billion humans.

Especially if you believe in God you must know then that this is the planet that needs to exist for eternity, as this is the planet that our Father Himself will come down to live in our physical world. If you then believe that our Father wants to come down to live here AFTER a devastation because we destroyed everything here, you are deeply disturbed, because ask yourself, what is the point of that? Once you can accept that our Father wants to live in the same peaceful earth that you (maybe deep down inside) desires too, you will recognize that to reach that we need to do it ourselves and that it is utterly selfish to expect our Father to come clean His house with fire because we together with our brothers and sisters are destroying the planet. Now scientifically speaking we already know that our Father already told us that we as humans don’t have eternity to live on this planet, as one day our sun will run out of energy. For us in present times the warning of the sun dying is meaningless, but the warning that we ourselves can kill all life on earth is something we need to take seriously, because we are already late in taking actions to mitigate harsh consequences of climate change. If you open your eyes and see what is happening all over our world, you must realize that we are living in times where only drastic measures will help mitigate the harsh consequences that will result of the climate change we ourselves are helping to accelerate.

Because religions want control over God they have put Him/Her/They/It at a distance of our very own selves for their own gain. This made the whole concept of God for people become either taboo or meaningless, even though you and I are connected to each other in ways that words cannot describe. When there is trust, there is also no need for words. This is something I believe is also a teaching of God and why for example “thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain” became one of the 10 commandments. Once you understand that the power of God is already in you and everyone else, you will see that nobody can hold God as their possession. Going to church must be about sharing life together, not about someone holding God’s voice hostage every time people visit His house, while asking (read: passive aggressively demanding) for money too for doing that “service”, while it is not uncommon that people in congregations have for example these “fights” for who can sit closer to “the speaker in God’s house”.

I am not against the concept of religion because it is the concept of sharing the universal truth that started even before we had books. Only that history shows us that attempting to “privatize” this truth corrupts people and institutions and is also the reason why we have different religious institutions now telling only parts of one single universal truth. I mean this literally and will try to explain this in a simple way...

After the Jewish people became the ones to become the “chosen people” here on earth, when you take a “bird’s eye view” of this history, you can see the effect this had on the global civilization. I believe that even God’s choice of appointing the Jewish people as the “chosen ones” is a teaching that we collectively already should’ve figured out that in our Father’s eyes we are all the same and when we don’t see this we can do atrocious things to each other. The second teaching I see from having the Jewish people being the “chosen ones” is that feeling special makes you also go do atrocious things just so that you can keep that title. Love for titles can even surpass the love for the one who gave it.

In our collective history comes God through a brother-from-another mother Moses to tell us that we don’t need to enslave ourselves (look how well we listened there!!*sarcasm*), then comes our brother Jesus to tell us that we should end both the favoritism and exclusion of people and we should be careful with our love of churches and capitalism (look how well we are listening here about these too!!*sarcasm*). So Jesus got killed for spreading this message back then and afterwards people go create a throne in his name that in essence (eventually?) goes in some ways against what Jesus himself says we need in our lives and this organization in his name becomes a major force. The only way I can explain the movement that our brother-from-another mother Muhammad created is that you can see that one day he realizes that what this new organization is doing and what Jesus was preaching does not add up, so he goes back to interpret the older teachings of our Father and because of his distrust of the new rising christian organization, positions his own views of our Father’s words in almost an opposite direction of what this new rising christian organization is preaching. So this is how we ended up with three religions believing in the same God, but adhering to different rules and why two of them are still waiting for “our savior”. As a full disclosure here too on my personal opinion about these religious organizations: if you take a look at the catholic organization from during the times of Muhammad and the catholic organization now, I believe you too will see that if they started then like now, a movement that became a religion like Muhammad was teaching would have never gotten this influential in the world and the reason that the moslim religion got so big was because how the catholic organization was behaving then. I am not saying here that the whole moslim religion is fundamentally wrong, as it is (just) another way of life one can choose to honor our Father and I know that just like “Christianity” there are various ways of how the moslim religion is practiced, but the strong division between men and women taught I believe only creates unnecessary tension and distrust between men vs women, but also between men vs men and women vs women.

Now comes the difficult part, if you ask me: don’t I believe that “our savior” will come, or like I’ve mentioned before, our Father will come down to live here on earth Himself? My answer to that is, if you truly understand the “You & Life-Formula©” you will understand that I already believe “our savior” and our Father Himself is already living on earth in each and everyone of us, humans/animals, plants and even in rocks. What I believe is that our Father has already warned us, in many forms, that we can destroy ourselves and take the planet with us in our demise when we loose track of our (natural) self. I believe that our metaphysical state is immortal and we are all connected to each other here in the universe. I also believe that He/She/They/It is telling us that the physical state that we are currently experiencing ourselves in was once also immortal and will once again become immortal, only when we overcome our self destructive tendencies that also exists within us. So we can become masters of the universe, only when we become masters of ourselves first. So what that practically means for when, how and/or in what form our Father will appear and identify Himself/Herself/Themselves/Itselves to us in a physical human body that is eternal (and can consciously do unimaginable things with our space-time continuum), I believe is a matter for when we ourselves are ready for it and also a matter that is in our own collective hands to reach to that point. Here is the thing, maybe through working together we will find out how to get to a world where humanity starts having people with bodies who become eternal and who later are born knowing that they won’t ever die (as long as our sun is still shining). If it is possible, that knowledge lies already in us and definitely “out in the universe”. The only thing is that, I believe that God also already told us that going after answers to those questions is futile if we are still treating each other as enemies of each other, instead of the brothers and sisters that we collectively are. If anything can be taken out from the “You and Life-Formula©” is that even though everything is in our own hands, life needs to be shared with all of us who form our own individual “you” and who are all parts of God, or else we cannot have life as we now it, and more importantly, when we go against this universal truth we loose our (collective) time.

(Please keep reading after the picture below!)

Before publishing this blog I tweeted (link down below) about an experience I had with “Jesus” at a festival in Germany and that I was adding this picture of the (working)titles of the 10 books I am working on to go publish. This is if all things go according to plan, because I have no set deadlines with these books, as my priority are to start the next social-capitalistic venture I designed to go introduce new products and services that contribute in helping to make both people and planet much better. So only God knows how many books I will get to publish and so for me personally with the books I just now need to take a gamble that I will finish all books before I die.

I have (still while writing this) mixed feelings of making this list public, because these are working (sub)titles with the concepts of their main subject matters, and it is also still possible that I will merge some books. Most importantly, some of the books I yet cannot finish because I still feel like I’m missing some life experience in certain ways to be able to properly discuss them like I want to in the books. So will making this list public now going to make finishing these experiences more difficult (or maybe now easier?), something I guess I’ll find out later on.

I’m making them now public to show you, that I know that I still don’t have all the answers, by the time I finish off these books I won’t either, but since young I was very curious about life, only I was exploring it mostly by myself. Since I started with T.C.P.A. Consultancy I decided to share my journey with not only more people in my (inner)circle, but just from all over the world. Now I guess, showing you this also puts an added pressure on me now to check these off from my list before it’s too late! In all seriousness, I’m at the time of writing 34 and I am not going to wait until I’m old enough to go with pension (even though I am not planning on going with pension) to start publishing these books, but I also cannot say that in the coming three decades I will have all books published either because of obligations I already made to go do with the Tiiendemanns Group. In any case, if something does unexpectedly happen to me and I die younger than I expect now myself, depending on when that is, at least some chapters of the different books can be bundled, or something. So yeah, success for me is seeing both the Tiiendemanns Group become the global social-capitalistic organization I envision it can become and have these books finished with feeling that they are indeed complete, and not with a rushed feeling.

Edit 1. - June 13th, 2021: as I cannot add pictures in the comments, I’m adding these 2 screenshots of tweets I made some time ago that further explains my views of God and our own relation to God

When I started writing this bIog I was standing figuratively speaking on the crossroads of a very big decision that I needed to take that could have massive direct and indirect short term and long term consequences not only for individuals but also for the fate of the company I officially started with the (market) research and conceptualization of it somewhere in the beginning of 2015 and the official bootstrapped pre-revenue/pre-seed founding round in november 2017.

I am finishing the text today for what I wanted to say then, and here is the thing though, something that I really dislike the most about the work I need to do to build a new company, much of “our internal” struggles I cannot just disclose just like that in a blog, Tweet, Okuna post, Entnest say, LinkedIn article, etc, as things are going on because it can drastically influence the outcome of what at that moment needs resolving. When I started the blog then it was almost midnight and there wasn’t any chance I was going to sleep early that day seeing that at midnight the big decision was being concluded. And with decisions like this, when I started writing this blog I don’t have anyone that I can call to talk about this (personal/business(sensitive problem) now. Don’t understand me incorrectly here, if I’m “in deep shit” there is always someone I could call anytime of the day/night to ask for help, so don’t worry that this is something like that! With this problem I could also discuss this with the advisors that are helping me start the company, but at the time I was writing the blog for the first time they were either asleep or they were not asleep but the subject matter is not their area of expertise.

This last paragraph I started writing too, together with what I later on LinkedIn in a post called the Life-Formula©. I was writing this draft of the blog with the intention of saving it for a later date as I was personally expecting another outcome of what happened at midnight. So I started writing this blog as a draft and this following list I wasn’t then sure if I would add everything when publicized because the subject matters I wanted to leave for another blog. So I’m just going to mention now and if someone wants me to write a blog (faster) about a particular subject matter leave a comment under the blog. In any case, for me doing yoga, stretches and exercises helps, using pure cannabis (it’s “legally tolerated” to cultivate your own plants here in the Netherlands, but I live in the same house with my mom and she doesn’t want a plant in her garden, so her house her rules as long as they don’t interfere in my own personal life), “writing it out”, doing the dishes, cooking, taking cold showers and gardening are all things that helps me to put things in perspective when dealing with problems like I was going through when I started writing this blog for the first time.

Here is the challenge I am facing now for finishing the blog. When I started writing this I wasn’t planning on publishing this blog or the “Life-Formula©) in a LinkedIn post. Circumstances made things differently. The personal reason I started writing this blog with this then still unnamed formula as the subject in mind, was because with the particular person I was having business problems with, I experienced something with somebody in a way that I never experienced in my life since having started using the 5P-Formula©. This particular experience made me realize that I need to go tweak the “patience part” in the molecule. Because in this instance, my respect and love for the Tiiendemanns Group coupled with my perseverance to see the start of the 1001 Year Plan materialize is something that coupled with only the “patience part as is” kept me from taking the decision to come with a clear parting point (much) sooner that shows if there is commitment from both sides to see if we can work together or not, even though we both believe in the projects and want to see them succeed. There is also the legal reason that made me come up with what is now called the “Life-Formula©, because if I needed to go defend the 5P-Formula© in a courtroom I wanted to at least have something to show the judge what I believe the base of what the 5P-Formula© and the Peace and Prosperity-Equation© is formed on. Because eventually the 5P-Formula© is created to make the Peace and Prosperity-Equation© more “graspable” and ultimately both formulas say something about “life” and the life I believe we all need to be pursuing to reach our true collective potential to make this planet a much better place to live on for everyone; people, flora and fauna. Only that, what then “life” is or means to me, that I couldn’t put in words, until now.

What I mean with “tweak” the “patience part” in the molecule is that “patience” like “perseverance” is not defined in what all constitutes having optimal “patience”. With “perseverance” (in business or (personal) life) you need a balance in “passion” and “ponderance”. Without passion and ponderance there is no perseverance (-1 + 1 = 0). So “patience” in theory could also be defined in what all constitutes having optimal “patience”. Only that, this particular piece of the molecule is what I learned is still definitely needed to be included in the molecule for it to be (more/fully?) complete. What this means for the 5P-Formula© as is, is that by adhering to the “patience part” too strictly one can actually start deviating from ones own pathway through prolongation of an unnecessary and internally negative flow of process, but that the closed safety mechanisms of the principles do create that adherence to the principles cannot cause (full) breakage with ones own pathway.

What I also experienced firsthand now is that “modern sales techniques” is not only actually (already then) outdated (because they do not fit in an open and transparant global society), but most importantly and personally for me, those communications with people is not part of the culture I envision(ed) for our company. In the hiring process for all new team members this will be a main focus point, because from a business standpunt creating injustice for itself creates the absolute (future) costs of retribution for the negative energy being taken from the whole. To explain this simply: chemical factory treats it workers terribly and doesn’t give them safety clothing just to save money. Long term this inevitably will lead to “science/medicine” discovering the “ground zero” for particular commonalities in deceases from (ex) workers that gives a judge proof to condemn the company with hefty fines (or closure of the factory). This is not even taking the psychological effect that knowingly doing this to others has on a person that will also later on in life lead to a halt of that energy theft that could have gone into creating something positive.

So if you ask me, what is life? I would have need to give you this formula that I now call “Life-Formula©”;

Truth = Time
Justice = Truth
Time = God

If you ask me what does this have to do with you personally and/or how do you stand in all of this? Then I also came up with the “You & Life-Formula©”;

Time = Life
Life = You
God = Time

The fear of change is something many politicians have used for centuries to their advantage, because that is the easiest way to influence the mass... Insert fear into peoples lives and you have their attention. Especially so when you are the only one that can and will save them... Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.. Any slogan or creed where the “we” is only meant for the national citizens/interests is doomed to fail the test of time.

Since I’ve understood that Obama just did this but in practice was behaving quite conservatively and protective of the status quo of the US national interests that is keeping the growing global problem of wealth- and income inequality in place, my trust in politics being the arena where I myself need to grow in cracked, and thus made me become a social capitalistic omnipreneur after finishing my studies. Building for-profit organizations that only need to protect shareholders interests is one of the most ludicrous human policies we’ve created here on this planet. All organizations make money because they need other humans and the resources our planet gives us to use to being able to make a sale in whatever. Even to do a service you need resources of our planet to fulfill your contractual duties. Making all organizations take this fact into consideration in every decision making is where you need to start if you want to save our planet.

We simply cannot close (all) oil companies because we realistically/practically still need them, but we can make them start working for and with our planet and for us, the collective, instead of only for their shareholders. For any young people living anywhere in the world, let your voices be heard in every election! If you’re for example a teenager that really want to vote and can’t vote because the law forbids you to, know that this is only a legal age discrimination put in place by “adults” and you shouldn’t accept this! You may not vote now, but no law can prohibit you of contacting the ones that are representing you in your councils/parliaments! Write them, call them, go pay them unannounced visits and (respectfully and peacefully) demand them to fight for you so that you and every other teenager that wants to go vote can do this in the next and every other election!

When I talk about Obama now it mostly isn’t that positive, because I feel that I need to be critical of him. If I ever meet him in person, I couldn’t be all ass kissing with him, because I really can’t be like that with him, or anyone in particular, when I first have things to clear that I feel about them. I respect the person that he is, I even absolutely love him, but from what I know about him and still see him talk/give speeches, I still see the arrogance and self indulgence, with no ownership of his failings, coming out of his mouth, so with someone like that I just can’t go be feeding the ego to get it any more bigger. The thing with Obama is that he seem to show that he has an inner compass that he adheres to. If you compare that with Trump, he publicly tells people that he doesn’t believe in moral compasses, as the only thing he believes in is his personal win at all cost. For centuries people have become so ego driven that they get blinded on the fact that nobody wins at all costs and never will. That is a fundamental universal truth that manifests itself in everything. That is why I keep saying that the only person in the coming US election that I say can put Trump in check by showing his lack of moral compass in debates on national television is Bernie Sanders*.

The younger generation is growing up with access to knowledge and a hunger to consume this knowledge on a level not yet seen/experienced on earth. It is time for the older generation to start realizing this and combine the worldly experience that only time can give them/us to create a much stronger collective global team here on this planet. Pointing fingers, throwing blame around doesn’t help anyone, and more importantly doesn’t help our planet, it only polarizes societies in a time where we should be uniting.

I also believe that someone like Trump can still change. I’ve got convinced of this when I saw the Netflix film of an artistic recreation of why Pope Benedictus, 16th decided to “renounce his throne”, called “the two popes” (unpaid advertising, because the film is really good!). Only, for someone with the ego of Trump, only a big collective signal and a resounding “no” to his way of life and thinking can maybe stand still and face the fact that we as sisters and brothers of this planet don’t need to be afraid of each other. We will only win as a collective when we start helping each other, not only “our friends and families”.

#GoVote, always.

✌🏽❤️💪✨

*Edit on 31-05-2020: Seeing the current protests in the US and that Bernie Sanders has given Joe Biden a free pathway towards being the one beating Donald Trump in the US election coming November, I feel obliged to edit this blogposts with my most current thoughts on what I’ve said here. Today I still believe that Bernie Sanders is presently the only politician in the US that can stand firmly in a debate and after the first debate it must be clear to the doubters, between Sanders and Trump who needs to win. My fear still today, after seeing how Biden is only riding the social media popularity wave with hollow “Obama-words” to condemn the obvious mess of the coronavirus situation that Trump made (both in the US and in some other parts in the world where other world leaders believed Trump’s words against for example the WHO or other world leaders that did take the threat of the virus much more serious), with not mentioning any fundamental changes he would bring to a healthcare system that enslaves people to predatory debt, not enough US citizens will be motivated to go rain, snow or sunshine to go vote for him, like the US citizens that really want to see a 2nd (and more) “Trump-dynasty” Presidency.

Even with Obamacare in place without the GOP interventions you can see how the insurance companies could still find loopholes to not having to pay out for coronavirus related illnesses or even death by just not acknowledging the coronavirus. It is ludicrous to say that only Trump wants to test as few people as possible, because how the US health care system is now set up the insurance companies have also a lot to gain with the status quo by not recognizing a lot of the coronavirus related illnesses or deaths. When you add up now all the people that lost their jobs (that come with their “good” healthcare insurances) and a pandemic going on with a government pushing for economic growth against human health, one can only hope that Biden dares to take bold policies going forward and really starts embracing policies that shifts power (money) back to the people and not only to the special few in power. I believe that in the US the Presidential debates significantly define the outcome, and I also believe that both Trump and Biden knows this so they both would be perfectly fine to do only one or two (or none at all*), and afterwards just take the results of the “toss up”, which will be the case if (again) from the debate(s) no clear winner can be elected. So it is to be seen what these current leaders of the free world will decide to go do, and if afterwards I can go sleep November 3rd with a good feeling that the US citizens will show the world that they are a society that can vote to show that respect (and love) for others trumps fear (and hate) for others.

*Edit for an FYI on 19-06-20: I learned today that there is a Commission on Presidential debates in the US that sets the dates, times and places of the debates together with the candidates and it seems that before writing previous edit, both Biden and Trump already agreed on doing 3 debates. From this article (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-campaign-team-seeks-fourth-debate-with-biden-2020-06-18) it seems indeed that in December even no debates was put on the table, but eventually the candidates settled on 3 already, so you see, sometimes people can positively surprise you!

I still feel like I am very young, but as I’m already in my 30’s I can also say that “when I was younger” I lived my life caring too much about what others think of me and how “they” would judge me. Anno now I still have these concerns, but they don’t control my thoughts and/or actions anymore, they only serve me as a tool, as a guidance on how to go about in life with the people I meet.

Yes, I am conscious of the fact that my own impressions and/or judgement of someone else’s actions can be biased and/or misjudged. In an open society these “interpersonal miscommunications” wouldn’t lead to grave outcomes and/or aggressions, as one would always need to be respectful of another persons life. The problem in our current (global) society is that there is still a too big of a group of people that value another human beings life based by the colour of their skin, by the colour of their eyes, by the natural colour of their hairs, by if they share the same beliefs, or not, or the other baseless characteristics people choose to focus on to judge someones worth here on earth.

I believe that Elijah Cummings, who just passed away fighting till his last breath for equality to all the people in his country, was someone who adhered to his own principle of having respect for another persons life. He understood that for everyone to reach that mountain of glory that Martin Luther King jr dreamed of, we need to give every single human being the room to be themselves and create a (global) society where individuals respect the boundaries of other people’s freedom, where no one is above the law nor anyone else, no matter position and job title and everyone has the same liberty to pursuit their goals, dreams and aspirations.

When I started T.C.P.A. Guidance Center. I knew then, like I know now that I am not a perfect human being, but I took the conscious decision to strive everyday to better myself so that I can achieve my life goal of contributing in being able to leave this beautiful planet we’re currently destroying in a much better state than when I was born. For me the Peace and Prosperity-Equation© was “the thing” that I could hold to and I later on created the 5P-Formula© as the practical tool to guide me in the decisions I make. The reason why I am currently not monetizing the 5P-Formula© is because when I “build it” I didn’t design it with the intention of selling it to other organizations, but just a way for me to use to help/guide/consult with (other) organizations. So I don’t have the proper materials to teach/train organizations on how to use it, and most importantly, I don’t have the proper measuring tools needed to keep validating if organizations are adhering to the formula.

For you to understand me as a person, my focus is not to go do this as it’s very hard to train people. People/organizations need to consciously take the decision to adhere to all principles unconditionally. The problem here is that most people say that they want and/or are adhering to at least a few of these principles, but their actions speak a different language and most of the time because of cognitive dissonance reduction internal mechanisms its very hard to even make someone realize this fact. I am confident that in time I will get the chance to work on this problem and build the tools needed, but for now my focus is building the Tiiendemanns Group, which will be the first company in the world that will put the 5P-Formula© as its guiding business code of conduct in its founding statutes.

I am telling you this because I also know that the information I have now on the website (www.tcpa5pmanagementconsultancy.com) that talks about the 5P-Formula© is incomplete and/or not thoroughly / extensively explained. To honor the work of Elijah Cummings I want to take time here to explain to you 3 fundamental things about the principles in the formula;

1. The easiest way to reach the behavioral outcome of (working towards) being your best self possible and for you to start loving yourself the same way you love others, is to start working with the principles from the bottom up.
2. The easiest way to understand the meaning of “Honesty” is to learn about “the 4 Agreements” by Don Miguel Ruiz ( you can find more info on them here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Agreements?wprov=sfti1 or you can always buy his (e)books).
A personal note: Since I’ve found the words of Don Miguel Ruiz that so perfectly describes how I myself see what it means to be a honest person, I’ve felt the relief of not needing to go find the right words to explain this myself. As there are no coincidences only life’s beautiful/interesting/surprising intersections, my mother’s maiden name is Ruiz.
3. The easiest way to understand the meaning of “Respect” and how to engrain respectful behavioral outcomes in your system is to adhere to the (sub)principles also shown in the picture, which are;

Gratitude always instead of Greed
Humbleness above Gratefulness
Honesty above Humbleness

Just like the main 11 principles, these principles you cannot take apart, as they work together to create the behavioral outcome of being respectful towards others.

As a personal note on this last point: as you can see in the picture, I’ve come up with these subprinciples only beginning of this year, as I was also struggling to explain the concept of how I understood “Respect”. When I’ve came up with these, I’ve felt an immense relief and feeling of having finished the 5P-Formula©. The feeling didn’t last long because soon thereafter I realized that I still cannot concisely explain the effect of it in ones life/organization so that most people can understand it in a few words, and the aforementioned tools are still needed. So even though the 5P-Formula© is essentially finished, tested and is found to work perfectly, I am nowhere done with this project.

To end with these words of Elijah Cummings: “When we’re dancing with the angels, the question will be asked, in 2019, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact? Did we stand on the sidelines and say nothing?”

As Elijah was called to go dance with angels, we can attest today that he wasn’t someone that stood on the sidelines and said nothing. Coming from the hateful (societal) environment he was brought up in, it is highly commendable the way he as a person carried himself and the energy he put into the betterment of others. In this quote he was referring to democracy, but what he said applies of course to all the collective problems we are currently facing in the world. We don’t owe it to him, we owe it to ourselves to always speak up. We must always remember that we may be wrong about the thing we say, but we are 100% wrong when we say nothing when we know or feel that something is wrong.
