Welcome

My blog contains entries on Art, History, Archaeology, Politics, Philosophy, Amateur Radio and whatever takes my fancy that day.
You will find more real arguments than belief in my expressions.
I may not like your potential comments, but I will defend your right to say whatever you feel at any time - only: please stay clear if you feel I need to be saved religiously. I am not interested.

The Norwegian philosopher Peter Wessel Zappfe explained my philosophy like this (in my own slightly adapted translation):

But your aim, people ask, your meaning and goal?

I have no aim, there is no goal.

Our existence is meaningless as life itself,

and yet we stay enthralled forever.

But one day, when all the things

with aim and meaning and goal

have withered as autumn’s grass,

there will be columns of light in my memory,

forever shining and bright.

By those I will know,

when I stand at the final cairn:

I emptied the grail of an earth-day.
