		<description><![CDATA[Life is unpredictable and much of human culture is in essence a means to deal with the unpredictable. We can not know whether the next harvest will fail, whether we still have a job next year or when we will die. Ancient systems, such as astrology and other forms of divination were developed to reduce [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A thought experiment was put to me recently:
Assume you have been charged with a crime. In court you are able to conclusively prove that free will does not exist and therefore you can not be held responsible for this act.
I was asked to reflect on this philosophically. Although this seems more to be a legal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It dawned me a little while ago that the human condition is one of ongoing tension between the way the world is (ontology) and the way our mind works (psychology).
The world is inherently unpredictable &#8211; even our best attempts to make it predictable ultimately fail. We have trouble predicting the weather more then a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my work as Business Improvement Manager I get exposed to a lot of theories of management. Many theories proclaim to provide final solutions to the complexity of managing contemporary corporations. Some theories are deceivingly simple, others are very complex, requiring specialist training.
One thing the theories have in common is that they come and go [...]]]></description>
