Dr. Biruté Galdikas, the last of the Trimates or Leaky's Angels died March 24th 2026.
One of the so-called Trimates, alongside Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall, Galdikas spent thousands of hours in the Tanjung Puting Reserve in Borneo conducting the first long-term study of orangutans.
For three years now we have been supportong one orangutan, our Agop baby (photo) through: www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk
Trimates legacy will live on.
Brillant work of Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld, most popular sitcom of all times).
Curb Your Enthusiasm. (HBO)
Highly recommend it, good laugh, a lot of wisdom.
I don't like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about a half an inch wide.
When you're not concerned with succeeding, you can work with complete freedom.I'm trying to elevate small-talk to medium talk. (just like I do all the time ;-) )
One of my favorite directors: Werner Herzog.
Not just because we were born on the same day but also because of his wonderful work and his opinion about psychiatrists and psychotherapists ;-)
I highly recommend his book Every Man for Himself and God Against All: A Memoir by Werner Herzog | Goodreads,
Don't miss to see the nihilist pinguin.
Herzog is true genius! :-)
“There is no perfection only life”, from The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
After more than 30 years I am reading Milan Kundera again.
I can recall many quote and I remembered how much I had enjoyed imagining living in Prague when I was reading his books as a teenager. At some point I even wanted to study at Prague Film School (which I visited back in 2004!).
Seems like as was an existentialist from an early age, just did not know it.
And another one from Kundera: "Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."
My Dad would always tell us: "Rejoyce!".
Simple from what Albert Camus advised: "There's nothing more rebellious than finding joy in something that's supposed to be our punishment".

Carlo Rovelli proposes a new “relational” interpretation of quantum mechanics, which goes so far as to suggest that there is no objective reality whatsoever, only perspectives on reality.
Between absolute certainty and ignorance there’s all this interesting space in which we live, he says.
"No entity has a proper independent existence — things only exist depending on one another."

"Our experience of time flowing forward is a product of the second law of thermodynamics — the tendency for physical systems to increase in disorder, or what we call entropy. But this only appears fundamental from our perspective. We happen to be beings that are connected to certain macroscopic variables with respect to which entropy is globally moving in one direction.
My intuition is that the overall flow of time really could be like the rotation of the sky every day. It’s a majestic, immense phenomenon, but it’s actually an illusion. This is a totally perspectival understanding of the second law of thermodynamics. It’s real in the same sense that the rotating sky is real, but it’s real only with respect to us."
If You still have not read his book "The Order of Time", I highly recommend it.
We must have a pie. Stress cannot exist in the presence of a pie.
