Ayaan Hirsi Ali, No Cognitive Dissonance (Wallpaper)
One more wallpaper I created: The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. it is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more. Ayaan Hirsi Ali I already have a few more others on...
Read MoreCarl Sagan, Exquisite World (Wallpaper)
Using the same quote from a previous Carl Sagan image, I made this wallpaper. Also 2880 x 1800 pixels. The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there’s little good evidence.

And later on, I was happy to have done it. Now, I’m pissed that I let them talk me into it. I somewhat, sort of, some days...
Read MoreBloody Diamonds and Engagement Rings
When I got married, I wanted matching bands. I also wanted something light and comfortable because I hate wearing rings. So I opted these very light black titanium and white gold wedding bands. The amount of jewelry we have is equal. No engagement rings and no diamonds. I do have a problem with wearing diamonds, though I do own a nice pair of earrings my father bought me. He knew my moral conflict with diamonds but chose to disregard it (or didn’t comprehend it). Though I...
