Bamboo Grove: The Seven Sages of Ancient China

Bamboo Grove: The Seven Sages of Ancient China and Anonymous Voices of Today

By Roland Nansink


In an ancient kingdom, a fearful servant slips into a quiet bamboo forest and shouts a forbidden secret: “The king has donkey’s ears!” charactermedia.com. According to a Korean folktale recorded in the 13th century Samguk Yusa chronicles, the servant’s words were carried by the wind through the rustling bamboo, repeating the scandalous truth that no one dared speak aloud charactermedia.com. The bamboo grove became an unwitting confessional – a place where truth could be voiced without pointing a finger at the speaker. Centuries later, in the digital age, “Bamboo Grove” (대나무숲) lives on as a metaphor for anonymous forums and confession boards where people spill secrets or vent frustrations under the comforting cover of anonymity more …..

Child Entrepreneurs & AI

The Rise of Professional Nobodies: Child Entrepreneurs & AI - By Roland Nansink


Imagine a world where success is redefined not by titles or pedigree, but by creativity and problem-solving. This is the era of the “professional nobody” – individuals without traditional status or formal credentials who leverage new tools to carve their own pathsprofessionalnobodies.net. In this emerging paradigm, children and teens are already rewriting the rules. Unburdened by legacy thinking, they use AI and accessible technology to innovate from their bedrooms, often outpacing seasoned adult entrepreneurs. As one manifesto notes, “a wave of democratising tools and platforms is empowering ‘professional nobodies’…to harness AI for crafting inspiring and independent lifestyles”professionalnobodies.net. This shift challenges our notions of success: mastery, not major, becomes the new currency of influence. More …..

Taiki Kanso – the legacy of zen


Kanso is one of the eight zen concepts alongside fukinsei (asymmetry), seijaku (silence), shizen (naturalness), koko (austerity), datsuzoku (freedom from worldly attachments),yugen (subtle profundity),danshari(decluttering)andwabi-sabi(beauty in imperfection) and modern forest bathing shinrin yoku.

Taiki Kanso is Natural Tuning is a contemporary form of Shizen Chousei, letting nature do the job. Ki, Kiko.

Ki, kiko, is to achieve equilibrium within so that it can be achieved without and brings about harmony and serenity - a state of enlightenment. To master ki is to master kiko and reach the level of "furen shuten," where our bodies and mind become symbiotic with ki to the highest level possible in life. This is the point in which a master of kiko, ki and marital arts controls ki instinctually and naturally.

It should be stated that kiko is an effort to reestablish our human condition where the qualities, perceptions, sensitivities and other mental/physical faculties are returned from being lost due to the course of civilization's development in the industrial and now internet ages. It is a method by which kiko gives us access to the primitive instincts/qualities that we need in survival and interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Read more…..

Japanese know an art form and philosophy of life called Kintsugi: the art of precious scars.

The Art of Precious Scars – Kintsugi


Japanese know an art form and philosophy of life called Kintsugi: the art of precious scars. By repairing broken ceramics with precious metals, it’s possible to give it a new lease of life and it becomes even more refined, thanks to its “scars”.Kintsugi teaches that broken objects are not something to hide but to display with pride.This philosophy creates the question, how alike we are to this as humans with all of our scars, mistakes, lessons and wisdom we learn in this thing called life.How often, we as humans do hide the scars that make us who we are today? I have always believed that where we are right now, personally and professionally, is a result of all the choices, lessons and mistakes we’ve learnt and made along the way. Our scars make us stronger and more beautiful and why not display these “gifts” in the same way kintsugi displays the art of precious scars. Read more about Kintsugi…..

6 Ways to Break the Hypnotic Spell of the Mainstream Media

Here’s six steps to filter out media noise, break the hypnosis of the mainstream media, and get to the information that truly matters.

We used to pay people to filter information for us: these were called professional journalists, writers and artists, whose job it was to dive into the sea of information and come back up with pearls for us.
