-> Filosofie is voor het vinden van een baan misschien het minst bruikbaar van alle studies, maar het is niettemin de beste studie. <span>Aristoteles</span>
-
-De essentie van [Brain Baking](/) bevindt zich hier, het bakken van in eerste instantie **mijn** hersenen, met het reflectieve karakter van de filosofie als aroma. Ik schrijf voor mezelf, om mijzelf te helpen anderen te kunnen helpen. _Baked brains_ met een krokante korst zijn goed verteerbare verhoudingen tussen mijzelf en de wereld, geïnspireerd op de Groten als Kant (_Kritik der reinen Vernunft_), Wittgenstein (_tractatus logico-philosophicus_) en Montaigne (_Essais_). 
-
-Ik ontdekte lang geleden de stereotypische "positieve psychologie" boeken die mij aanzetten om te beginnen met [_journaling_](/post/journaling-in-practice/) en dus [_meta-denken_](/post/healing-creative-scars/). De essentie van deze psychologie bracht mij tot de "lifestyle filosofie" van onder andere [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/). Het was slechts een kwestie van tijd om mijn eigen Ockham's scheermes toe te passen en uit te komen op pure filosofie.

For years I've tried to convert my thinking into the widely-accepted Internet language (English), and I've concluded that this simply does not work. That's why the works below are all written in Dutch since 2018.

 There are hundreds of resources available on the Internet on how to journal, how to keep a bullet journal, how to index everything, how to getting things done and so forth. The following advice is something that _works for me_ - it might not work for you at all. Don't worry, simply try something else. Journaling should be kept **easy and fun**, otherwise you won't be doing it daily and you won't gain the same amount of satisfaction and things might not get done at all (if that is what you're after).

 "Let's try to keep silent for a minute and enjoy the complete absence of traffic noise!" I yelled to my friends. We were standing on a sandy hill in the middle of national park "Hoge Veluwe". One of our friends, a biologist, enticed us to help him identify animal tracks in the sand. I don't know anything about even-toed ungulates, but I know a bit about the joy of discovery. <br/>

 When was the last time you were able to focus well on a difficult task in an office landscape? For long periods of time? Did you manage to finish the task in time? Knowledge workers are increasingly pushed together in large open spaces to promote collaboration and serendipity. But those unplanned happy accidents create another completely unplanned rather unhappy accident: the loss of concentration. According to Cal Newport's "[Deep Work](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25744928-deep-work)" term, long uninterrupted hours of concentration manage to get difficult things done - not short bursts of collaboration. He calls those bursts "Shallow Work". Being able to concentrate well for a longer period of time is often needed to solve a complex problem. Problems like these are not uncommon in the software industry where I'm in. Deliberate practice and "flow" are related to Deep Work. The ability to concentrate for longer periods on time is becoming an increasingly rare skill.

 Filosofie kan gezien worden als een __poging__ om __dingen__ rondom de mensheid te definiëren. Ik noem het een __poging__, en geen manier, omdat we al duizenden jaren kritiek aan het geven zijn op elkaars definities. Ik noem het __dingen__, en niet zichtbare dingen, omdat juist ongrijpbare dingen ons zo sterk intrigeren dat we ook de nood voelen om daar een theoretische vorm aan te koppelen.

 Addendum: [7 highly successful software engineering cultures](https://techbeacon.com/lessons-7-highly-successful-software-engineering-cultures) is de moeite om in detail na te lezen, waarbij bedrijven zoals GitLab hun _"Team Handboek"_ open stellen. Het gaat véél verder dan enkel een cultuur: er staat in wanneer aandeelhouders samenkomen, hoe er omgegaan wordt met nieuwe kandidaten en hoe je je verlof dient in te plannen. **Transparantie** zò sterk door de aorta van het bedrijf laten stromen, is zeer bewonderenswaardig.

 Het resultaat van een onderzoek dat ik las in Frank Furedi's "Waar zijn de intellectuelen?" boezemt mij veel angst in: minder dan de helft van de samenleving wil tegenwoordig nog literatuur lezen. En dit gaat dan nog over literatuur! Ik ken veel mensen die met hun ogen draaien zodra ik nog maar het woord "boek" uitspreek, laat staan een conversatie over filosofie aan te gaan. Ik had er niet bij stilgestaan dat dit eenvoudig geëxtrapoleerd kan worden.

 In [Venteuil](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venteuil), een klein dorpje in de Champagne streek te Frankrijk dat vijfhonderd hele inwoners telt, ligt wijnmaker [Autréau-Lasnot](http://www.champagne-autreau-lasnot.com/prehome/). Er zijn honderden grote en kleine champagneboeren gevestigd in de streek - overal waar je kijkt zie je wijnstokken vergezeld met rozen en bijenkorven. Ik drink geen alcohol, maar dat is geen reden om een uitgebreid bezoek af te slaan: ik hou van alles wat met fermentatie te maken heeft. Het alcoholisch bijproduct is dan voor mij natuurlijk jammer: terwijl iedereen zich bezat aan de verschillende proeverijen kan ik vrolijk wat rondkijken.
