De EERSTE 'De Wereld Is Vierkant' | Met George van Houts, Ronald Meester, Jan Bonte en Sander Janson | DWIV #1
Vanavond LIVE om 19:00 🎥 🎬 📡

In de allereerste 'De Wereld Is Vierkant' blikken Steye en George, samen met hun gasten, op luchtige wijze terug op de afgelopen week. Hierin relativeren ze de absurditeit van de wereld. Satire, een vlotte late night-sfeer, inspirerende verhalen en actualiteiten. Afgewisseld met humor, maar zonder voorbij te gaan aan de ernst.

Tafel: hoogleraar waarschijnlijkheidsrekening prof. dr. Ronald Meester, neuroloog dr. Jan Bonte en orthomoleculair specialist Sander Janson

Presentatie: Steye van Dam
Sidekick: acteur en theatermaker George van Houts

Another one of Aldous Huxley. Excessive will-to-order (alluding to the Will-to-power of Nietzsche) is one of the driving forces behind totalitarianism:
‘It is in the social sphere, in the realm of politics and economics, that the Will to Order becomes really dangerous. Here the theoretical reduction of unmanageable multiplicity to comprehensible
unity becomes the practical reduction of human diversity to subhuman uniformity, of freedom to servitude. In politics the equivalent of a fully developed scientific theory or philosophical system is a totalitarian dictatorship. In economics, the equivalent of a
beautifully composed work of art is the smoothly running factory in which the workers are perfectly adjusted to the machines. The Will to Order can make tyrants out of those who merely aspire to clear up a mess. The beauty of tidiness is used as a justification for despotism.
Organization is indispensable; for liberty arises and has meaning only within a self-regulating community of freely cooperating individuals. But, though indispensable, organization can also be fatal. Too much organization transforms men and women into automata, suffocates the creative spirit and abolishes the very possibility of freedom. As usual, the only safe course is in the middle, between the extremes of laissez-faire at one end of the scale and of total control at the other’.

We live in something called 'the cosmic web,' where galaxies are connected in tendrils separated by giant voids, Scientists have created the first map of a colossal supercluster of galaxies known as Laniakea, the home of Earth's Milky Way galaxy and many other. The giant supercluster, with the Milky Way's location shown as a red dot.

BREDA- Bezoekers van de 538 Koningsdag konden zaterdagmiddag hun eten en drinken niet met hun pinpas afrekenen. Het festival werd gedurende 1,5 uur getroffen door een pinstoring. Omdat het een pin-only-evenement is, was contant betalen niet mogelijk. Momenteel wordt er druk gewerkt om alle rijen weg te werken bij de horecagelegenheden.
