				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The soundbyte has a bad reputation. As an icon of modern man&#8217;s lack of time it signals temporal poverty, but also stands for compression and concentration. If you want to give a child a good start (in at least two senses), don&#8217;t give it lengthy books but proverbs and quotations. These are short, unflattering and they inspire, almost FORCE the child to think.</p>
<p>I quote:</p>
<p><em>There are people who are happy without knowing it</em><br />
<em> If the shoe fits you are not allowing for growth</em><br />
<em> Everybody likes the smell of his own fart</em></p>
<p>Such miniature &#8220;thinkbytes&#8221; are freeze-dried wisdom, often the result of a long life of reflection. A standard book of quotations can thus expand to the size of a small library.</p>
<p>Just add reader.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We civilians often think things are done for US.</p>
<p>Men think that women dress for them &#8212; while women dress for each other.</p>
<p>Women think men are toiling for them &#8212; which happens to be correct.</p>
<p>Both men and women think that  technological changes and computer updates are done for them &#8212; while they are just part of the war between companies. The &#8220;user&#8221; is merely audience.</p>
<p>The same goes for politics. Voters think politicians work for them. Actually voters are just the crowd cheering and helping one of the teams to win.</p>
<p>It is only in sports that this relationship is clear. We know we are unimportant shouting machines.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;What doesn´t kill you&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Stop! We know that tune. Turn around and go the other way.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>What doesn´t make you stronger kills you &#8212; s l o w l y.</em></p>
<p>Now that´s a good motto.  Of course there are things and people that kill you <em>fast</em>, like Martians</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-225" title="Nietzsche martians kill you" src="http://media1.theharmoniousblacksmith.org/2012/04/fastdeath-300x121.jpg" alt="Nietzsche martians kill you" width="300" height="121" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>or  Americans.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-224" title="Nietzsche USA kill you" src="http://media1.theharmoniousblacksmith.org/2012/04/nuclear-bomb-300x178.jpg" alt="Nietzsche USA kill you" width="300" height="178" /></p>
<p>But that has nothing to do with weakness, or weakening.</p>
<p>One way to avoid being killed slowly is to say <em><a title="The power of No" href="http://theharmoniousblacksmith.org/en/blog/the-power-of-no/">NO!</a></em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">Mad scientists in the country of<br />
ABBA and Linneus<br />
turn men and women into HENS!</h3>
<p>We have just received dramatic reports from correspondents in Scandinavia informing us that <strong>this is the end of Swedish <em>people</em> as we know them.</strong></p>
<p>A metamorphosis of humans into something magnificent (like tigers) or poetic (like gazelles) might be strange &#8212; but still somehow understandable. However, Sweden, once a proud and patriotic country that termed its language the language of honor and heroes (&#8220;ärans och hjältarnas språk&#8221;), is now turning it´s back on magnificence and poetry and will henceforth be hen territory.</p>
<div id="attachment_182" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-182 " title="han hon hen" src="http://media1.theharmoniousblacksmith.org/2012/03/hensgalore-300x177.jpg" alt="han hon hen" width="300" height="177" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Are we not hens?</p></div>
<p>After the regime change the only politically correct movie will be Chicken Little; everybody will eat at Scania Fried Chicken, buy their clothes at Hens &amp; Mauritz and hum the tunes of Hans Werner Hense.</p>
<p>Did I say hum? I meant <em>cluck</em>.</p>
<div id="attachment_188" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 297px"><img class="size-full wp-image-188 " title="han hon hena" src="http://media1.theharmoniousblacksmith.org/2012/03/Clara-Cluck.jpg" alt="han hon hena" width="287" height="209" /><p class="wp-caption-text">It doesn´t have a tune and you can´t dance to it... Hense is my favorite composer!</p></div>
<p>Not only Swedish people are affected by strange metamorphosis. A similar transformation has been observed all over the globe in the sphere of<a title="Sometimes democracy must be defended even against ways of defending it" href="http://theharmoniousblacksmith.org/en/blog/defending-democracy-against-itself/"> <em>ideas</em> and <em>concepts</em> </a>.</p>
