This is for you, somewhere out there, who enjoys music and loves to go to concerts.
This is for you, somewhere out there, who gets excited at concerts and dances and claps.
This is for you, somewhere out there, who starts pondering at concerts – whenever the band animates the crowd to clap rhythmically – why people are not able to hold the tact! Why they get faster after a couple of beats already, bringing the crowd out of synchronization with the band, destroying the precious interaction with the music on stage.
This is for you, somewhere out there, who then starts looking around, and making out one or two other people in your vicinity, holding the beat steady, building a unit of proper rhythm against against the monstrous masses of musical illiteracy. Clapping out of synch with the crowd, proudly, with your head high, no matter how they look at you.
This if for you. I love you.
We are the one per cent.
(and I am sure that Tiny, Wombat and Bene are among us)

“I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set; suddenly, the sky turned as red as blood. I stopped and leaned against the fence, feeling unspeakably tired. Tongues of fire and blood stretched over the bluish black fjord. My friends went on walking, while I lagged behind, shivering with fear. Then I heard the enormous, infinite scream of nature.”
[...]
“For several years I was almost mad … You know my picture, ‘The Scream?’ I was stretched to the limit—nature was screaming in my blood … After that I gave up hope ever of being able to love again.”
I wonder if he ever met Vigeland.

Orlagh O’Brien did some amazing emotion research in 2006 and 2007, called Emotionally Vague. He asked a sample of people different questions regarding emotions.
Q2: How do you feel these emotions in your body? Draw anything you wish.
This image was averaged over all participants of the study.
O’Brien also worked with colors (not unlike the color survey of information is beautiful) and words.
Highly recommendable.

(1) Why pirates save the environment
The pirate raids in the seas east of Africa have had a significant impact on the environment: international trawlers that were illegally fishing there for years have apparently been avoiding the shores, which led to a dramatic increase in fish stock. In Mogadishu (capital of Somalia), the growing supply has led to decreasing prices, thus people who live there can actually afford to eat fish for the first time in many years. So far, most of the fish was exported.

(2) Why there is beauty in architecture
I have not seen anything like that before … take yourself 12 minutes, relax, get a cup of tea and a blanket, and watch this. Please.
And after you realize that this is nearly 100% rendered (this is not filmed, it was created with a computer), I hope you’re as amazed as I am.
