Humans and Society

Things are happening faster and faster in our society today. I work as a University teacher in IT, and I am deeply involved in issues concerning the little people in the big contexts. This the Mumrik's view.


Don't worry, just play this game and you'll get rich!????

29 Jul 2020 3 minute read 3 comments Mumriken

I do play games to relax my brain sometimes, (and maybe it has something to do with having ADHD as well, what do I know?). Some of my favourite games rely on advertising for financing. That is not a problem for me, actually, since I think it is OK fo...

Writing for fun or for money?

I just read a post that I liked very much. It was discussing whether you could get rich on Internet, e.g., by publishing on publish0x. And the answer was essentially "No". However, getting money for coffee isn't all that bad either. However, the post...

Toy mining... what gives?

I am definitely not a professional crypto guy, that is for sure. I don't have the resources for mining, neither do I have enough money to stake large amounts of crypto. However, I like the idea of crypto, and I collect a little BAT here and a little...

Learning to Teach Online...

7 Apr 2020 5 minute read 0 comments Mumriken

in some way... you actually meet the student more intensely than during an ordinary lecture. I never thought I would be an "online teacher". I thought that I love meeting the students in the classroom too much for that, but of course, now when the...

Two months ago, this seemed like a pretty normal year, and few could even imagine what has  now really happened in the last few weeks. A large part of the world is now in a lock-down, where even the most democratic countries are taking steps to limit...

23 Mar 2020 3 minute read 0 comments Mumriken

It might be that we are now in the worst economic situation since the 1930s or even since the Tulip mania in 1630s. What has surprised me, is that the cryptocurrencies have not been the safe haven many thought, but rather the opposite. Some say it is...

The Most Important Task of the Leaders in Times Such as These.

So, you are employed by a company or an organisation and now the Corona virus is affecting the business. But do you know what you are supposed to do? Do you know what is going on? Or are you just listening to and spreading the rumours that start to f...

Distance education... let's see how this works.

Now the Swedish government has decided to have the universities use distance education in order to minimize the spread of the virus. I have no experience of this before, but we'll see how this will turn out... I wonder whether there would be some ide...

Time for some extra ice???

8 Mar 2020 1 minute read 0 comments Mumriken

So, the cryptos seem to dive currently... and I think that it's time to start the ice machines. I hope you have kept to the rule of not staking more than you can afford to lose, because then it is time to hang on to the sums you have, and maybe even...

Should I stay or should I go (for it)...?

This paraphrase of a quote from a famous rock song came to me to day when I looked at my bitcoin account. We are approaching a halving of bitcoin, and there seems to be an almost complete consensus about that there will a bull rush sometime soon... ...
