About this blog

This blog is about politics, art, and philosophy. That’s why it’s called P.A.P. Blog. Art and philosophy are discussed to the extent that they are “political”. Politics, in turn, is limited to issues of HUMAN RIGHTS and DEMOCRACY, which is wide enough to encompass most if not all important political topics. There is hardly anything important in life which cannot be looked at through the lens of human rights (love and friendship are some of the rare exceptions).

These topics are covered from both a theoretical/philosophical point of view, and from a data point of view. Especially the topic of human rights is in need of a data approach because the traditional way of dealing with it is way too anecdotal.

I will avoid talking about myself too much. I will only link to things about me if I think it may be interesting to people who do not know me. This blog is not my personal diary.

The blog contains a few “blog series”, like “human rights cartoons”, “human rights poem”, “human rights quotes”, “human rights facts”, “human rights stories”, “what is democracy?”, “political artists” etc. You can find links to these series on the right.

To the left, there’s a list of the most popular posts. On top, there’s a tab with the posts which are according to me essential for a good understanding of what this blog is about.
