The bianca Story: Coming Home Albumstream
They are way more than a band, but a great band they are. The bianca Story from Basel have finally released their long anticipated second album “Coming Home”. I’ve been listening to this record for weeks, I’ve seen them play live a few times recently, and I’ve been blown away every single time. Click the link below and make it the soundtrack of your weekend. It will stick. Trivia: They are, to my best knowledge, the first band to remix Mark Zuckerberg into one of their songs.

The Illusion of Asymmetric Insight
We think we understand others better than they understand us. We think of our own actions as neutral and judge others by theirs. Good read from a book titled “You Are Not So Smart” by David McRaney, released last autumn. In this excerpt, McRaney is connecting dots between an infamous psychological experiment in the 50ies, today’s social media and the perception of self and other in general to make this point: You are driven to create and form groups and then believe others are wrong just because they are others. The trailer to the book is worth watching, too.
