SAVE PLAYGROUNDS ARE BAD FOR KIDS.

During the German occupation of Denmark Carl Theodor Sorensen noticed that kids would play everywhere from boombed buildings to construcion sites, exept playgrounds. That made him decide to close an empty lot in suburbs to make a jank playground which was filled with building materials, tools and random objects so kids could explore, dig and build the area as they wanted. After that multiple of these where built in the UK,  under the name of adventure playgrounds and they became global phenomenon. But why? Kids respond well to being treated seriously. If they are given risky items and free space to use them on their own, they will act carefully. The problem starts when you present to them overly save constructions... they start looking for risks that they aren't provided with. Statistics confirm that most of the serious injuries happen at save playgrounds not the ones we are so sceptical about. Beside that reportedly children who play on adventure playgrounds are not only more active, creative and have better risk detection but they also have higher self esteem.
To do a quick sum up, risky is a lot better than boring in some cases ;)

#VIDEO2 This week I watched a very interesting experiment that a scientist did on himself. Anatoli Brouchkov injected his body with 3.5 milion year old virus that was discovered in 2009 in Mammoth Mautain. His main question was, how the virus manage to stay alive after all those years trapped in the ice. A. Brouchkov started experimenting on animals as well as plants and the results were very interesting. He thought that this could be a potential longevity serum and becouse of that he wanted to do an experiment on a human subject - himself. After injecting  the virus scientist said he is in the best shape he has ever been and is even more determined to find the immortal bacteria.

Reflections #2 This weekend I realized a lot of things. I realized how much nice weather affects me, how fast time passes and how much I hate myself for having bad priorities. The last two are sometimes really  bothering me… in some way I hate thinking about them, it's just really sad and overwhelming. Maybe the problem is in the way I look at them, but I just can't do it differently. It's really frustrating how much you want to change something but the process of doing this is soooo long.  I think overall these topics aren't easy for a lot of people. They can come to your mind any time of the day and stay for quite some time. But you can also really easily forget about them and just get lost in the rights of today's society... In my opinion the hardest thing is to always have them at the back of your head and still live in the Harmony with yourself. If you can do it you can really be proud of yourself.

Does school prepare us for life? Well the answer is a big NO. Why? because it simply does not. School will not teach you how to pay your bills, how to handle money how to find a job or how to cook. I think that school trays really hard to kill our creativity and self development. Halve or probably even more of things we have to learn will never be useful. School trains us in how to follow the instructions (what is GOOD) and how to remember lots of things for test, 90% of a time just for a test :)
