Yay!! Finally... a date it set to defend my masters thesis. Hopefully after the 6th of June I can call myself a 'master in the art of philosophy' (though I really don't believe I can live up to that title). But still, it's kind of cool. My thesis is about the search for a philosophical theory that can capture and ground the possible responsibility of consumers concerning human rights violations in production chains. I did a case-study on exploitation of workers and responsibility in the chocolate industry. (No, that doesn't mean just eating a whole bunch of chocolate........ or does it??)
I'm re-reading my thesis now.. Let's hope the examinators questions won't be too hard!!
#thesis #philosophy #help!
Another sunny morning out on the MTB! I miss the trails that were close to my homes in Heukelom (Tilburg) and Wageningen. There're not many exciting places to (legally) mountainbike around the Hague.. Any tips??

A ride to the beach! Even though I live so close to the sea at the moment.. I still hardly ever go there. I love the smell of the ocean :D!!

And now.. back to the bike! Warm sun.... chilly wind!! Had to wear my new overshorts though, cause I like 'em so much! #skyrider shorts by @sportful .
Thanks @passionforcycling for the awesome 2023 summer items!!
Got two pairs of great fitting overshorts now.. which I love, cause I can just take both on tours and also wear them off the bike. That way I don't have to bring casual shorts = less items to carry!
