Description:
'What are you resisting?' is the fourth edition in the successful series Nederland in ideen, in which leading scientists, entrepreneurs and artists answer one question. This year the question was asked by Anton Corbijn: 'What are you resisting?'

What we are angry about gives us energy and sets us in motion. Whether you are a poet, entrepreneur or theoretical physicist: everyone has to deal with ideas, theories, methods or processes that they do not want to accept. For example, Spinvis thinks that imagery manipulates and misleads, Dick Swaab wants to get rid of the taboo on brain diseases, film scientist Peter Verstraten is angry about 'Forrest Gump' and Asha ten Broeke writes about the suffering behind the stupidity.

What are you resisting? shows what experts think needs to change in our world. But it also gives insight into our motivations, because John Lydon, the lead singer of the Sex Pistols, said it: 'Anger is an energy!'
