The winners of the digital revolution include hairdressers, plumbers, care and service workers and professions that have something to do with creativity and responsibility (1). It's starting to work in my head. If that is the case, then it is fair to ask whether we still need compulsory education. Why should we all be forced to go to school and learn things that we don't need in our lives?...

"Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." So said Jesus according to the Gospel. Now the people in Gaza are not to be underestimated. But from a Christian perspective, they are our brothers and sisters. So why are large parts of the "Christian West" not coming to their aid, not even raising a timid voice of protest?...

In the neoliberal variant of capitalism, postmodern pluralism dominates and with it a reason that is no longer trusted to understand the whole.. For instrumental reason, the actual world is always the best of all possible worlds since the question of a better world cannot arise in it. No problem arises that makes another, not yet existing world necessary or desirable....

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Our steadfast Palestinian people, The Arab & Islamic nations; The free peoples worldwide and those who advocate for freedom, justice and human dignity In light of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and as our people continue their battle for independence, dignity and breaking-free from the longest-ever occupation during which they have drawn the finest displays of bravery and heroism in confronting th...

Practically what it has come to mean thenceforth, is techniques of behavior control; how empires, rulers, oligarchy, the powers that be behind the modern state, etc., should keep the masses, hoi polloi (in Greek) busy between struggling for food and entertainment, so that the empire, rulers, oligarchy, and the powers that be fronted by the visible symbols of the state, can continue on with their own business of pursuit of narrow self interests while maintaining proper illusions....

Who is actually defending Ukraine? We are informed punctually and in detail about Russian war crimes, military mishaps and dodgy private armies such as the Wagner Group. On the other hand, we regularly read reports on how "heroically and resourcefully Ukrainians are defending their country". https://youtu.be/WoP1i9ZzwOs https://youtu.be/EWjMr3RZ8Ss Ukraine is now a candidate for EU membership. So a closer look at the structure of the army and comparable forces is certainly worthwhile. ...

Children in the West today are brought up to believe that the West is superior in every way to Africa, Asia, China, Russia: that the world outside the West is a garden of horrors...It seems almost paradoxical that the West, which sees itself as the inventor of Enlightenment reason against dogmatism, still arrogates to itself the right to have a monopoly on reason...

One aspect of our society, which is oriented towards self-interest rather than the common good, is that the systemic relevance of education is increasingly taking a back seat to being a market to be served and a nice playground for endless political debates and reforms with little substance, the main aim of which is to preserve the market and the hereditary farms......

The capitalist system itself behaves like a true fundamentalist power. Whatever is not part of the market (and it is the market which decides what is or is not part of it) is wrong, reprehensible. This principle is defended with great fanaticism.. There is no need to resort to terror. Everything is decided on the stock exchange....

Ecological restructuring and the expansion of the welfare state must be considered, conceived and coordinated. An active financial policy must compensate for inflation for low-income and poor private households along with bridging programs for energy-intensive companies, including craft businesses. This stabilizing fiscal policy must be complemented by an active monetary policy...
