I know you’re too tired, and maybe too scared for a revolution – after all, the prevalent system is designed for having us believe we are helplessly unable to change it. Let us be honest: a revolution is on the horizon, and a revolution is needed. You know it, I know it. Without one, this form of greed inspired capitalism will not only remain, but grow a tiny bit more monstrous, ever so slightly more inhumane every day. We cannot allow for a system to dominate our lives, which rewards the worst instincts in us, and promotes the most unscrupulous of us to the top. This way, things will never get better – instead, they will become worse. If we do not overcome our (perceived) helplessness and tire, if we do not find the courage and strength to intervene, if we to do not do something – we will remain in the stranglehold of an asymmetrical financial system, and under the spell of a tiny fraction of extremely rich, powerful and influential people. There are alternatives – never believe anyone claiming there is none. The ideas are out there – they are right here, on this very site. I invite you to help yourself, and all those dear to you – and in the end, even the whole of humanity. For example, by spending five minutes with the intro article of this site you can see below. What could be more important, than take on the fight for a better tomorrow – for ourselves, our loved ones, our children? I'd like to ask you to move forward,, to join, I ask you to participate, and not remain dormant. Not remain helpless. Not remain uninformed and hence impotent. Simply by reading a few articles on this site, you may discover what is absolutely possible for a better future.
The following is written in response to an article out of The Verge – where one of the journalists employed there took a one-year absence from being connected to the internet – a rigorous absence, absconding from any digital connection to the outside world, after being “burnt out”, feeling overwhelmed by the constant pings of…
I have bought and used Apple products. I have done so in excess. In an somewhat sadomasochist seizure, I calculated the total amount I had spent on Apple products over the last ten years: it’s been more than $ 5000. About a year ago I sold my iPhone. Three months ago, I sold my iPad….
Die Seele blättert, doch wächst Es weiter, Stur-störrisch, knorr, in haltlose Luft. Die Wurzeln brüchig wankt Es im Wind, Je doppelt zittert der Ast, je vierfach der Zweig. Bricht ab, bricht weg, bricht Es hinunter, Was standhaft ist darf nicht bemerken was abgefallen rundherum.
“Was für eine Idee ist das, das bürgerliche Grundeinkommen? Was für eine unverschämte, bodenlos dumme Vorstellung einiger Woodstock-Relikte und faulen Teenies soll das denn sein?” http://www.kultkino.ch/kultkino/besonderes/grundeinkommen – eineinhalb Stunden-Dokumenation und Überzeugungsarbeit zum Thema des Bürgerlichen Grundeinkommens. ————— Ich will nichts mehr als jedem dieses sorgfältig erstelle kleine Werk ans Herz legen.

Wie Denker zu Idioten wurden Früher lüpfte man den Hut vor Professoren und Philosophen, doch in den Achtzigern setzte ein Wertewandel ein. Warum ist intellektuell heute ein Schimpfwort? Weil keinen Wert mehr hat, was nicht verkauft – und die obszönen Superreichen zum kollektiven Vorbild geworden sind. Intellektuelle gab es früher. Sie schrieben Bücher, waren Professoren,…
“Die böse böse Metaphysik!
