Autobahn

Freeway

Autobahnen sind immer besondere Orte für mich gewesen. Meistens war ich nicht unter Zeitdruck, selten musste ich in einer bestimmten Zeit von A nach B. Vielmehr sind Autobahnen Reiserouten. Ich befinde mich dort in Zwischenzuständen, eine Art Niemandsland mit unendlich vielen Möglichkeiten. Das eröffnet Denkräume. Oft sind die einfach leer. Das Gehirn ist damit beschäftigt, […]

Elan Vital – Lebensschwung

Elan Vital - Vitality

Ich hatte immer Bauchschmerzen mit einer atomistischen Weltanschauung. Wir lernen in der Schule, dass die kleinsten Bauteile des Universums Atome seien. Nun ist die Physik weiter, wir sprechen von Protonen, Elektronen, Positronen, Quarks und Strings etc. … Im Kern bleibt die Idee aber dieselbe: Die Welt sei aus kleinsten Teilen von Materie zusammengesetzt. Dies ist […]

Gesellschaftliche Utopie

Social utopia

Gravitational force influences space and time, says science. Concentrated at one point, it compresses matter to its pure substance, squeezes atomic nuclei and electrons together to form a mass [...]

Teilhaben

Participate

Today, after many years, I may have arrived at the market here for the first time. There are so many economies here. Shopping - of course - routines too... Efficiency - the best for the best price. Meeting people, looking out for acquaintances. What I've never seen is the social aspect. People know each other and play [...]

An einer Utopie arbeiten

Working on a utopia

It is definitely time to rethink. What our fathers and grandfathers called progress is destroying our planet. Science is not an end in itself, not everything that is technically feasible is good, not everything that is fun and satisfies our senses is useful. Now we keep hearing from many sides that we should focus on the small steps ahead [...].

Platons Höhle

Plato's cave

In Plato's allegory of the cave, people sit in front of a wall on which the shadows of real objects in the world can be seen. As they have only seen the shadows in their entire lives, they think that these are reality. The philosopher's task is to explain to the people that they should turn around in order to [...]
