Applauding Murder Is Not Justice. It’s Collapse.

A man was shot on stage.
People cheered.

That’s all you need to know to understand how far we've fallen.

There are videos online right now, some viral, of people celebrating the moment Charlie Kirk was gunned down. Not hours later. Not after the facts were in. Immediately. While others stood frozen, one man pumped his fist in joy. Laughing. Triumphant.

Let that sink in.

A bullet enters a human body, and that became cause for celebration.

This isn’t politics. This isn’t activism. This is sickness.

It doesn’t matter what you think of Charlie Kirk.
It doesn’t matter what he said, what he stood for, who he voted for.

No one deserves to be executed for speaking.
And no one should ever be applauded for pulling a trigger.

There is no nuance here. No complexity.
If you celebrate death, you are part of the decay.

And if you find yourself laughing, clapping, or making content out of a murder, then you’ve been fully captured by the machine. Your soul has already been traded for a dopamine hit.

This is not a random event. This is where dehumanization leads.
First, you cancel. Then you mock. Then you erase.
Eventually, someone pulls the trigger, and the crowd goes wild.

We’ve been here before.
Every empire that collapsed into violence walked this path.
Every totalitarian regime started by degrading human life, and getting the crowd to cheer.

I will not soften this. I will not hide behind “but also” or “however.”
What I see online is evil.

The joy. The hunger. The complete lack of conscience.

That’s the real threat.

When a society claps for a killing, it is already dead on the inside.

And so I say this without hesitation:
I condemn it. Every second of it.

I don’t care who it was. I don’t care what the motive was.
We don’t fix the world by becoming murderers in spirit.
We don’t heal by hating.
We don’t awaken by dehumanizing.

You can call it justice.
You can call it karma.
You can call it whatever makes you sleep at night.

But what you applauded was a killing.
And that makes you part of the problem.

Let’s see who has the spine to share this.
Not for me. Not for clicks.
But because there’s still something human left inside you, and it knows what you saw was wrong.

Silence now is consent.

 

How Taxes Should Really Be Treated

For as long as there have been organized states, there have been taxes. In Egypt, Rome, and throughout medieval Europe, rulers demanded contributions to fund wars, build palaces, or secure their own power. Time and again this led to discontent and uprisings, from the Peasants’ Revolt in Germany to the American Revolution, which began with the famous words: “No taxation without representation.”

Today, taxes are firmly embedded in modern constitutions, in Germany’s Basic Law, in Switzerland’s Federal Constitution. But the core problem remains: the state is at once legislator, administrator, and beneficiary of taxes. It controls itself, and public trust continues to erode.

The Idea of Reform

Imagine this: the state is no longer “the boss” but the employee of the people. It does not manage its own funds but applies for resources to cover basic needs and projects. Approval and oversight are carried out by an independent institution, composed of citizens and entrepreneurs from different backgrounds, supported by experts and modern technology.

This is exactly what a draft law for a new Article envisions:

• Independent Institution: Comprised of citizens and entrepreneurs, two-year terms, no re-election.

• Budget Control: The federal government submits a budget; expenses beyond basic needs must be justified and approved.

• Transparency: All revenues and expenditures are publicly accessible.

• Sanctions: Deception, abuse, or undue influence are punishable by loss of office, fines, and prison sentences.

• Crisis Fund: For extraordinary emergencies, with clear criteria and time limits.

The institution would include 400–550 people, divided into a citizen/entrepreneur chamber, expert departments (finance, law, technology & AI, communication), and support staff. It would be funded independently of taxes, through business contributions (max. 0.01% of turnover), fines, and optionally a tiny share of VAT (0.1%). Annual cost: €70–90 million, about 0.02% of the federal budget. The potential savings from more efficient spending could reach billions.

The Core Principle

The principle is simple:
The state is the employee of the people, not the other way around.

That would mean: citizens and entrepreneurs, as the true drivers of the economy and society, take responsibility for ensuring that tax money is used wisely, transparently, and in everyone’s interest.

The final question is:
Who among you would support such a law?

To All of Humanity – Yes, You.

You are the most paradoxical species on this planet.

You create symphonies that echo through time, then turn around and destroy in ways that defy logic.
You crave peace, yet you fuel wars.
You speak of love while hurting those closest to you.
You long for freedom, yet build your own cages, brick by brick.

Still... you keep going.

You write words that mend broken souls.
You give more than you have.
You laugh through pain no one sees.
You wake up, again and again, even when every part of you wants to stay down.

Yes, you are manipulated. Distracted. Divided.
Yes, you're forgetting what it means to be truly alive.
But here's the truth, no system can erase:

There is something in you that cannot be owned.
Something that remembers.
Something that resists.
Something that knows.

And if you're reading this, then maybe…
just maybe…
You're one of those rare ones who hasn’t given up yet.

The ones who still ask questions.
The ones who still feel the sting of injustice.
The ones who see through the noise—and choose to care anyway.

So, whoever you are:
You're not broken beyond repair.
You're not too small to matter.
And you're not alone in this.

You’re human.
Messy, brilliant, unfinished.
But sacred.

And maybe today…
That’s enough.

Der Nebel vor dem Sturm

Plötzlich sprechen alle vom „Gold-Kollaps“. EZB-Ökonomen warnen, Medien titeln mit Alarmstufe Rot, und auf einmal scheint das älteste Wertaufbewahrungsmittel der Menschheit ins Wanken zu geraten. Gold, das Symbol für Sicherheit, Unabhängigkeit und Realwert, soll nun selbst zum Risiko geworden sein?

Es stellt sich mir die Frage, ob hier wirklich das Gold in Gefahr ist, oder ob wir es mit einem Vertrauensbruch zu tun haben, der ganz woanders beginnt.

Der Begriff „Kollaps“ bezieht sich nicht auf Barren in Safes oder Münzen in Händen. Er zielt auf Papier, auf all die Derivate, ETFs, Zertifikate, die Gold nur versprechen, aber nie wirklich liefern. Seit Jahren wissen Experten, dass auf jeden realen Barren ein Vielfaches an „Papiergold“ im System zirkuliert. Solange niemand ernsthaft physische Auslieferung verlangt, bleibt das System stabil, eine stille Übereinkunft im Vertrauen auf die Illusion.

Und wie so oft wird die Öffentlichkeit mit Schlagworten beschäftigt, während die wahren Machtzentren längst damit beginnen, sich neu zu positionieren. Wer das beobachtet, ohne in Panik zu verfallen, erkennt: Wir stehen nicht vor einem Gold-Kollaps. Wir stehen vor einem VertrauensKollaps. Und der betrifft nicht nur Märkte, sondern ganze Weltbilder.

Wenn ein System ins Wanken gerät, wird selten das Offensichtliche thematisiert. Stattdessen werden Ersatzthemen erzeugt, Nebelkerzen, die Aufmerksamkeit binden, während sich im Hintergrund die eigentlichen Verschiebungen vollziehen.

In genau diesem Muster lässt sich auch die aktuelle Aufregung um den Goldmarkt einordnen. Während der Begriff „Kollaps“ Schlagzeilen macht, ist es erstaunlich ruhig geblieben um eine andere, viel bedeutendere Entwicklung: den wachsenden Einfluss nicht-westlicher Länder auf den globalen Goldfluss.

In Uganda wurden vor wenigen Jahren riesige Vorkommen entdeckt, theoretisch genug, um das westliche Machtmonopol auf den Goldpreis massiv ins Wanken zu bringen. Parallel bauen die BRICS-Staaten an Alternativen zum Dollar, mit dem Gedanken, ihre Währungen künftig an physisches Gold zu koppeln.

Was passiert, wenn diese Länder Gold nicht mehr nur als Handelsgut behandeln, sondern als Grundlage eines neuen Währungssystems?

Gleichzeitig warnen europäische Zentralbanker vor „Lieferproblemen“ und „Liquiditätsengpässen“ bei Goldprodukten, nicht, weil es kein Gold gäbe, sondern weil es nicht da ist, wo es sein sollte: in realer Form.

Die Risiken, vor denen gewarnt wird, sind nicht neu. Was sich ändert, ist der Ton. Und die Frage drängt sich auf: Will man mit der Krise, die man medial beschwört, nicht eher etwas anderes verdecken? Etwa die bevorstehende Entwertung von Vertrauen in westlich kontrollierte Strukturen? Oder gar vorbereiten auf einen Reset, in dem Bargeld, Gold und Eigentum nur noch in digitalisierter, zentral steuerbarer Form eine Rolle spielen?

Wer diese Umleitung erkennt, beginnt anders zu denken. Nicht in Schlagzeilen, sondern in Mustern. Nicht in Angst, sondern in Haltung. Was heißt das alles für jene, die keine Finanzprodukte verkaufen, keine Medienmacht besitzen, keine Goldreserven bunkern, sondern einfach nur versuchen, ihre Familie zu versorgen, ihre Ersparnisse zu schützen und einigermaßen durchzukommen?

Der „kleine Mann“, und mit ihm Millionen andere Menschen, ist in solchen Entwicklungen nicht Akteur, sondern Angeschlossener. Er hat keinen Einfluss auf Zinspolitik, keine Einsicht in Zentralbankstrategien, und keine Hand am medialen Lautstärkeregler. Aber er ist derjenige, der die Folgen tragen muss.

Wenn das Vertrauen in Papiergold bröckelt, betrifft das nicht nur Anleger. Es trifft die Rente, die Lebensversicherung, den Fonds der Betriebskasse. Produkte, die mit einem Goldanteil werben, ohne ihn wirklich zu hinterlegen, könnten an Wert verlieren, nicht weil das Gold fehlt, sondern weil das Vertrauen wegbricht.

Gleichzeitig wächst die Gefahr einer monetären Zangenbewegung:

• Einerseits wird das Bargeld Schritt für Schritt verdrängt, unter dem Vorwand der Sicherheit und Effizienz.

• Andererseits wird die Tür zu zentral kontrollierten Digitalwährungen weit geöffnet.

Wer dabei nicht mitspielt, läuft Gefahr, schlicht ausgeschlossen zu werden. Nicht mit Gewalt, sondern durch Systemlogik. Kein Konto? Kein Zugriff. Keine App? Kein Einkauf. Keine Registrierung? Kein Einkommen. Der Zwang entsteht nicht durch Strafe, sondern durch Struktur.

Und noch etwas kommt dazu, in Zeiten wie diesen wird Besitz selbst zur Zielscheibe. Ob Gold, Immobilien oder landwirtschaftliche Fläche, alles, was real ist, gilt zunehmend als verdächtig. Wer etwas hat, soll es „nutzbar machen“, „teilen“, „regulieren lassen“, im Zweifel gegen Gebühr oder unter Aufsicht.

Für den kleinen Mann heißt das: Er wird nicht offen enteignet. Aber er wird umstellt, durch Regeln, Kontrollen, Einschränkungen und digitale Hürden.

Was bleibt, ist ein Gefühl, das viele kennen, aber kaum jemand ausspricht:

„Ich kann nichts dafür. Aber ich werde trotzdem zahlen.“

Doch das stimmt nicht ganz. Denn wer erkennt, was kommt, kann anfangen, sich anders zu verhalten. Nicht im Kampf gegen das System, sondern im Schutz des Eigenen.

Um die Mechanismen zu verstehen, reicht es nicht, über Risiken zu sprechen. Man muss sich vorstellen, wie sie konkret aussehen könnten. Nicht um Angst zu machen, sondern um vorbereitet zu sein. Hier sind drei realistische Szenarien, die sich aus der aktuellen Dynamik ergeben können:

Szenario A: Vertrauensverlust im Papiergold

Ein größerer Finanzakteur verlangt plötzlich physische Auslieferung von Gold, das nur „auf dem Papier“ hinterlegt ist. Die Banken oder Fonds können nicht liefern. Die Meldung macht die Runde, andere ziehen nach. Ein Vertrauenseffekt kippt. Papiergold wird abverkauft, reale Barren werden knapp. Der Preis von physischem Gold steigt rasant, während Zertifikate einbrechen. Kleine Anleger kommen nicht mehr ran. Die, die vorher abgewiegelt wurden („Gold bringt keine Zinsen“), stehen nun außen vor. Wer zu spät kauft, bekommt entweder nichts, oder zahlt das Vierfache. Szenario B: Der digitale Reset

Im Zuge einer neuen „Krise“, sei es Währungs-, Energie- oder Vertrauenskrise, schlägt man eine „innovative Lösung“ vor: Eine digitale Zentralbankwährung (CBDC), angeblich sicherer, transparenter, kontrollierbarer. Bargeld wird in mehreren Stufen eingeschränkt. Große Barzahlungen verboten. Später: Obergrenzen für Barbesitz. Noch später: Einlösbarkeit nur über digitale Konten. Goldkauf wird meldepflichtig. Später nur noch über lizenzierte Händler. Schließlich: Einschränkungen oder Sondersteuern.

Was als Modernisierung verkauft wird, entpuppt sich als Kontrollinfrastruktur, in der Besitz, Zugang und Verhalten vollständig sichtbar und steuerbar werden.

Szenario C: Geopolitische Goldverschiebung

Die BRICS-Staaten (Brasilien, Russland, Indien, China, Südafrika) beschließen, ihre Handelswährungen an physisches Gold zu koppeln. Zugleich fordern sie die Rückgabe westlich gelagerter Goldreserven. Afrika bringt neue Vorkommen auf den Markt, nicht über London oder New York, sondern über eigene Rohstoffbörsen. Der Westen verliert die Kontrolle über die Preisbildung. Die Währungshegemonie des US-Dollars beginnt zu bröckeln.

In Europa und Nordamerika beginnt eine Phase der importierten Unsicherheit: steigende Rohstoffpreise, Druck auf den Euro, Reformdruck auf das Finanzsystem. Der Bürger soll stabilisieren, was andere destabilisieren.

Drei Szenarien – aber ein Muster:

Es geht nie um das Gold allein. Es geht um Verfügbarkeit, Kontrolle, Vertrauen. Und um die Frage, wer sich vorbereitet hat, und wer nicht.

Wer keine Fonds verwaltet, keine Lobbys hinter sich hat und nicht eingeladen wird, wenn Weichen gestellt werden, hat vor allem eins: Verantwortung für sich selbst. Und genau deshalb braucht es keine großen Worte, sondern kleine, klare Schritte.

Hier ein paar Grundsätze, die sich in jeder Krise bewähren, nicht als Garantie, aber als Orientierung:

1. Werthaltig denken, nicht spekulativ

Gold ist kein Wundermittel, keine Fluchtwährung und kein Zauberstab. Aber: Es ist Realwert. Wer die Möglichkeit hat, sollte einen kleinen Teil seines Vermögens in physischem Edelmetall halten, Gold oder Silber, im Zugriff, nicht in einer App. Keine Panikmengen, sondern solide Reserve. Nicht um reich zu werden, sondern um nicht völlig abhängig zu sein.

2. Bargeld bleibt Freiheit, solange es noch geht

Ein Notgroschen in Bar, physisch verfügbar, ist keine Nostalgie. Es ist Handlungsfreiheit im Alltag, und eine Absicherung gegen technische oder politische Blockaden. Wer nur digital lebt, lebt auf Leihbasis, abhängig von Plattformen, Strom, Netz und Wohlverhalten. 3. Vertrauen ist keine Währung – prüfen ist Pflicht

Glaub keine Versprechen, die du nicht greifen kannst.

Frage: Wem gehört das, worauf du vertraust? Die Rente, das Sparkonto, die Police, das Depot, sind Konstrukte, nicht Sicherheiten. Wer sie nutzt, soll sie verstehen und nicht blind darauf bauen.

4. Eigenes sichern, Lokales stärken

Verbindungen im direkten Umfeld sind oft mehr wert als jede internationale Absicherung. Kennst du Menschen, mit denen man tauschen kann? Menschen, die mitdenken statt mitlaufen? Ein kleiner Garten, ein funktionierender Herd, ein stabiles Netzwerk aus Freunden ist im Ernstfall mehr wert als der neueste Finanztrend.

5. Wissen ist Schutzschild

Nicht alles glauben. Nicht alles teilen. Aber immer fragen: Wem nützt es? Was bedeutet es für mich? Was kann ich tun, und was kann ich lassen? In unsicheren Zeiten ist klares Denken wichtiger als jedes Depot.

Freiheit beginnt nicht mit Besitz, sondern mit Haltung.

Und wer heute noch klein genannt wird, kann morgen der Einzige sein, der klar sieht.

Gold kann man schürfen, lagern, zählen, verlieren. Vertrauen dagegen nicht. Und doch ist es das, worauf ganze Systeme gebaut sind, bis sie es verspielen.

Wenn heute vom „Gold-Kollaps“ gesprochen wird, geht es nicht um das Versagen eines Metalls. Es geht um die Krise eines Denkens, das den Wert von Dingen von außen definiert, nicht von innen. Es geht um ein System, das Sicherheit verspricht, aber keine trägt. Um Strukturen, die sich Legitimität leihen, solange niemand genau hinsieht.

Der kleine Mann, der heute um seine Unabhängigkeit bangt, ist vielleicht genau der, der sie schon hat. Weil er sich vorbereitet, weil er nicht jedem Signal folgt, und weil er weiß:

Freiheit beginnt dort, wo man nicht alles braucht, was man nicht kontrollieren kann.

Gold ist nur ein Spiegel. Was wirklich zählt, ist, ob du stehen bleibst, wenn andere einknicken. Ob du klar bleibst, wenn andere rufen. Und ob du erinnerst, dass Würde nicht gehandelt wird, sondern gelebt. 

The Harassment Game Sex, Power, and the War on Human Nature

By Robert Ziehe

There are few topics today that trigger more automatic outrage, blind agreement, or fear-driven silence than sexual harassment. It’s the loaded gun in every office, the shadow behind every compliment, the ghost in every HR training. And yet, despite decades of exposure, nobody seems to fully understand what we’re really dealing with.

We hear the usual slogans: “Believe women.” “Zero tolerance.” “Silence is violence.” And we nod. Out of fear, not agreement. Behind that nod is confusion, unease, and a question we’re not supposed to ask: What’s actually going on here?

This booklet is not written to defend abuse. It’s not written to protect predators or to trivialize the experiences of anyone who has suffered real harassment. What it is, is an attempt to restore logic, honesty, and clarity to a conversation that has been hijacked by ideology, corrupted by money, and repackaged for mass consumption.

Where It All Began

Sexual harassment, as a concept, is a modern creation. The term didn’t exist before the 1970s. It wasn’t in courtrooms, HR manuals, or news headlines. It was named by a group of female office workers at Cornell University in 1975. Before that, it was simply life. Unfair, messy, often cruel, but unnamed.

With the rise of second-wave feminism, the term gained traction. Activists like Catharine MacKinnon pushed it into the legal system, framing it as a form of sex discrimination under Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act. In 1980, the EEOC officially recognized it. In 1991, Anita Hill’s testimony against Clarence Thomas dragged it onto television screens. By the time the #MeToo movement exploded in 2017, the term had become gospel, a weapon and a shield, depending on who was holding it.

How It Evolved

The original idea wasn’t wrong. Nobody should have to trade their dignity for a paycheck. Nobody should be forced into silence by a boss with a zipper problem. But as the idea spread, it mutated. It moved from backrooms and courtrooms into boardrooms, classrooms, and algorithms. Companies didn’t embrace the issue out of empathy, they embraced it out of fear. Fear of lawsuits, fear of public backlash, fear of social media mob justice. And where there is fear, there are profits to be made.

HR departments institutionalized the language of feminism, corporate workshops turned ideology into procedure, and accusations no longer needed evidence, only perception. If someone says it was harassment, then it was. Intent was irrelevant. Context, dead. The accused? Often guilty by default.

And while the rest of us adjusted, something else happened in the shadows.

The Parts Nobody Talks About

First, there’s the sex industry. While politicians and HR departments condemned power imbalance as sexual abuse, porn producers were cashing in on the exact opposite. “Boss seduces intern.” “Hot secretary punishes strict CEO.” These are not fringe categories. They are some of the most searched fantasies in the world. The same structure society condemns in the office is fetishized in private. Outrage sells. So does forbidden pleasure.

Second, there’s the feminist industrial complex. What began as a movement for equality gave birth to an economy built on grievance. Professional feminists, columnists, consultants, influencers, made careers not on solving problems, but on ensuring they never go away. The more danger they could project, the more demand for their services. “Toxic masculinity” became a brand. “Mansplaining” a punchline. The message was clear: we don’t want your cooperation, we want your guilt.

Third, and perhaps most dangerously, came the erasure of human nuance. The workplace became sterile. Men were taught to fear eye contact, jokes, compliments. Women were taught to interpret every awkward moment as a threat. The natural messiness of human interaction, flirting, misunderstanding, chemistry, humor, was recoded as misconduct. Sex was pathologized. Trust replaced by legal disclaimers.

And all the while, someone was making money. From compliance software. From online courses. From clickbait headlines. From porn. From fear.

The Truth We’re Not Allowed to Say

This isn’t just about harassment. This is about the redesign of human connection. We are witnessing the industrialization of behavior, the sterilization of expression. The very instincts that make us human, attraction, risk, desire, initiative, are being rebranded as crimes.

And the result? We are more disconnected, more paranoid, more alone than ever. We watch fantasies online that we would never dare attempt in real life. We self-censor, not out of politeness, but self-preservation. And the tragedy is that the real victims, the people who are truly harassed, violated, threatened, are getting lost in the noise.

What We Should Do Instead

We need to stop pretending that fear is protection. We need to stop outsourcing justice to hashtags. We need to reclaim human judgment.

Sexual harassment is real. But so are false accusations. So is political exploitation. So is fantasy. If we want a fair world, we need a system that distinguishes between them.

That means:

• Evidence over perception.

• Proportionality over panic.

• Conversation over condemnation.

• Education over indoctrination.

Let’s stop punishing people for being human. Let’s start punishing those who manipulate systems for power, money, or revenge.

Conclusion

The sexual harassment discourse was born from pain. But it grew into a product. A weapon. A spectacle. It no longer seeks resolution, it seeks submission.

The only way forward is truth. Not emotional truth. Not social justice truth. Just truth, grounded in evidence, shaped by reason, and guided by integrity.

We are not fragile children in need of safe spaces. We are adults. Let’s start acting like it. 

 

Who Gains?

In a world flooded with news, advice, warnings, and opinions, it’s easy to get swept away by emotion.
Headlines are crafted to provoke fear, anger, or urgency.
Experts appear on screens, confident and reassuring.
Stories go viral in minutes.

But behind every loud message, there’s a quiet question most people forget to ask:
Who gains if I believe this?

It’s not about being cynical. It’s about being awake.

A simple pause can make all the difference whenever you hear a strong claim, whether it’s about technology, health, politics, the economy, or society.
A few seconds of reflection can reveal the real forces at play, hidden behind polished words.

Here are three invisible questions that sharpen your perception:

1. Who benefits if I believe this?
Who gains money, influence, control, or followers if I accept this version of the story?
The answer is rarely on the surface. It often lies in the structures behind the scenes, in industries, power groups, or individuals with something to gain.

2. What are they not telling me?
Every story is selective. Every narrative leaves something out.
What details are missing? What counterpoints are ignored?
If a message feels one-sided or oversimplified, there’s usually more to the picture.

3. Would I believe this if I weren’t afraid, angry, or sad?
Strong emotions can cloud judgment faster than any lie.
Imagine stepping outside your feelings for a moment, would the message still feel true, logical, and complete?

Asking these questions doesn’t mean rejecting everything you hear.
It means you take back the ability to think for yourself, instead of letting others think for you.

Next time you encounter a message that demands your belief, just take a breath
and quietly ask:
Who gains?

You might be surprised by what you find.

Sex at Work – Why It’s So Important

(And Why You’re Probably Not Having Enough of It)

Let’s get one thing straight:
This isn’t about steamy encounters by the coffee machine (though if that’s in your benefits package, congrats—you’re ahead of the curve).

No, I’m talking about energy.
That pulse of life, the spark that makes you feel like you’re actually doing something, not just being somewhere.
Because here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most workplaces are dead bedrooms.

No passion.
No creativity.
No risk.
Just meetings about meetings, cold coffee, and PowerPoint slides so dry they should come with a fire warning.

When was the last time you walked into work and felt desire?
To build. To challenge. To connect. To move something?
When was the last time you flirted with an idea so crazy it made you nervous—and you pitched it anyway?

Exactly.

Sex at work isn’t about bodies. It’s about aliveness.
About not sleepwalking through your job like a corporate zombie with good dental insurance.
It’s about being turned on by your mission, your team, your own damn potential.

Because here’s the kicker:
If you don’t feel something—tension, excitement, fire—you’re not working.
You’re just waiting for retirement.

Good teams have chemistry. Great ones have sexual tension.
(Not that kind. Keep HR out of this.)

The point is:
The best work doesn’t come from perfect planning.
It comes from friction. From passion. From connection.
From getting a little messy. From laughing at 2 AM while solving a problem no one else could.

So yeah, maybe it’s time we all had a little more sex at work.
Not with each other.
With the work itself.

---

Still reading?

Ask yourself:

• Did I open this hoping for a scandal?

• Do I feel slightly disappointed this wasn’t about actual sex?

• Am I more turned on by my job or my microwave?

If the answer to any of those questions worries you—
You might need a new job.
Or at least a cold shower.

Europe’s Not Preparing for War, It’s Preparing for Collapse

Again, I’m not into politics. But I’m into truth. And some things cannot stay unspoken.

Look around. The headlines scream about war, defense, and the need to “protect democracy.” But let’s stop pretending. Europe isn’t gearing up to fight Russia out of love for freedom. It’s scrambling because its own house is on fire.

The truth? The middle class is crushed. Inflation eats what little people have left. Rent, food, and energy are all rising. And instead of helping their people, the so-called leaders of France, Germany, the UK, and beyond are dumping billions into a war that serves no citizen.

And when one sovereign EU country like Hungary says “no more”, not to Moscow, but to blind obedience, they’re punished. Let that sink in: a member state sanctioned by its union because it refused to fund a foreign war. That’s not democracy. That’s blackmail.

Slovakia is breaking ranks. Poland’s pushing back. In Germany and France, the people are rallying behind voices like Le Pen or the AfD, because they see through the facade. And how do the elites react? They label them extremists.

They smear, censor, and prosecute, not because they’re dangerous to society, but because they’re dangerous to the system.

So they do what all collapsing systems do. They crank up the fear. “Russia is coming.” “Authoritarianism is rising.”

No, what’s rising is awareness. People are waking up. And it terrifies them.

But here’s the thing: We don’t need to riot. We don’t need to scream. We just need to speak the truth. Ask the real questions. And stop playing along.

Because once enough of us stop believing the lie, the machine breaks.

And they know it.

Nicht unmotiviert – sondern unerhört

Wir haben kein Motivationsproblem in dieser Gesellschaft.
Wir haben ein Systemproblem.

Ein System, das Menschen von klein auf dazu erzieht, Erwartungen zu erfüllen, statt ihrem inneren Ruf zu folgen. Schule, Ausbildung, Karriereleiter – alles ist durchgetaktet. Es zählt, was „funktioniert“. Nicht, was lebendig macht.

Ich habe es selbst erlebt: Wer aus der Spur tanzt, wer nicht in das enge Raster passt, wird schnell als „nicht leistungsfähig“, „nicht motiviert“ oder gar als „Low Performer“ abgestempelt. Dabei liegt das Problem nicht beim Einzelnen – sondern bei einer Struktur, die Individualität erstickt und echten Sinn gar nicht erst zulässt.

Diese Gesellschaft fragt nicht, was du willst, sondern sagt dir, was du zu wollen hast.
Und wer dabei auf der Strecke bleibt, wird später aussortiert, statt endlich ernst genommen zu werden.

Es geht nicht darum, Mitarbeiter zu motivieren. Es geht darum, endlich aufzuhören, Menschen zu brechen und dann zu wundern, warum sie keinen Bock mehr haben.

Motivation entsteht nicht durch Zielvereinbarungen und Boni.
Sie entsteht durch Sinn.
Durch Freiheit.
Durch Resonanz.

Aber all das ist in vielen Unternehmen, in Schulen, im öffentlichen Dienst längst verloren gegangen. Stattdessen: Prozesse, Messwerte, Kontrolle, Angst.

Und ja, es gibt „Leistungsprobleme“ – aber sie sind das Resultat einer Kultur, die den Menschen vergessen hat. Wer nicht gehört wird, kann auch nicht aufblühen. Wer nie gefragt wurde, wer er ist, verliert irgendwann die Lust, es überhaupt noch zu zeigen.

Ich sage ganz klar: Die Menschen sind nicht unmotiviert – sie sind unerhört.
Und das ist kein individuelles Problem, sondern ein kollektives Versagen.

Es ist an der Zeit, dieses Spiel zu durchbrechen.
Nicht morgen. Nicht irgendwann. Jetzt.
Wir brauchen keine weiteren Tools zur Mitarbeitermotivation.
Wir brauchen einen radikalen Kurswechsel im Menschenbild.

Weg vom Funktionieren.
Hin zum Leben.

Ich habe mich entschieden, diesen Irrsinn nicht mehr mitzutragen – und ich weiß, ich bin nicht allein.

Dispel Discouragement

I’ve failed more times than I can count. And for the longest time, I thought failure meant I wasn’t good enough. Every mistake, every misstep, every rejection felt like proof that I should just quit.

But then, I became a father.

When I watched my daughters growing up, I saw them fail constantly—falling while learning to walk, struggling to pronounce words, trying again and again to do things their little hands and minds weren’t quite ready for. But never once did I look at them and say, “Well, that was pathetic. You’ll never get this right.”

No, I encouraged them. “Almost! Try again. You’re getting there.” I never saw their failures as real failures—just part of the process of growing. And then, one day, it hit me like a brick: Why don’t I treat myself the same way?

For years, I had been my own worst critic. Every time I failed at something—a business attempt, a creative project, a personal goal—I let it eat away at me. I convinced myself I wasn’t capable. I let discouragement win. But watching my daughters taught me something crucial: Failure is not the opposite of success. It’s the path to it.

Think about it. A baby playing a game with their parents tries to pick up a ball but doesn’t have the grip strength yet. They fail. Over and over. But does anyone think that means they’ll never succeed? Of course not. We know they’ll get there. We see every attempt as progress, even if they don’t yet.

So why do we forget that when it comes to ourselves?

When I finally understood this, everything changed. I stopped beating myself up for failing and started recognizing that every setback was simply a step forward in disguise. I began treating myself with the same patience and encouragement I gave my daughters. And suddenly, success became possible—because I was no longer stopping myself before I had the chance to reach it.

The truth is, most people never realize how important failure is. They give up too soon, thinking that a few failed attempts mean they aren’t cut out for something. But every person who has ever succeeded has failed first—many, many times.

So next time you stumble, ask yourself: Am I treating myself like a loving parent treats a child learning to walk, or am I tearing myself down? Because the way you interpret failure determines whether you keep going or give up.

And trust me—if you keep going, you’ll get there.

Knowledge vs. Experience – The Real Difference

We live in an era where knowledge is abundant. Information is at our fingertips, available in books, online courses, and endless social media posts. Yet, despite all this knowledge, true expertise and mastery remain rare. Why? Because knowledge alone is just raw material—experience is what shapes it into something meaningful.

Knowledge provides the foundation, but it is experience that refines and transforms it into wisdom. Reading about leadership doesn’t make you a great leader, just as watching fitness videos doesn’t make you strong. Learning the theory behind a skill is valuable, but without practice, it remains theoretical. Experience teaches the nuances that knowledge alone cannot. A skilled craftsman doesn’t just follow instructions—they feel the material. A great leader doesn’t just apply strategies from books—they adapt them to real-life situations. A seasoned entrepreneur understands risk, not because they’ve read about it, but because they’ve lived through success and failure.

Failure itself is a better teacher than theory. Knowledge tells you what should work, but experience teaches you what actually works. The lessons learned through mistakes, struggles, and hands-on practice cannot be replicated in a classroom or a book. Mastery is not achieved by simply acquiring information; it is the result of knowledge combined with repetition, failure, and adaptation.

Many chase shortcuts, believing they can move from knowledge to expertise without putting in the necessary time and effort. But without consistent practice and real-world application, knowledge remains incomplete. The only way to bridge the gap between knowledge and experience is through action. Start before you feel ready, apply what you learn immediately, and embrace mistakes as stepping stones rather than setbacks. Books and courses can provide guidance, but only through hands-on experience do we truly internalize and refine our understanding.

Knowledge is important, but without experience, it’s like having a map without ever traveling the road. True wisdom is not measured by what you know, but by what you’ve done, learned from, and refined over time. So, whatever your passion or pursuit—take action, immerse yourself in the process, and let experience shape your knowledge into mastery.

Yet, despite its undeniable value, experience is often overlooked in today’s job market. Many companies prioritize fresh ideas and innovation over seasoned expertise, failing to recognize that innovation without experience is like a blueprint without an engineer. One of the biggest mistakes HR departments make is dismissing those who have already mastered their craft, believing that knowledge alone is enough. But the reality is, no matter how groundbreaking an idea may be, without experience to guide its execution, it will remain just that—an idea, lacking the wisdom and practicality needed to bring it to life.

Leadership is Dead – So Why Do We Keep Talking About It?

Scroll through LinkedIn, and you’ll see endless posts about leadership—what makes a great leader, what to do, what to avoid. And yet… where are all these great leaders?

If leadership is such a hot topic, why do we still see terrible leadership everywhere? If companies truly valued good leadership, wouldn’t we see real change? Instead, we see organizations filled with uninspiring, ineffective, and sometimes outright toxic leaders. So what’s going wrong?

The Leadership Paradox

Despite all the talk, leadership in many organizations remains a title, not a responsibility:

1. Promotions Reward the Wrong Skills
   Most leadership roles go to those who play the corporate game well, not those who can actually lead. A great salesperson becomes a sales manager, even if they lack the ability to develop people. A technical expert gets put in charge of a team, even though they struggle with communication. Leadership is treated as a reward, not a skill.

2. Companies Value Compliance Over Competence
   Real leaders challenge outdated processes, push for innovation, and advocate for their teams—but many organizations prefer managers who simply enforce policies, hit short-term targets, and avoid making waves. The result? Stagnation, low morale, and high turnover.

3. Leadership Advice is Mostly Performance
   The worst leaders often post the most about leadership. They talk about emotional intelligence, mentorship, and empowerment—while their teams suffer under micromanagement, poor decision-making, and toxic cultures. If leadership advice worked, why don’t we see more actual leaders?

4. No Real Consequences for Bad Leadership
   How often do toxic managers get removed? Almost never. If they hit their KPIs (even by burning out employees and creating a miserable work environment), they stay. Employees leave, but the system keeps rewarding the same ineffective behaviors.

So, What’s the Real Issue?

If leadership is so important, why hasn’t the quality of leadership improved?

👉 Is leadership just corporate theater—good for LinkedIn but ignored in practice?
👉 Are companies too comfortable with bad leadership because it keeps the machine running?
👉 Is the leadership industry (books, courses, seminars) just another self-feeding cycle of advice that rarely translates into action?

Now Over to You

• Have you ever had a terrible leader? What do you think allowed them to rise and stay in power?

• If you’re in leadership, what are you actively doing to challenge this problem and be different?

• What’s the real reason companies keep failing at leadership?

Let’s have an honest conversation. Drop your thoughts in the comments. And if you were about to post another generic leadership quote… maybe sit this one out. 😉

AI Fear-Mongering: A Tool for Control or a Genuine Threat?

Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more videos, articles, and so-called "expert opinions" warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. The message is almost always the same: AI is a ticking time bomb, a threat to humanity, and if we don’t regulate it strictly, it will either take over or be used in destructive ways.

At first glance, these warnings might seem reasonable—after all, any powerful technology can be dangerous in the wrong hands. But as someone who has been actively using AI models like ChatGPT and others, my own experience tells a different story. AI is not an uncontrollable monster lurking in the shadows, waiting to destroy us. In fact, it is a tool—one that has the potential to empower individuals, decentralize knowledge, and weaken the grip of those who thrive on controlling information and power.

So why are we being bombarded with AI fear-mongering?

Throughout history, fear has been one of the most effective tools to control the masses. When people are afraid, they are more willing to accept restrictions, surveillance, and loss of freedoms, all under the guise of "protection."

Think about the narratives we've seen before:

• Terrorism justified mass surveillance and wars.
• Pandemics justified lockdowns, movement restrictions, and emergency laws.
• Climate change is being used to push centralized global policies.
• Now, AI is the next fear campaign.

We are constantly told AI is too dangerous, too unpredictable, and too risky to be left in the hands of ordinary people. But who benefits from this message? The same governments, corporations, and elite institutions that don’t want AI to be freely accessible.

They don’t want you to use AI to automate your work, challenge mainstream narratives, or educate yourself beyond their controlled systems. They want you to fear it—so they can justify regulating it, restricting it, and keeping its power for themselves.

What they don’t tell you is that AI is already leveling the playing field in ways that threaten the existing power structures.

It allows individuals to automate tasks, generate content, and create businesses at a fraction of the cost.
It enables people to bypass traditional gatekeepers in media, education, and politics.
It gives access to knowledge that was once restricted to a privileged few.

If AI were truly as dangerous as they claim, why are corporations and governments investing billions in it while simultaneously telling the public it needs to be controlled? The hypocrisy is obvious:

• Elon Musk warns about AI risks but is building his own AI empire (xAI).
• Governments push for AI regulations while secretly using AI for cyberwarfare, surveillance, and propaganda.
• Mainstream media claims AI is untrustworthy, yet they are integrating it into their own workflows.

The message is clear: AI is dangerous for you, but perfectly fine for them.

AI itself is not the problem. The real problem is who gets to control it. If only governments, intelligence agencies, and billion-dollar corporations have unrestricted access, then AI truly does become a tool for oppression.

Imagine:

• AI-powered surveillance systems that track every move you make.
• Automated censorship that wipes out dissenting opinions before they even reach the public.
• AI-driven social credit systems that reward compliance and punish free thought.

These are not science fiction concepts—they are already happening in places like China, where AI is used to enforce government control. And if people don’t engage with AI now, they risk waking up one day to a world where it’s too late to push back.

The only way to ensure AI remains a tool for freedom rather than oppression is for as many people as possible to learn how to use it.

• Learn to integrate AI into your daily life.
• Use AI to create, educate, and innovate.
• Question the narratives that seek to demonize AI.

If the masses refuse to engage with AI out of fear, they leave it in the hands of the very entities that want to control them. Instead of fearing AI, we need to become AI-literate and shape its development in a way that benefits humanity, not just a powerful few.

This is not a time to sit back and hope for the best. It’s a time to act, to learn, and to ensure AI remains a tool of empowerment, not control.

We are at a crossroads. Either we allow governments and corporations to monopolize AI under the pretext of "safety," or we take ownership of this technology and use it to break free from outdated systems of control.

The first step is to stop fearing AI and start using it. Because the more people who embrace AI, the harder it will be for those in power to manipulate it for their own benefit.

The real danger is not AI itself. The real danger is letting fear keep us from using it.

Sometimes, the Best Move is No Move at All

Ever noticed how some of life’s biggest “problems” seem to dissolve the moment you stop giving them attention? How, when you take a step back, the world has a way of sorting things out without your interference?

I’ve experienced this more times than I can count. Whenever I sat back, relaxed, and simply observed, most of the so-called "problems" I thought needed my urgent response either solved themselves or turned out to be nothing more than temporary situations. And let’s be honest—most problems aren’t really problems at all. They’re just moments, events, and passing challenges that don’t require our emotional energy.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that every challenge demands immediate action. The moment something goes wrong—be it at work, in relationships, or in daily life—we feel compelled to do something about it. But how often has reacting impulsively actually made things worse?

Think about the last time you jumped into a problem headfirst, stressed over it, tried to control it… only to realize later that it either resolved on its own or wasn’t as bad as you thought. Our minds tend to exaggerate difficulties, making us believe that everything is urgent, when in reality, very little actually requires immediate action.

There’s a reason why the wisest individuals across history—from stoic philosophers to spiritual teachers—advocated for stillness and observation over reaction. When you observe instead of react, you allow clarity to emerge.

• You stop feeding unnecessary energy into situations that don’t deserve it.
• You gain a higher perspective, seeing things for what they are—not what your emotions make them out to be.
• You allow solutions to unfold naturally, rather than forcing them from a place of stress.

As we head into the weekend, why not try this simple experiment? Whenever you feel the urge to react to something, pause. Don’t answer that frustrating message immediately. Don’t jump into solving that minor inconvenience. Just observe, breathe, and see if the situation shifts on its own.

• Traffic jam? Instead of getting angry, observe your surroundings. Enjoy the music, use the time to think.
• Work issue? Give it 24 hours before responding. Many problems solve themselves without your intervention.
• Someone annoying you? Before you react, ask: Does this even matter tomorrow?
  
  
  

This weekend, make it a game. How many problems can you let solve themselves? Watch as situations unfold without your immediate input. You might be surprised at how much smoother life becomes when you stop trying to control everything.

Remember: Not everything needs a reaction. Sometimes, the best move is to do nothing at all.

Enjoy your weekend—calm, relaxed, and in control.

 

No One Changes Unless They Want To – My Wake-Up Call to Self-Responsibility

There was a time in my life when I believed that if I just waited long enough, things would change. That if I proved myself worthy, if I was patient, or if I explained my struggles well enough, someone would eventually step in and make things right for me. But years ago, I had my wake-up call, the moment I realized that nobody was coming to save me. No amount of hoping, complaining, or waiting would change my life. Unless I did.

I can still remember the exact moment this realization hit me. It wasn’t dramatic. No lightning bolt, no grand revelation. Just me, looking around at my life and asking myself a simple but life-altering question: If I don’t change this, who will?

The answer was obvious. No one.

Not because people didn’t care, not because I didn’t deserve better, but because change only happens when we decide it must. I saw it everywhere. People stuck in jobs they hated, waiting for the right opportunity to appear. Friends in toxic relationships, hoping their partner would finally change. Talented individuals drowning in self-doubt, waiting for someone else to validate them. The pattern was clear. Nobody changes unless they decide to. No external force, no amount of love, logic, guilt, or pressure, can replace the deep, personal realization that something has to be different.

At first, this truth felt heavy. It meant that every excuse I had made, every reason I gave for why things weren’t working, was no longer valid. It was all in my hands. The weight of that responsibility was overwhelming, but then something incredible happened. I stopped waiting. I stopped blaming. I started doing.

I made the calls. I took the risks. I stopped caring what people thought and started caring what I thought. I shifted from hoping for change to creating change.

It is a strange thing to realize that no one is coming to fix your life. At first, it feels like a burden. But then, once you fully accept it, it becomes the most freeing realization you will ever have. Because if no one is coming to save you, then you are free to take full control. You are the one who gets to decide how this story goes. The limitations you once believed in start to lose their power, and suddenly, the excuses that held you back seem small and insignificant.

If you take nothing else from this, take this: your life will not change until you change. No one is coming to save you, but that is not a tragedy. It is a gift. It means you are the one with the power to turn things around. You are the one who can rewrite your story. The moment you realize this, everything shifts.

So stop waiting. Stop making excuses. Stop hoping for the right moment. There is no right moment, no perfect opportunity, no magical sign that will make everything clear. The only thing that matters is the decision to start.

Look around at your life. Identify one thing you have been waiting to change, your job, your mindset, your health, your relationships. Then do something today that your future self will thank you for. No one changes unless they want to. And no one wants to more than the person who finally realizes they can.

Your move.

The Courage to Rest

I’m exhausted today. Completely drained. I had other topics in mind to write about, but my brain isn’t cooperating. And instead of forcing myself through it, I decided to do something different: write about rest.

Because if I need it today, maybe you do too.

I’ll admit it—resting has never been my strong suit. I was raised on the idea that pushing through, working harder, and staying busy was the only way to get ahead. Rest? That’s what you do when you’re done. Except… you’re never really done, are you?

There’s always something else to do, another project to finish, another goal to chase. And that’s where the problem starts. When you’re constantly running on empty, pushing just a little further each day, you don’t notice the toll it’s taking—until you crash.

Today, my body and mind made the decision for me. I could try to push through, force myself to write something deep and challenging, but that wouldn’t serve me—or you. Instead, I’m reminding myself (and you) of something important:

Rest isn’t weakness. It’s strategy.

Think about it.

• Athletes train hard, but their real growth happens in recovery.
• Muscles don’t build during workouts—they build during rest.
• The most brilliant ideas don’t come when we’re overworked but when we finally step away and let our minds breathe.

So why do we think we’re different? Why do we treat exhaustion as something to be proud of?

I know what you might be thinking—But I have things to do! If I stop, I’ll fall behind. I think that too.

But here’s what I’ve learned:

• Rest doesn’t slow you down. It prepares you to go further.
• A well-rested mind is smarter, sharper, and more creative than an exhausted one.
• When you give yourself permission to pause, you don’t just recover—you come back stronger.

I don’t need to push through today. Neither do you.

If you’re feeling tired, overwhelmed, or just running on fumes, take this as your sign. Rest is not the enemy. It’s the fuel that will get you where you actually want to go.

And if your body is telling you it’s time to slow down—listen.

Because real strength isn’t in pushing through exhaustion. It’s in knowing when to stop.

What Makes Us—US?

Other people see us in many different ways. Some see us as quiet, others as loud and annoying. Some might see us as the most gentle people on Earth, while others see us as totally different. Some might not even see us at all.

Think about it. To one person, you might be the most reliable friend they have. To another, you could be the one who never answers messages on time. Some may see you as kind and considerate, while others might think you're distant or even cold. In a crowded room, some notice your presence immediately, while others wouldn’t recognize you if they passed you on the street the next day.

So, which of these versions is the real you?

For most of my life, I thought I had a firm grasp on who I was. I had my values, my beliefs, my way of navigating the world. But the more I paid attention, the more I realized that who I am depends on who is looking. And if my identity shifts from one observer to the next, how much of it is really mine to claim?

Even my own self-perception isn’t necessarily the truth. My mind tells stories about me—sometimes uplifting, sometimes limiting. It recalls past failures louder than past successes, or vice versa, depending on the mood I’m in. It shapes an image of myself, but isn’t that just another projection? No more real than the ideas others have about me?

The more I think about it, the more I suspect that being human means never having a fixed definition. We evolve. We adapt. We contradict ourselves. Maybe the attempt to define ourselves is where we go wrong. Maybe not being able to be pinned down is exactly what makes us us. Maybe this is why it is so hard to answer the question: Who are you?

So, if there is no single version of you that is absolute, then perhaps the real question isn’t Who am I? but rather Do I even need to be just one thing?

Who knows? Who cares? Just be!

 

Care is the Most Dangerous Thing You Possess – And No One Told You Why

You care for your family and friends. That’s good. You care about those in need, the helpless, the suffering. That’s good too. You care about what others think of you, about fitting in, about keeping up with the expectations of a world that does not care about you. That is not good.

To care is what makes you human. It is what connects you to others, what gives meaning to your actions. But there is something they never told you: care is not just a feeling—it is the force that shapes your life. And if you care about the wrong things, you will destroy yourself without ever realizing why.

From the moment you were born, you were programmed to care—not about truth, not about real power, not about the things that could set you free—but about distractions. You were taught to care about status, about approval, about what the world expects from you. You were given endless things to worry about—politics, media, entertainment, conflict—so that you never look at the one thing that truly matters: the fact that what you care about is what grows.

Look at your life. Look at the world around you. What dominates your thoughts? What drains your energy? What takes up your time? You may think you’re making your own choices, but if your care is being controlled, so is your reality.

This is why you feel stuck. This is why change seems impossible. Not because you lack strength, intelligence, or potential—but because your focus has been hijacked. You have been taught to care just enough to be worried, to be distracted, to feel overwhelmed… but never enough to act.

And the most dangerous part? You believe this is normal. You believe that caring about the noise, the drama, the distractions is just part of life. But what if it’s not? What if this is exactly how they keep you powerless?

We all live by the laws of nature, whether we know it or not. We are bound by the seven Hermetic principles, the unseen forces that govern everything. Most people have heard of them—Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, Gender. But what no one ever told you is that there is one principle that binds them all, the one force that determines everything in your life: Care.

Care is not just an emotion—it is the engine of creation, the unseen force that moves reality itself. Where it flows, energy follows. Where energy flows, reality forms.

This is the truth they never wanted you to know.
