Thomas Brasch: I don’t want to lose what I have, but—I don’t want to stay where I am, but—I don’t want to leave those I love, but—I don’t want to see those I know anymore, but—I don’t want to die where I live, but—I don’t want to go where I die:—I want to stay where I’ve never been.

I’m happy for the people in G. I’m happy for the people in I. And yes, maybe that’s a solution for our world: an autocrat and narcissist decides to play out his potential for power and thereby creates peace. As far as I’m concerned, he can even get the Nobel Prize. It’s peace that counts.

A very simple way to ensure more peace in the world: ban all religions, especially the monotheistic ones.

Why is it actually possible that new sanctions keep getting announced? Why hasn’t complete isolation taken place long ago? Oh right, there are still war profiteers. This hypocritical morality—is it a hidden exception, or the very core of the human problem?

On the one hand, they extol noble ethics and rail against AI. On the other hand, aside from the tone of their publications, they are profit-driven, run corporations, and duck away when it comes to responsibility.
