Марк Твен умел несколькими словами выразить истинную суть любого явления, охарактеризовать человека или описать ситуацию так, что это становилось афоризмом.

Он как будто подносил зеркало и говорил: смотрите, люди, вы вот какие, исправьтесь. Никто вам не поможет: ни царь, ни бог, ни герой, ни демократия. Давайте сами. Предлагаем и вам, дорогие читатели, посмотреться в это зеркало. Приобщиться к искусству размышлять о времени и о себе.

In Philosophie der Freiheit – Grundzüge einer modernen Weltanschauung (1894) entfaltet Rudolf Steiner seine erkenntnistheoretischen und ethischen Überlegungen zu Individualität, Moral und geistiger Freiheit.

Steiner zeigt, dass wahre Freiheit aus innerer Einsicht und geistiger Aktivität erwächst – nicht als bloße Willkür, sondern als individuelles, verantwortungsvolles Handeln.

Warnings is the story of the future of national security, threatening technologies, the US economy, and possibly the fate of civilization. In Greek mythology Cassandra foresaw calamities, but was cursed by the gods to be ignored. Modern-day Cassandras clearly predicted the disasters of Katrina, Fukushima, the Great Recession, the rise of ISIS, and many more. Like the mythological Cassandra, they were ignored. There are others right now warning of impending disasters, but how do we know which warnings are likely to be right?

"Factfulness" handler om verden, og hvordan vi kan blive bedre til at forstå den, som den virkelig er. Når man stiller folk simple spørgsmål om globale tendenser, giver de altid de forkerte svar.
