Retranscription

I believe that today, in the early 21st century, we are dealing with a superimposition of at least three crises that are interrelated but not identical. On the one hand, of course, we have the ecological crisis, which can no longer be overlooked and has actually become tangible in all parts of the world. Particularly in climate change, but also in species extinction, for example. We are aware of all these diagnoses that say we may be approaching dangerous tipping points, beyond which it is no longer possible to say how the climate will develop. The second thing is: I believe we have a political crisis or a social crisis in the way people treat each other. And this can also be seen on two levels: one in the democracies themselves and, one in the established democracies. In the USA, President Trump has just been elected for the second time and many people think that this is somehow not the right form of democracy as it was intended. And above all, we are seeing enormous aggression in the way people treat each other, to the point where politicians are being shot at. That also happened in Germany during the last round of elections. And we see a kind of essential dissatisfaction with the existing political system. There are studies on political culture that make it clear that the problem lies in the fact that people no longer see each other as human beings, as citizens with different political views. Instead, they see each other as enemies of humanity on the other side, who even arouse disgust and massive rejection. And that means you can see that there is a crisis in the way social exchange and democracy are handled. And this has its continuation, so to speak, in the area of military conflicts, which have also returned to Europe on a massive scale. You can say that there have always been wars. That's true, even in modern times, even in Europe, if you think of the war in Yugoslavia. And there's no need to mention Afghanistan and Iraq. But the difference really is, as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz put it very clearly, Zeitenwende, that up to and including the war in Yugoslavia, we thought that unfortunately there were still wars. We need to improve the security architecture, that of the UN, that of Europe, in order to overcome this in the future. We have seen wars in the past as remnants of a fatal age. And the concept of a new era says, no, that's what lies ahead of us. We have to become fit for war. That's a huge difference in cultural perception. We are now entering the age of epidemics with Covid, the age of war with Olaf Scholz and the others and the age of ecological catastrophe. And we also have a crisis, what I would call a psychological crisis. This means that burnout rates are extremely high worldwide, with the exception of a few African countries, by the way. But in all other parts of the world, people have the feeling that they can't go on like this, they can't go on, they're running out of energy. And I interpret this as the result of an aggressive relationship with the world. In our entire state of mind, we are in a state of aggression towards the world, towards nature, which we abuse extractively and then poison, so to speak. To other people, who we always encounter as obstacles or enemies. And also towards ourselves. We are never enough for ourselves. We have to change our body, improve our psyche, optimise ourselves. And this relationship of aggression is a consequence of permanent growth and the compulsion to accelerate, an…
