Über KI und den Verlust der Mitte. Wir bauen Maschinen (LLMs), die halluzinieren, weil wir selbst die Wahrheit nicht mehr ertragen. Die KI ist der Spiegel unserer eigenen Orientierungslosigkeit. Was ist Technologie ohne Telos anderes als Beschleunigung in den Abgrund?
Unterschätze China nicht. Sie spielen Go, wir spielen Mensch-ärgere-dich-nicht.
Es ist wie im alten Rom, das griechische Götter übernahm. China "frisst" die westliche Popkultur, verdaut sie und scheidet Geld aus. Disneyland in Shanghai ist kein amerikanischer Außenposten, sondern eine Trophäe des Kaisers. Der Westen liefert die Unterhaltung, China kassiert die Rendite.
Europa ist träge, das System ist marode, die Zukunft sieht düster aus. Aber genau das macht die Verteidigung so essentiell. Man verteidigt das Haus nicht, weil es neu ist, sondern weil man darin wohnt.
Der Humanismus der Zukunft ist nicht mehr expansiv (missionarisch), sondern defensiv (protektionistisch). Er ist eine Burg, die ihre Brücken hochzieht, um die Werte im Inneren zu bewahren, während draußen die Stürme toben.
Der Ausweg aus der deutschen "Hypermoral" ist ökonomischer Schmerz, nicht intellektuelle Einsicht. Moral ist ein Luxusgut, wenn es ums Überleben geht.

Strategic Sovereignty: Diversify critical supply chains Cybersecurity: Protect critical infrastructure as top national priority Cognitive Resilience: Shared narratives that strengthen societal cohesion What’s your next move to collaborate to close this vulnerability before another systemic shock?
Action over Reaction: Instead of only correcting disinformation, we must also shape narratives that are both understandable and capable of uniting us.
We must radically redefine our understanding of security and remodel structures that were designed for peaceful times. These dated structures now allow our adversaries to utilise attack vectors to systematically exploit our structural weaknesses.
China's power lies in the global supply chains. Cutting off the supply of essential items like antibiotics, rare earth elements, or critical semiconductors has devastating and immediate consequences.
It does not take two parties to be in conflict; Russia is already waging war against the West. Russia's playbook relies on targeted cyberattacks, sabotage (specifically of subsea cables and critical infrastructure), disinformation, and sowing division within our societies. That’s the new frontline.

The debate about military "readiness" is crucial, yet it overlooks an inconvenient truth: We are already at war. In the 21st century, war does not require a formal declaration. It is hybrid and targets the systemic vulnerabilities of our societies. It does not take two parties to be in conflict.
