III - Flash memory powers of reason

There are many words that hold contrary to its function is not what they promise, as it were, not where it says what's inside. The word "rational" I do, however much because it is so honest. It promises exactly what it means, no more and no less: people are rational. A talent is something you can use the ... but need not.

In "The Decline of the West" (no, I have the Ham is not recognized) Oswald Spengler predicted in 1918 has those same in the absence of a obstrusen, metaphysical "cosmic force" for this purpose, for the reason that a culture developed from an initial phase of deep religiosity, to an education, a stage, then, of an educated minority has come superstition and irrationality, and that represents the peak of each culture, but then turns into a "civilization" called period of peace and of decay, in the end the irreligion of the majority of the population in a second wave of mysticism, because rationality can not be preserved permanently maintained in a crowd.

Interestingly, I had a similar beginning to think before I heard about this old pessimistic theory. If I now believe, depends on my current mood. That here I have for future use once noted, apparently in a bad mood:


How to write the future history of our time? I think probably not, at least not about the freedom we had, but through the power of business and perhaps the more accessible by removing the freedom of action by the policy. Real freedom is too short to have been nonexistent. Extrapolated times Schily and Schäuble over a few centuries. The Heyday of the Roman Empire lasted 200 years. Democracy and stability in Europe, as we, as normal, and still takes time so far just a few decades. And already they will be dismantled at a rate that a well from a non-historical perspective dizzy.

tempting to even this comparison is with old civilizations. Probably would even we, the offset of life overflowing and beautiful streets of Rome in its heyday, problems to imagine that the buildings would be disintegrated around us in a relatively short time and even more advanced Roman culture would as such almost forgotten , saved in the rudiments of Christianity and the Arab world.

Now we look at ourselves and our ideals and our buildings can not imagine why all of this in 100 or 200 years will be no more? "The Germans complain too much," I've heard complaining for some time a German. Complain about the degradation of democracy by lobbying, inequality and monitoring? No wailing could be loud enough over here and I hear out there! As predicted in the Enlightenment itself was torn Certainly it also Romans, who knew the right steps, which would have prevented the sinking, there was something to avoid. But her wailing is heard no longer, like the wailing of a know and pessimists is heard nowadays. The glorious Roman Empire was in its heyday a zombie: dead to remember, without that it is dead. We also notice anything, perhaps it is even the glory that comes with a high culture to their own destruction. No one can imagine dazzled by the splendor that it will soon be over it.

Spengler called it the disappearance of the cultivable population. I call it the Federal Constitutional Court on wobbly legs, over and over again has to correct policies that are not only against the spirit so against the ideas and guidelines, violates the Constitution but also against the hard limits that lies this fundamental law. The media and the people who do not respond to this with "scandal"-calling, but with indifference, apathy and disinterest.

I have sometimes thought that democracy can be the solution to the eternal ebb and flow of civilizations. But probably thought that every civilization on its own. But I do not see any force that could turn things around. Only the people and the nation itself is only a puppet of the influences that bring it to control our high culture into extinction.

not get me wrong, I will not "We will all die!" Call. But our principles die before our Anyone's eyes and itchy. I just do not know right where to lead it, if not in a slow or rapid degeneration, as long as a significant counter-movement fails.

Pokemon Silver Vba Cheats That Actually Work



ask me now, whether I would have settled for yet again, in Germany, if I missed France. Well, yes, I think so fond memories of Paris, the beautiful buildings, the things I have seen on the flair and the Seine. But I can not say that I had trouble getting used to again in my life in Bielefeld.

Today I saw in the park but before the Uni a woman with a slightly bent upper body and arms are outstretched on the grass and for a fraction of a second shot me "Boule" by the head. But then I remembered that the parks are crowded here in nice weather so do not boule-playing old men and this has made me strangely sad somehow. Because the park suddenly seemed so empty.

Kendo

Monday was my second Kendo training and now I also own Shinai that last night I very carefully sanded, oiled and reassembled by hand did. Even the leather is beautifully white, but that will be comfortable in no time.

I am still very excited, because everything is so new, but I'm good things to have finally found a sport that I enjoy. The whole Rumgeschreie that go with it, is indeed first a bit daunting, but I think you get used as quickly to it. And that alone it will be difficult for even an ordinary Kiai smash, is indeed already a clear Sign that there is a deficit that must be overcome.

any case, it's been really fun, and as I said even if I'm still lousy, I have the impression that they are making progress. And last time I even got a compliment on my timing. Wow.

dynamics and competition by funding

How many hours was German university staff do not investigate properly, because of sophisticated applications for clusters of excellence wrote? Just a thought. Because I was not there when it was used, but which alone already noticeable burden on the faculty decency, as the new courses should be accredited for a fat requests had to be written ... And with such a sloppy application slapped together one can break (hopefully) in the monies not excellence. Well, our faculty, the work could have saved, but you do not know before. And we have a lot of universities in Germany of which would certainly be very much something abhaben of the cake.

other hand, I can not imagine to look exactly like the dynamics of of the DFG President here speaks . Has anyone more or even better researched, so that he gets the funding? As well, something's not from today to tomorrow. What you can do for such a request flatter, and polish facade. And for that halt squander time that could have been better invested unelitär in his research.

Addendum 17th October: interesting to hear from Holger his commentary, that it was indeed the expected effort for the universities. Now remained for me the question, how could praise Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker, President of the DFG as the action so high, where he ought to know as opposed to politics, as the with the research or not research, because you just write requests, work. I wanted to learn, then, what the heck is the man that the general Prof somewhere and ... yes, in fact, he is C4-Prof ... at the University of Munich!

I had read in the press that the decisions are suspected of insider relationships influence within the DFG to have been. be sufficient that such a modest ropes already seems to me, however, was not clear. From Munich to Munich, it's not as far as we know since Edmund Stoiber .

But whether this Kungeltheorie right now or not, why not sincere about Winnacker can outraged the allocation of funds is so perfectly clear. Why he did so candidly gives his two cents, though it includes its own university and its Nachbaruni to the three chosen ones, I still do not know.

second Addendum: Munich Winnacker the way, is not only President of the DFG, but was also the chairman of the Appropriations Committee. The chairman of the Science Council Peter Stroh outraged now today to the taz that were the proceedings "been clean" and all decisions "taken strictly scientific" (which also always helps a scientific methodology in such decisions). Stroh is Professor of Germanic ... exactly, the University of Munich.
