Bringing nuclear fusion to market as quickly as possible should be a human project the likes of which the world has never seen.
I wrote a longer essay on how, previously, cities attracted ambitious people who went on to create "the future".
I believe to evolve as a human species, we must allow this collaboration of the smartest and most ambitious to take place independent of location, which creates a massive mastermind.

The Value Dividend Strategy — Marius Schober
Until now, value stocks and dividend stocks have been looked at as separate disciplines. I closed this gap and looked in my 2017 study at 1,100 publicly listed companies in the United States and in Europe to find out how important dividends are for the value…
Just a few minutes ago, Twitter announced that they are forbidding to link to other social media platforms. I think this is a big mistake and absolutely wrong. Instead of a closed platform and a closed internet, we need more open platforms. This is one of the reasons why I will always self-host my personal blog with WordPress. Even though I have only 11 subscribers in this Telegram channel, I will shift my focus toward this channel and – obviously – my blog. Thanks to each of you for your interest in what I have to share. I wish each of you a beautiful evening, day, or morning – depending on where you are.
Good morning from Tenerife!
Today is another beautiful Monday. Which also means it is a new start into a new week. This week is special, as it is Christmas week. Only five days until Christmas – unbelievably how fast the time goes.
We booked a flight to Germany on the 22nd. If everything goes well, we’ll spend Christmas with our family in Germany. They announced some strikes at the airports, but I’m sure it will all turn out alright, and we will fly just as planned.
But before this flight, I have many tasks which I still need to cross off my checklist. Yesterday, I launched a sales course for startup founders, which still needs to get promoted. Then there are several frogs – important tasks I procrastinated for too long because I didn’t want to do them – I should better cross off, before I go into Christmas.
After that, I’m completely free. Like a bird. No commitments, nothing.
I will use the days between Christmas and New Year to contemplate and plan the new year 2023. I have many interesting and promising ideas. I’m absolutely excited for 2023. I never felt better.
But first, let’s tackle this week.
I wish you a beautiful start into the week.
May God, Allah and Krishna bless you.

Force and Authenticity
When you do something, there are always two ways of doing it.
Either you have to force yourself, or it feels natural to you.
If you force yourself to do something, then what you do is not authentic to you.
People sense this inauthenticity, which makes everything you do even harder.
When you really, from the core of your soul, want to do something, then there is no force.
Because there is no force, there is flow.
It feels like play to you, even if it is incredibly hard.
For those looking from the outside, what you do will look easy.
When there is no force, then there is authenticity.
When there is authenticity, everything will fall into place.

Global Citizen Journalists
For the last two years, I thought about setting up a global network of citizen journalists. One journalist per country. Every journalist is reporting on what is happening in his country on a monthly basis – covering everything from problems and corruption to progress and opportunities.
Today, it’s easy to recognize the problems of one’s own country. But when it comes to other countries, it’s really tough to get an accurate picture of the real situation in that country. You don’t speak their language, you don’t talk to local people who actually live there, you cannot follow independent insider news, and you are not aware of critical journalism in that country. Which means you have to rely on Wikipedia or corrupt and biased (state) media.
A global network of citizen journalists could publish a monthly update on the current state of affairs and living of every country in this world – based on real citizen journalists.
Does that sound interesting and something you’d use and read?

Just entered the notary office in Germany, instead of a friendly greeting: "we still have mandatory masks here" while handing me a box of face masks. Wow...
Merry Christmas everyone! May the peace of Christmas & spirit of giving remain in our hearts throughout the coming year! ♥️🎄🌟
Nur Mit Liebe
Leben – ob Nord, West, Ost oder Süd
Nur das Eine – und alles genügt
Ohne – suchen wir, hier und dort
Mit – bleiben wir, gehen nicht fort
Gier nach allem – nur eins persistiert
Liebe und eine Familie, die funktioniert

Sleep Schedules & Needs
From my experiments: The best sleep schedule for humans is polyphasic in the summer (±5h at night, 90 min during the day) and monophasic during the winter (8-10h sleep at night; no nap during the day). It’s best to wake up with the onset of the morning dawn (slightly before sunrise).
It is natural for humans to wake up with the sunrise. In the summer, the sun is rising earlier and setting later. This is why I believe during the summer, it's better go to bed later and wake up earlier with overall less sleep (5h or even less) and have a siesta nap (20 or 90 minutes) during the hot summer noon.
Other observations: the more you meditate and the more raw food you eat, the less sleep you’ll need naturally.

Questioning Everything – Why You Should Question Everything
I wrote an essay about the importance of questioning everything and why only questioning can lead to the truth and ultimately to a world of abundance.
One of the more important posts I’ve written in the past years. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Why you should Question EVERYTHING
Questioning everything is the most important skill and trait one can adapt. I truly believe when more people start to question everything, we will create an abundant world with prosperity and more joy. Because ultimately, questioning leads to the truth – and…
Wildfires at Home
Two days ago, a wildfire broke out just a few kilometers from our home in Candelaria in Tenerife. I don't know what drove us, but we intuitively decided to fly to Germany exactly 1-week ago. Otherwise, we would be trapped in such a terrible situation.
It is difficult to describe how it feels to be 3,000 kilometers away from home and have your town only a few meters away from the huge flames of a wildfire.
The photos of the city covered in ash and smoke are surreal because they are so familiar.
I hope the fire is controlled soon and nobody will lose their home – or even worse life.

Skin damage from indoor lights?
I just stumbled upon this scientific article which basically says that blue light from devices and certain lights can accelerate skin aging by producing harmful particles damaging DNA and activating aging-related genes.
This just confirms what I intuitively promote for several years now, which is lighting that is adapted to humans and which is mimicking the natural circadian rhythm.
By exposing ourselves constantly to artificial blue light, we are not only damaging our eyes but also our skin, as it seems.
More research is needed, but this is quite a concerning finding.

Abundance or Chaos?
The future will be drastic. Either we will see abundance or we might find ourselves in total chaos.
On the one hand, we see technological advancement such as artificial intelligence which in and of itself will lead to further exponential technological advancements. For example, researchers closest to AI research and development predict AGI might arrive in as little as 3 years. AGI which refers to artificial general intelligence or in other words artificial intelligence that is capable of doing any intellectual task that humans can perform.
The arrival of AGI could lead to groundbreaking advancements across diverse fields, potentially solving complex global challenges, enhancing human capabilities, and propelling society into a new era of prosperity and knowledge.
On the other hand, however, unchecked AGI also poses existential risks, where unintended consequences or malicious use might result in catastrophic outcomes, challenging the very fabric of human society and control. And that might turn out even worse than the current global geopolitical landscape where the deep state of the United States challenges an ever more mighty OPEC+ – with Europe incapacitated.
Overall, negative news spread faster and wider. Exponential advancements with and through AGI are not understood by the majority of people.
If we get artificial intelligence right, we might find ourselves in a world of abundance. If we fail to achieve or regulate it – chaos will persist.
