I think I have a very important note to make. After her majesty queen Elisabeth passed away. It just struck me, that I may have something to share. I know, that I am just a lonely blogger here in the vast sea of the internet, and having been a kind of friend with her majesty, […]

One of the things I so much adored with the late queen Elisabeth, was here grace and humanity. I know, that I have only been read by her majesty, and thus not have been in direct contact with her. But strangely enough, you somehow make connections with your readers. I made this wonderful connection to […]

So, we need to discuss, how to find this mirage of a place, this “Eden”. In the bible, it is described as a place, where Adam and Eve is living. But they are thrown out of paradise, because they eat from the tree of wisdom, and because Eve is not faithful to Adam. The moral […]

One of the effects of the Second World War was, among other things, the debunking and falling in negative grace of the nation as an idea. I get it, people saw how national socialism and fascism sought to destroy any humanism and kindness in the world. Yes, that is absolutely true, nazism and fascism was […]

The reason why I have turned around when it comes to the nation, is a pretty simple notice in one of the books I have read. Working on my book “The freestate”, that is a discussion of Democracy, I realised, that there were some incongruence in the work of Karl Marx. This is not to […]

It is at once a great privilege and and terrible responsibility, to take up the mantle after great thinkers as Immanuel Kant, Jürgen Habermas, Søren Kierkegaard, Adorno and Karl Marx. Being a centreal european thinker in the same mould as the Frankfurterschool and off cause Danish thinking, the schools that these predecessors have produced are […]

Understanding Plato, is to understand academia. Academia is in a great crisis these days. All the things, that some see as a part of Woke, and most see as a part of political correctness, that is diminishing the ability to think freely at campus, COMES from academics, who obviously do not like the idea of […]

After the long symposium that I have just attended at Oxford university, a lot of good analysis and understanding have evolved as a result of the discussion. First of all, I have been quite critical against woke for some time. The reason being, that I do not see this new cultural marxist idea to be […]

When you work for spirit, the aim is to make a better world. But how may that world look like? It is a world of happiness and joy. That is entire project of the monotheistic religions, to meet in joy, love and happiness. Dance, have fun, meet across the normal boundaries that set people apart. […]

For a long time, I had the good fortune to be so strong in my faith in humanism, that I did not succumb to the usual death trap of bitterness and vindictiveness that is often accompanied, with people that searches for light and truth. Plato explains it like this. Humanity lives in a cave. It […]

The green agenda is not really going in the right direction. In Canada and Holland, we have these huge demonstrations of farmers, and all farmers in the world, are just waiting for their turn to be “the problem”. To me, this has absolutely nothing to do with the idea of caring for nature. Last weekend […]

These days at the Lambeth conference, we discuss the idea of allowing gays and lesbians to be consecrated into marriage. That is a difficult discussion, and hopefully, the conference will come to a conclusion without too much conflict. The whole debacle stems from a discussion on woke, that see gays as a minority, that, among […]

International leadership, is a bit like being a teacher in one of the smaller classes. You have to be the one who, by your diplomatic skill, ability to make good rules, and, in rare cases, a harsh response to some of the bullies of the class, make a class with peace. I know, I did […]

I am not white, you know my mother was white, but I am not. Having to grow up in a community where everybody else is white, has been difficult. But it has also given me an understanding of the possibility of being together with people, even though my skin had a different hue than those […]

There is a kind of change in the understanding of the liberal world view. We have had Trump, that kind of underlined the extreme animosity between right and left, and then we have had Woke and cultural Marxism being all the rave, after Trump. These extremes, as it is, are not good for anyone. Not […]

Ok, international security seems to be a little better. After the succesful trip to the Middle East, by mr. Joe Biden, tempers seems to be a bit less severe. It helps, that I am supporting the American administration, and being both a jew and with a muslim father, I get a sense of understanding both […]

The mechanics of the discussion with the farmers I was a part of here in Denmark are like this. On the one side, you have an industrialized food production, that has some quite severe consequences for the health of the nature around it. We had this HUGE discussion about the leftover nutrients of the farming […]

Concerning the trouble in the Netherlands, where we have seen farmers protesting the green policies of the government. We have been through the same process in Denmark, and it was a VERY difficult negotiation. But we managed to succeed. We have made a deal, where we SUPPORT the farmers in their work in the direction […]

It has come to my ear, that the pope of the Vatican is ill. You know, things are like this. When you have lived a long life of accomplishment and truly great deeds. The end is not so bad. Having lived a life of making peace, and contributing to the connection between the different groups […]

Dear Volodomir Zelenski, all international bodies have tried, whatever they could, to try and alleviate the situation in Ukraine. It has come to almost nothing. The reason is, that Ukraine has become a part of the international game. Where we, in the Arabic spring, tried to help the Arabs becoming more humanistic and free, the […]

Ok, the problem about the situation in the world today is like this: Nobody listens to the other side, and poor Ukraine is in the middle getting squeezed and mauled. Here is an analysis, that takes the perspective of both sides, to try and relate the understanding from each side. The aim is absolutely not […]

The current presidentship of mr. Biden, has been all about leading, but it has not worked, why? Because to lead, you need to represent all those you want to lead. In Baracks time, Barack had a really good rapport with most of the leaders of that time. They really liked him, so they accepted his […]

Joe, you see, you can only rule on truth. Man is a special animal. If uncontrolled he or she will go into the trenches and start figthting from there. But if you base your rule on truth and justice, he will accept your wisdom. This is really the problem with Ukraine. The truth is, that […]

Ok Joe, things are not looking that good. First of all, it is because you have started a war in Ukraine. I really support mr. Zelenski, he is a very nice person. But the war is devasting and pointless. Why? Because it is motivated by the fact that UKRAINE has shelled and bombed the Russians […]

One of the greatest minds and strenghts of this very earth, is the Queen of the British. Or to be fair, the Queen of England. This amazing beacon of national identity and integrity has held the post of queen for 70 years, the longest serving monark on the throne of the british, ever. In a […]

I have not really been able to comment on the international news these past year or something. The reason is a volley of attacks. The minister of culture, the local mayor, secret service, the list goes on and on. To be fair, I have had some help from the queen and the prime minister. Especially […]

Israel needs to wake up. We are slowly sliding towards a strategic situation that is not in Israels interest. So far, we are still relatively neutral. But the push of Islamic Jihad and Hamas on Israel, is tearing at our relation with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the other Arab nations. This cannot continue. Either we […]

The current situation is heading for a mass war in Europe. That is really the situation. I am not saying this because I want it, absolutely not. But we need to be clear about the development to try and steer Europe away from the looming catastrophe. I know, I have been more realistic in the […]

Well, it is a problem, that the US strategic concerns seem to be vacuumed into new constellations, that it is not really interested in. Let us have a look at it. First of all. Mr. Obama made a political shift from focusing on Russia, to focusing on China, as the main adversary. To be honest, […]

Well, first of all, what we miss in the face of Third World War, is someone, to talk people down. This used to be my critical role, as an international agent of Change. But lately the wardrums are beating nonetheless. But, and perhaps this is a small glimmer of hope, the theories are evolving, and […]

What is going on with social media? Mr. Musk has just bought Twitter, I have, for a long time criticised social media quite a lot, and everybody are essentially really tired of social medias political bend of censorship. I for one, have been a proponent of control with social media, if it does not comply […]

Ok Zelenski, this is your window of opportunity. The Russians have, in their violent and destructive way, tought you a lesson to their power. Don’t underestimate the Russians. Napoleon underestimated the Russians, Hitler underestimated the Russians, and the result was the end of both Napoleon and Hitler. Right? Idealism has a strange way of finding […]

Ok, so now mr. Musk has bought Twitter. To me, that is good news. I have, recently, criticised social media a lot, because to me, as a Democratic philosopher, it goes against what public dialogue is supposed to do. What is public dialogue supposed to do? It is supposed to create a frame around the […]

Dear Zelensky, the reason why Mariupol and other cities are destroyed, is because you have no experience with war and making peace. As a result of the last peace deal, the Russians drew back a bit. To show, that they were serious about making a peace deal. It was a big chance. But, instead of […]

The new plans of mr. Boris Johnson of making camps in Africa, to send migrants to, has made a bit of a discussion in the UK. In Scandinavia it has led to an easter rebellion of palestinians, burning and destroying. So this whole idea, has had some effect already. One of the main criticisers of […]

The UN does not make any sense these days. I really agree with mr. Zelensky. I mean, what is the point of gathering, if there is no effect? We can talk and talk, but what is the point, if the horrors are just endlessly continuing on the ground? To the defense of the UN one […]

In the Ukraine war, the situation is like this. First the Russians just wanted to make a deal with the Ukrainians, that is they wanted to demilitarize Ukraine and liberate/occupy Donetsk. But at the beginning of the war, mr. Zelenski wanted to fight. So he fought, something that surprised the Russians, who were not prepared […]

Mr. Volodomyr Zelenski held a beautiful and extremely well composed speech to the Danish parliament a few days back, and it has kind of filtered down into the Danish society. These are the main takes on the speech after it has been discussed in Denmark. First of all, Denmark is REALLY supportive in terms of […]

In the war in Ukraine, the tolls of death is so high, that the suffering of people is almost impossible to fathom. This is due to the nature of the conflict. Mechanised warfare at the scale we are witnessing creates these devastations. In this situation, there should be no doubt about the stance of Israel. […]

Listen, we have to have some kind of an idea about an endgame in Ukraine. What is it, that we wish to make of the war between Russia and Ukraine that is raging right now? My experience is, going to war is easy, winning is difficult, but creating some kind of system out of the […]

Ok, the situation is, as it stands like this: Both parties are, more or less in the same position regarding ethics. It is a war, I know, you loose a war, if you do not fight it. But Ukraine has the Azov batallion, Russia have the Kadyrov batallion. At the wargames, more or less the […]

Zelenski. You want a compromise, fine. This includes you giving something, and Putin giving something. I have hinted on the possibility of you remaining in power, at KEEPING a strong military precense in Ukraine. This is what Putin did not want. At the other hand, Ukraine needs to recognise the breakaway republics and the Crimea. […]

Zelenski, listen. I have been a blazing hero once. When I started my work as a blogger and political philosopher, I shook the world. The dynamics was astounding, and I felt like riding a wave. You know what happened. I ended in a corner, the system did all it could to shut me up, they […]

It is not so difficult to understand what to do in Ukraine, IF you see the development of the European continent in the light of European history. We are all descendants of the great culture that inhabited the Mediterranean in the classical times. Philosophy deriving from Ancient Greece, Egypt and even further away I the […]

The conflict in and around Ukraine has reached a climax. Either we start a really devastating war, or we find some kind of solution to the problem. Seen in the light of the Second World War, this could lead to terrible mayhem, “peace in our time”, would be a word not remembered anymore. But, if […]

Ok, so I have given some thought to the role Israel might play in the current conflict between Putin and Zelenski. First of all, be carefull. Going into the conflict will risk the political capital of not only Israel but Jews in general. If it goes sideways, all Jews will pay, and it can potentially […]

The Ukraine conflict has become both extremely honourful for Ukraine, and at the same time shows the ambiguity of the Western alliance. I have, from the start, called for diplomacy, but I understand, that the Ukrainian people and leadership fight for their freedom. I hope, that, somehow, peace will come. The price in human cost […]

So the world has changed again, in a sense. The old world order, where everthing was a cat and mouse game has finished, and we are again in a situation, where war is the effect of politics. This has, on one side, become a much more transparent and easy world to navigate in, at the […]

Ok, now the dialogue has begun, that is, truly, a good thing. Thank you Anthony for calling mr. Lavrov, this may just be the beginning of at least some kind of understanding. Thank mr. Macron for reaching out to mr. Putin, this may also give the peaceplan a chance. But, one thing is to discuss […]

Well, thinking about the Russians, one has to UNDERSTAND them to really make a deal with them. Who are the Russians really? Well, as the Americans, they are hard-nosed frontiersmen. When the Rus came to what is today Ukraine, they came with the joy of Scandinavian culture. Put up a Thing, and enjoyed the festive […]
