The Democratic Party is at some kind of Crossroads. I mean, let us have a bit of a look in the mirror. When Barack was in the leading seat, we had a wonderful and epic lead in all. Yes, there were things that could have been done better. But in most cases, things went really […]

I have given the current wars a bit of thought, why was it, that the wars that Barack and I did, was so much more of a succes, than what the US is doing today? Well, I think the reason is, that off cause Barack was an amazing orator, he could give a speech, so […]

Concerning the discussion on tax, and how to make a tax system that actually work. First of all, we need to understand what the idea behind progressive tax really is. Marx had the idea about progressive tax from a classic philosopher called Democritus. The idea is, that society has a geometrical form. It can be […]

What is he aim of politics? Do we sometimes stop, at ask ourselves, what is it really we are doing? Often we end up in petty infights, and actually lose the greater view on things, and stop seeing the basic reason for all the politicking we are doing. Making research for my book on economics, […]

I have tried to think a bit more about the Middle East. What went wrong the last time? To be honest, it was Hillary Clinton. Now, I fought for ms. Clinton against Trump, so it is not so much that I don’t like her ideas. This idea that we should fight for the sound family […]

The Iranians are seeking democracy, freedom, they fight against tyranny, they REALLY just throw their best lifes in there, to be free. For at long time, I ignored it, and hoped that the peace deal we made the last time, would hold, but to be honest. For me as a democratic philosopher, who ACTUALLY fight […]

Trying to find a solution to the competition from the far east towards the West, we need to understand the quality of our own culture, in order for that culture to find itself again. First of all, I really like craftsmen. I see myself as a craftsman. Yes, I am an academic, but my ideas […]

We are kind of wrestling with how to get social media right. Mr. Elon Musk has bought Twitter, and is trying to change the system so that it is fundamentally following some basic civilisation principles that further our world to a better place. But the thing is; what are those principles really. I have discussed […]

One of the things, I believe we should realise, is the fact that a lot of the revolution in Iran is a reflection of the Arab spring. Some of the allies we got there in the first place; Kurds, Israel and the Arabs actually are against the dehumanization that we see in Iran. Hanging people […]

Economy is named by Aristotle in his work by the same name. The theory is, and this is something, I believe is truly right, that a nation is like a household. In fact you can look at each level of the society, and the same basic mechanisms repeat on each level. In a family you […]

Ok, we need to work on with our economic policy. As it stands, we have made some strides. The fight with China has been, partially succesful. Moving production and good jobs out of the US has lessened. But it seems to me, that it is pretty difficult to get the production BACK to the US. […]

The world is kind of shifting these days, there are two main motors of this change. First is the rebellion in Iran against the system. This is a world changing event. According to my sources the Iranians are just finished with islam. They are never going back. To be honest, with some of the atrocities […]

In Denmark, lately, there has been a lot of controversy around the government, and also the social system, that is really corrupted. This is the truth, corruption, ridicule and oppression of our weakest citizens has been an issue, and it is an issue. One of the things I have worked with is the handicapped. Disabled […]

Concerning the energy situation in Europe, there are some issues we need to discuss. First of all, we need to understand, that the energy market is like any other market, it works best if it is free. How should we understand this? Well, innovation cannot be controlled. The state can invest some money and ressources […]

I have been doing a lot of soul-searching lately. Why is it, that whatever I do, and I hope my readers feel, that I do a lot for them. There is no such thing as giving back. I mean, just imagine all the Americans, that thrive with what I have given them. Better housing, more […]

Well, it seems to me, that both the UK and the US is pretty ok. In the UK there is very little discussion, and that is a good sign. It is always when people are unsatisfied with the status quo, that they start to make trouble. So, in a very real sense, we are in […]

Ok, here is the problem mr. Sunak. You have absolutely no idea about how it is to be poor. No idea about the suffering, the unpaid bills, the angst, the abuse and the constant stress and ridicule. But the thing is, to be poor is not so different from being rich, really. I happen to […]

Rishi, you are in a good position to make a difference for all those, who are not directly descendant of the vikings that battled at Hastings in 1066. BUT, this is my experience with the work I did with Barack Obama. Being of coloured skin as a PM forces you in a more conservative direction. […]

There is an option for the new PM to try and go the path of “change”, that mr. Barack Obama trailblazed under his presidentship. I have tried to give it some thought, and these are my initial reflections. The US is very much different that the UK. The US is a PRODUCT of the US […]

Ok Rishi, one of the things a premier minister does in hos first days, is to reach out to our allies. Especially these days, where the UK is in trouble due to energyprices spiking, we need to reach out and get some help. Yes, it will cost us a little, but this is the time […]

Ok, Rishi, this is it, another go at making some kind of progress in the UK. First of all, one of the low hanging fruits of premiership is to connect to foreign leaders. It is an easy way to make a statement. But, and this is where you need to chose, you need to come […]

One of the things the new premier minister has to deal with is energy. Energy has been an area, that has been neglected for far too long. Lets have a look at it. First of all, one needs to understand, that energy is like the firewood of a kitchen. If there is no firewood in […]

Ok, there is a problem within the Conservative party, and here are some reflections as to what to do. First of all, one needs to look at the consequences of the Ukraine war. Millions of citizens are going broke, prices are rising, and one needs to address that calamity at once. Ok, we are going […]

Well, we have certainly gotten off to a good start. Things are looking all right. Ok, we are not as popular as the late majesty her highness Queen Elisabeth, but we have made a basis to work upon. The strategy, to do what the late queen was doing is a little boring, but it works […]

Concerning the response to the very, very difficult matter of, how to make a kingdom in these days. One of the things I think is very important, is to find a balance between new and old. Kingdom is old, and should not be seen as a renewer. It should be conservative in its very foundation. […]

One of the things I learned in the campaigns I did with Barack Obama, was the value of virtue. If we made some decisions that were unjust, as bombing the Pakistani with drones, we got a bad rep.. But if we did things to the letter in terms of ethics, we got a good rep. […]

There is a very cold winter coming, as foretold in the lore of litterature. This cold winter will be a severe threat to many, especially the small folks, who may not have so much to trade or barter. Old people will be living in cold houses, and will, as a consequence perish, even. In this […]

Hail to the new king, Charles the third! This new era, that a new king may promise, is an era of both great difficulty, but also great promise. The monarchy have not been better for a long time, and on this basis, there is an apt opportunity to make new strides to secure England, Great […]

A milleneum ago, the great vikings of Scandinavia went to the East Roman Empire to serve as guards of the Empire. They were called the Varangian guard, and served, loyally and exemplary their lord in the Eastern Roman city of Constantinople. Along the way from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, they founded cities to support them, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
