So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me because I, too, am fluent in silence. But an avid reader, and this for sure! Hegel's Weltgeist, or "world spirit," is a complex idea that refers to the unfolding of reason and consciousness throughout history. He believed that history progresses through a series of conflicts and contradictions, ultimately leading to a state of greater freedom and self-awareness. Marx, a young Hegelian, initially adopted this concept but reinterpreted it in a more materialist way. He saw the Weltgeist as not a spiritual force but as the collective activity of humans, driven by economic and social conditions. This shift laid the foundation for Marx's critique of capitalism and his vision of a communist society. Karl Marx and Hegel (Reception) to be continued … Marx's visions of communism have been debated for centuries, with various factors cited as contributing to their shortcomings in practice in Western Societies. Here are some key points to consider plus the intercultural Gaps: Economic Challenges: Central planning: Implementing large-scale central planning proved difficult, often leading to inefficiencies and shortages. Individual incentives: Critics have argued that communist systems lacked mechanisms to effectively motivate individuals and encourage innovation. Political Challenges: Authoritarianism: The transition to a stateless, classless society envisioned by Marx often resulted in authoritarian regimes, contradicting the principles of individual freedom and democracy. Power imbalances: The concentration of power in the hands of the state or…

Arno A Evers Ein wunderbares Beispiel für Zukunft und Innovation aus dem Jahr 1988 und wie junge Menschen zum Erfolg gebracht werden: Bildung und Ausbildung und grenzenlosen Vertrauen in das Potential junger Menschen. Vorbildlich. Mehr davon: Wir müssen die Erfolgsmeldungen als Teil des Alltags begreifen und dürfen uns nicht hinter einer Mauer des Wehklagens verstecken. Es gibt viele Erfolgsgeschichten, jeden Tag. In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist eine Haltung, die uns motiviert, unser Bestes zu geben, und die uns erfüllt, wenn wir es geschafft haben. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns hilft, unser Potenzial zu entfalten, und die uns inspiriert, andere zu unterstützen. Es ist eine Haltung, die uns Freude bereitet, und die uns dankbar macht. In das Gelingen verliebt zu sein ist mehr als ein Motto, es ist eine Lebensphilosophie. Nach diesem Prinzip haben Arno A Evers und ich über Jahrzehnte gelebt und gearbeitet. Deshalb sind wir Freunde geworden, sozusagen seelenverwandt. Und wir tauschen uns aus, obwohl Arno auf Samal Island in seinem selbstgeschaffenen Paradies lebt, wo ich ihn im Sommer 2023 besucht habe, und ich an der Gold Coast in Queensland lebe seit 2012. Weit weg von unserer gemeinsamen Heimat Raum Hamburg. Truly Northern, Nordlichter, eben … Credit Arno A Evers

Linked Mark Knopfler Linked Profile **Rubies**: Rubies are the red variety of corundum and they contain chromium. A small amount of chromium in corundum will produce a pink colour, but to be considered a true ruby, there must be enough chromium for the gem to be a distinctly red, or slightly purplish-red colour¹. **Sapphires**: Sapphires are also a variety of the mineral corundum. They contain traces of iron, titanium and nickel, giving them a range of colours including green, yellow, blue, orange, black and pink. Blue sapphires are the most common¹. **Opals**: The Australian Outback yields a cornucopia of precious gemstones, with opals being one of the most significant. The interaction of ancient inland seas and the leaching of silica-rich sediments have given rise to opals, those iridescent jewels that seem to capture the very essence of the Outback’s fiery skies⁸. **Other Gemstones**: Australia, with its long geological history, has some of the world’s oldest rocks and minerals and a wide variety of gemstones. Australia is the world’s biggest producer of diamonds and opals and major supplier of…
