Literature

I remember, as a child, my grandmother had bonbons, that were covered w/ their own dust. I liked to keep them in my mouth till the dust had melted and then I would place them on another tray. Once I had licked the dust out of all bonbons.

I think this defines part of my attitude towards books, for it is impossible to read all the good books, but I try to at least get their essense, the feel. Someone once said, that “some people write a book to help other people write one sentence”. I think one can enjoy some books simply by having them, by holding them, by reading the dust jacket and a few pages.

Bonini’s paradox “As a model of a complex system becomes more complete, it becomes less understandable. Alternatively, as a model grows more realistic, it also becomes just as difficult to understand as the real-world processes it represents.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonini%27s_paradox

Gedanken

“In einer Demokratie zu leben, ist kompliziert. Ich habe bemerkt, dass Menschen, die aus einem autokratischen System in eine Demokratie kommen, eine leichte Neigung haben, die Ideen, die sie selbst gut finden, in der Demokratie mit einer etwas autoritären Haltung zu kommunizieren, als ob das der einzige Weg sei und es jetzt geschehen müsse. Wenn man den demokratischen Diskurs bewahren möchte, geht das, meiner Meinung nach, nicht.” 7 Juni 2025
