The warlike mindset
UKRAINE: What is it about our modern way of life that promotes such hostility and military-technological "solutions"?
The three ecologies
Climate: What connects the city of Syracuse with the UN and a French philosopher?
Massive change
BRUCE MAU: How about a look back over 30 years, to be able to see and act into the future?
A liberal left?
Accelerationism: Several thinkers believe it is possible for what they call a rather complacent left to carve out a better and freer future through capitalism and technology.
The masses and the people
PSYCHOLOGY: Is it possible to understand why the majority choose a leader or a slave-like existence?
Bjørneboe, Gateavisa, and post-anarchism
Is it possible that traits from anarchism still have great validity for some of us today?
Palestine in our century
Palestine Annex: Palestine magazine in our century has both a current and historical perspective on # Middle East #'s long nuclear conflict over Palestine. Although it is well known, it is often with little detailed knowledge.
Book reviews
A gigantic loss project
THE DISCLOSURES: For 20 years, US authorities lied about the war in Afghanistan.
Challenging climate sobriety
ECOLOGY: We need such voices as Holly Jean Buck, who criticizes wishful thinking – precisely to help bring forward a hopeful, serious and long-lasting climate fight, beyond all easy optimism.
The comprehensive self-insulation
COVID19: SARS in 2003, bird flu in 2005, MERS in 2012, Ebola in 2014, combined with the financial crisis, massive refugee flows, and revolutions in the Middle East and Greta Thunberg's shrill doomsday voice, had largely immunized the population against something as abstract as Covid19.

WORK: Precarious working life is perhaps alluring with its freedom and flexibility. But with the precarious also comes the uncontrollable, the unpredictability and the lack of rights. Precarious work has become widespread in a subject such as journalism. Nevertheless, I am still tempted by the flexible tasks, by the sense of variability, freedom almost.
An ever-creeping feeling of loneliness
INSULATION: Acute loneliness affects both winners and losers. Daniel Schreiber visits a wealth of hermit literature – such as Thoreau's Walden and Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. But what does social withdrawal mean today – whether it is the occupational or pandemic condition?
