Our world is becoming increasingly dark and digital, and so I write here on this page about my values to make them visible to everyone who wants to share my vision of a better future and no longer dwell on the past.
My podcast, “Ethics in the Dark,” marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, as I can no longer understand, and above all, no longer bear, how dark and cold we have become.
And it’s not just darkness and cold; regrettably, the law of the jungle, of those who have more power and money, is increasingly prevalent.
States are attacked, people are killed, and much worse things happen that we cannot and do not want to imagine.
We must finally act, and do so before it is too late.
That is my ethics.
Because disagreements, whether between individuals or between states, never justify violence.
We have forgotten one crucial principle, and that is international humanitarian law: I may defend myself in the event of an attack, but under no circumstances may I commit war crimes or crimes against humanity.
If we don’t realize this, then sooner or later we’ll be heading for a global war that could be worse than anything we’ve ever imagined.
A quote from a song: “And when the last bomb falls, then our world will finally be at peace.”
