In contrast, mental deficits are less measurable in kilograms. On the one hand, simple ways of thinking consist of light structures that are revealed by one-dimensional views, expressions and behaviour. On the other hand, the excessive mantra of being a world leader does not require complicated mental effort because it is simply repeated. In this respect, overloading is unlikely.

Even if under-complex brain circuits themselves are hardly noticeable, they can be a heavy blow to the environment. Loud rumbling, boorish behaviour and giving elephant in the china shop stretch all pain receptors to the limit of tolerance. Although the roots of some of the most influential music styles are rooted in America, there is no carte blanche for them to be cultural outcasts. Indigenous peoples can sing countless laments about this.

There is no doubt that the Americans are extremely annoyed by the fact that so little oil is stored in their territory and that they are therefore dependent on what they consider to be inferior countries. Because their own discoveries can only be elicited from the earth with considerable technical effort and expense, they construct a colourful potpourri of pretended reasons to install a permanent presence in the Middle East by means of military raids.

But how seriously one should take a country that prefers to let masses of innocent children die in rampages rather than to take away the weapons of the simpletons with inferiority complexes and delusions of grandeur? To this end, permanently invoking the right enshrined in the Constitution, but immediately amending it in order to stir up trouble against foreigners?

Can one take seriously a country that indulges uninhibited gluttony but offers no system for the consequences? That does not trust anyone and monitors everything, but demands unconditional allegiance? That proclaimes freedom constantly, but in the fine print expects to yield unbridled profit, otherwise it is adapted to the demands? That declares itself an idol and model capitalist, but people can only tolerate this in a drug frenzy? That can't keep balance and is basically out of money? That demands a senseless wastefulness from all allies, although their misguided use is obvious? That sells actions for one's own end as a pleasure for all, and insults mutates into a defiant infant, missing thanks? That seeks his salvation in space because of plundering and destroying his own home? That closes eyes to its own actions? That reaps only head shaking outside its borders?

No one with regard and intellect submits a lame duck. Threatened with arms or resorting to other drastic means, the world community should isolate them. Perhaps some certain sanity will return then.

Simply dismissing it as power horniness no longer does justice to developments. Rather, progress and behavior drift apart. The more high-tech the former becomes, the more primitive the latter becomes. Instincts long believed to have been overcome are pushing their way from the depths of our evolution to the front row. Values and ways of dealing that have been painstakingly built up and have been described as human in their origin are mercilessly chased away.

Especially now, when calls for more equality and care are growing louder, they seem to be inciting fears of loss. If loss and fear can be emotionally challenging on their own, their connection quickly becomes unbearable. Countermeasures are activated like reflexes. Every possession must be defended with all means. Lawfulness is not at issue here because, according to our claim, everything always belongs to us for our well-being. Those who threaten this will be fought. Even if it is the neighbor with whom we have always got along well. There are no friends in the battle for the benefices, only enemies.

Worldwide falling barriers displease the mighty more and more. First they force globalization on us and now they are surprised to find out what hard bandages are in use here and that their own players are increasingly falling behind. In the war of profits no prisoners are made, but destroyed, which places itself in the way. It is easy to see how the forces are distributed around the world. But instead of looking for progressive solutions, lower instincts are given in and the claws are extended.

Only those who position themselves as opponents are immune to this activation. Whoever stands up for an open and peaceful world is an outright enemy. Who thinks beyond that of future generations and acts accordingly prudently, thus betraying his own taking of advantage, must reckon with serious complications for his life. The more cosmopolitan people become noticeable, the more nervous the other side becomes and strengthens its defensive measures. While the former take care of everyone, the latter only takes care of themselves.

How easy it is to ignite supposedly comfortable structures is shown by the already existing majority. Government princes no longer have to formulate complicated demands, but only press the right buttons. Discrimination, control, suppression and demarcation are a simple language that everyone understands. Of course, this always means only one point of view: from one's own point of view – everything for me, nothing for the others. This also applies to each other, which is why people are divided everywhere.

Globally, a dangerous course has been embarked upon, the effects of which are pushing back unmistakable signs. Fascinated, we hunt technical developments from climax to climax without understanding the underlying danger. Arrogant, we cling to the dogma of being able to control everything. We continue to let ourselves be dictated by the maxim that the economy must grow indefinitely without questioning this. Obvious untruths are believed when they support the threats previously put forward.

Dictatorship and slavery are on the rise, even if it is carefully avoided calling them so. It is only a matter of standing on the supposedly right side.

The political powers are stirring up this fight for distribution, only to be careful not to fall under their own wheels. So that they do not sink, they sharpen their knives. Because, of course, they do not dirty their own hands, they stir up their people and spread destructive hatred over them. Form and dosage do not matter, the main thing is that it has an effect.

The success of this development lies in the success of its cause: peaceful prosperity eats its children. Man is overwhelmed with the complexity he has created himself and yearns for simplified structures. Instigated by himself, he becomes a victim of his own holiness. However, the interrelations exceed all those who are able to think beyond their heads. Violence is then based on the frustration of not being able to deal with one's own inner conflicts.

The simple fact that we are all equal and that our basic needs are identical makes totalitarian desires for domination impossible and is therefore successfully expelled.

The greatest danger is hidden in the momentum that is absorbed and nourished by the frictions that are generated. Stopping this is becoming increasingly hopeless. Constructive counter-movements, such as #FridaysForFuture, unintentionally deepen the trenches. The necessary changes exceed the imagination of rooted and hardened ideologies. Implementation would mean hell, which is therefore prevented by all means. If one were to deny one's own small-mindedness, one would already lack the cognitive faculty to do so.

What is difficult to discern in the processes taking place are the weak points with the most comprehensive power: politicians inside. Through mud battles against their peers, they have eliminated any inhibitions and established a rude way of dealing with each other. This is precisely why populist screamers are most heard. In an absurd way, it nourishes a paradox: the call for a strong leadership hand.

Solutions would be obvious if one thought about the inherent reason instead of having it stolen. However, killing swings up to the ultimate satisfaction, to the maximum stimulus, as the peak of power, with which our peculiarity is nothing more than a lie, a self-deception: humanity.

Probably evolution will judge it. That it is accompanied by painful teachings may belong together inextricably.

We can be different. Unfortunately, we have not yet reached maturity for this.

His face shows who holds a position and stands up for it.

(I refer to violent rioters who also present their sparse vocabulary on the Internet. Especially those who rebel against injustice and have to protect themselves against attacks through anonymity are not meant.)
