Not everywhere, so that quiet resistance is perceptible from some corners. However, in view of solidified roped parties, entrenched structures and rusted connections, a separation is unlikely. The audible cries are rather the result of the oppressive narrowness where people step on each other's feet, not from insight before necessary changes or even from the idea of being able to step out on separate paths and adopt other forms of behaviour.

This would be the salvation of all of us and the last free selectable emergency exit. Probably we will fail again because we lack all the necessary ingredients for a new world order: Vision, bravery, courage, will and especially inner greatness. We would first have to admit mistakes, which is almost impossible. Then previous entanglements would have to be cut off, which in view of the expected annoyances would soften possible intentions in advance. To reproach the old companions with short-sightedness would also be counterproductive and hinder any plans.

However, the real reason for all hesitation is deeply rooted in us: fear. Conversely, we lack his counterpart to take the decisive first step: courage.

What still sounds feasible and motivating for the individual – no courage without fear – is often more difficult at a national level. Even the extended version – what does my courage enable me to do, even though I am afraid – can hardly be realized in view of the large number of people in charge. There is the same bias in everyone, which then adds up accordingly. What remains unnoticed is our inner herd instinct, which leads us to expect a chain reaction of like-minded people, whereby initial uncertainties should quickly lose their terror.

If our history of development has been driven and marked by pioneering spirit, we do not seem to have lost it, but we have reduced it to improving comfort and convenience. In our eyes, we have made the world our own and set ourselves up, so why should we change the conditions in a big way and risk possible disadvantages? We are sufficiently busy with everyday skirmishes and shortcomings. We need most of our energy anyway to fight with elbows for attention and our place.

A new association of willing ones would not be a small village club, but would have an effective punch from the beginning. Crawling constantly in front of the USA is now completely incomprehensible. With swollen eyes from fat and disintegrated muscles in his head, the self-declared world leader no longer recognizes that a deadly gullet is opening up in front of him. Why the much larger Europe is faithfully and stupidly dallying behind him is not only questionable, but has long since become unintelligible to the inhabitants. If populations of other European countries had as much guts in their asses as the French, tangible changes would probably be possible. Europe would possibly develop the courage to lead a new alliance.

There are many things the world does not need. Least of all pathologically psychopathic warmongers whose arrogance is surpassed by stupidity.

There is little the world needs to make the world a better place. First, an impulse to open the door to new ways. Our ancestors turned their fear into courage. We haven't lost that ability, just buried it under fries and chip bags.

But looking at the big picture leaves a face distorted with pain. Tormented by the discrepancies between weel and woe, because woe is praised as weel and weel is ostracized.

Three thematic blocks dominated the spectrum of attention: climate – naturally –; increasing segregation and isolation, with a resulting increase in aggression; and the ongoing attempt of ruling castes to square the circle by squeezing freedom and security into the same drawer.

Above all, the rampant loss of our individual, unique and distinguishing feature hovers: Humanity. Characterized by the growing legitimization of inhuman behavior. Under the cloaks of freedom of speech and economic viability, manners have established themselves to which human values are alien.

Selfishness is nothing new for humans. However, placing this above the preservation of our race crosses a red line. Traditionally, we find external influences difficult to recognize or take into account. Not mentioning their consequences.

The world is burning and corrupt governments continue to protect the booty of thieves from the stolen.

Political failures, such as German Minister of Transport Andreas Scheuer or Minister of Agriculture Julia Klöckner, gloat over their authority, unable to assume responsibility and detect incompetence. The lack of self-awareness, defined in the Dunning-Kruger-Effect, does not exclude elites.

Among themselves, all interaction becomes rough and raw, politically encouraged by the withdrawal of the power of enlightening institutions. Cutting off the water from critical associations by depriving them of their non-profit status is infamous and an abuse of power. This year it has been more public than ever before. Positions profiteers and lobbyists preferences become openly apparent and are only half-heartedly invalidated by those involved.

To elect our incompetent, former minister of defence Ursula von der Leyen as Europe's boss against all odds stinks for miles. Despite the pretense of democracy, unconsciousness is spreading across the country and awakening needs for support. Staggeringly, people are susceptible to melodious promises that are not further questioned. According to the well-known wisdom, after all, one is always smarter, protects equally common saying, from mistakes one learns, no repeat offenders. A hot plate is something everyone understands by touch, not by warnings.

Unfortunately, we fulfill the wish, our daily poison give us today, with growing enthusiasm. More and more chemistry we stuff into ourselves – voluntarily, because it makes everything cheaper. We don't realize that this makes the ground beneath our feet unbearable. Fortunately, we only see how well everything burns in news broadcasts. So it does not affect us and we Europeans are not involved anyway.

The fact that we eat plastic from the weight of a credit card every week does not bother anyone either, because it has no negative effects and, above all, because it happens unnoticed.

We are increasingly spraying a colourful bouquet of poisons verbally. Sinking inhibition thresholds reveal deep gaps within our race. The damage is devastating, especially since it is increasing. Nobody can imagine how this will end and certainly does not want to.

Worldwide, people seem to agree on only one thing: Amputate brain mass, ergo reduce thinking capacity and make it less complex.

In 2019 switches have been set, whether more or less than before is irrelevant. Decisive is that they were set in the direction of the ram, which is now clearly visible and shining from afar. While the outcry by #FridaysForFuture may at least be perceptible, it is still too quiet on the one hand and comes much too late on the other. The participants should have learned something about motional energy in physics lessons, despite truancy on Fridays. Still connections remain cloudy. Acknowledging misbehavior by parents and grandparents – at least – resists the ability to assign blame to the family. In this respect, there are no conclusions that promote the goal. Nutella is so good for the soul and Nespresso so incredibly practical...

To specify and show all of this year's failures exceeds available capacity – which does not mean the space here. The review is therefore neither comprehensive nor fulfilling and merely sketches the stale taste of failure. Perhaps 2019 will one day be called the year of brilliant failure. As the year in which we raced past the last exit against our better judgment. Overall, it was a shameful year. According to the law, worse always goes, the next, new decade will have a colossal false start.

As a result, we are able to grasp dimensions, but not to understand them. When in Indonesia an area as big as ten football fields is cleared per hour, this may be an understandable comparison, but it does not give us an idea of its full extent – and certainly not of its consequences and interrelationships.

This behaved just as the size of our planet. We can look at the bare figures, stand in Russia's taiga or the Sahara and yet only see everything up to the horizon. It doesn't matter whether the complexity overwhelms us, it stands in the way of our efforts to dominate. Depending on our position domination preciousness demands submission and possession of everything that can be achieved. We can only rise on the backs of others and rise above others, including natural resources.

The terms prosperity, wealth and possession may differ in detail, but in terms of content they aim at the same meaning: to have more, to be more than others. General consensus is that we don't just literally go over dead bodies for this. Because even if only a few people put their finger directly on the trigger of a gun, their decisions have comparable effects. This is where the aforementioned limitations come in handy. If everyone were to consider the chain of their decisions, we would have a different world. But because our own prosperity comes before everything else, we are not interested in the cruel effects. For the same reason, we reject both guilt and responsibility.

Coffee in small aluminium capsules are chic and convenient. If there were pictures of destroyed nature and of people who died as a result, they would probably not be as useful. However, the frightening pictures on cigarette packets show that humans still think more about fulfilling our well-being than about dealing with the consequences. Even if enjoyment makes us ill and causes us to die prematurely.

No matter what it takes reflects the invisible part of our life motto; the visible thrifty is nifty. We want everything at a small price. Again, limitations make us believe that this attitude is perfectly fine, after all, it's for our own good. The fact that the actual bill is far more extensive and far-reaching, lies beyond our horizon and therefore does not come into play.

Economy is run by people and differs from the individual only by the much greater might. Like a monstrous vacuum cleaner, large corporations suck capital and resources from markets and floors. What is devastating here is that the politicians, who are actually installed as the regulating layer, participate in this disastrous undertaking. But since the same mentality of thinking, including limitations, prevails across all borders, levels and strata, the community raid is not surprising.

With the intelligence mentioned at the beginning, we are merely acquiring tools to drive the speed of exploitation. Like a cancer we kill our livelihood. What appears to be a more than stupid approach can once again be explained by present narrowness. We cannot comprehend the temporal dimensions. If our actions have an effect in 100 years, we may grasp the numbers, but not the complex context. Most of the processes we trigger lie beyond our horizon and concern, making them irrelevant.

We could do otherwise, but we already fail at the idea. That is why we stubbornly follow the path we have chosen, ignoring warning signs and simply making sure that we reach our own end as unharmed as possible. As far as limitations are concerned, we should be close to perfection. The waste of our potential is regrettable and a shame.
