Great actor, famous for Jurassic Park and so many other movies. My personal favorite is Event Horizon.

North by Northwest ist unterhaltsam wie künstlerisch abspruchsvoll. Das O. in Roger O. Thornhill steht für „nothing at all“. Der Protagonist ist ein Vehikel für die irrwitzigste Dramaturgie. Der beste Film aller Zeiten erfüllt die Kunstform wie der postmoderne Roman jener Zeit.

From the beginning, Alfred Hitchcock and Ernest Lehman planned on casting Cary Grant as the leading man in "North by Northwest" (1959) even though James Stewart showed extreme interest in the project despite his ignorance of the plot. When Stewart left to film 'Bell, Book and Candle' (1958), Hitchcock was relieved of the unpleasant task of telling him he didn't get the role. During the filming, Cary Grant said to Hitchcock, "It's a terrible script. We've already done a third of the picture and I still can't make head or tail of it." The comment greatly amused Hitchcock because, far from being a flaw, that exactly mirrored what Grant's character was feeling as well. Grant thought the movie would be a flop right up until its premiere, where it was rapturously received.

@wylfcen Todeskino. Translates literally to "Cinema of Death", but in reality, it is a re-translation of "tedescino", a name given to German immigrants to Italy, which migrated back to Westphalia later on.

@kimmonismus I am quite certain, however, that the people behind Palantir and similar Institutions are actively aiming for the abolishment of everything that remains of bourgeois society. But certainly not in the same way as Adorno had envisioned it (not so sure about Horkheimer, though...)
English
If it's about finding specific elements in the works of Adorno and Horkheimer: certainly. But especially in Dialectic of Enlightenment, instrumental reason, the reification of society, and the culture industry are identified as essential components of the stabilization and essence of capitalist society and subjected to *critique*. To omit this, however, misses the point of what the Frankfurt School was about: a critique of bourgeois socialization.
English
Regardless of the demands in the manifesto, I find it very disconcerting that Peter Girnus and Alex Karp justify their demands with reference to the Frankfurt School (Adorno and Horkheimer), yet simultaneously establish a moral guilt in their first demand.
Although Karp wrote his doctoral dissertation on the Frankfurt School, I believe he has completely misunderstood Adorno. That's the gist of it. I'll elaborate on this further at a later time. I myself conducted extensive research on the Frankfurt School at university and think Karp is seriously mistaken.

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Immer wieder gibt es Ansätze, Synergien zwischen christlicher Ethik und Marxismus herzustellen.
Genau gegen diese Verwirrungen muss entschieden gekämpft werden.
Don Dávila hat das in einer Scholie ausgesprochen: „Um sich mit dem Kommunisten verbünden zu können, behauptet der linke Katholik, daß der Marxismus bloß die bürgerlichen Konzessionen des Christentums kritisiert, obwohl er sein Wesen verurteilt.“
Als inhärent gottlose und totalitäre Anthropologie basiert der Marxismus auf einem gegensätzlichen Menschenbild: Geschöpf vs. Selbstschöpfer.
Im Marxismus ist der Mensch das Produkt seiner eigenen Arbeit, ein selbstgeschaffenes Wesen. Dieses Konzept der „Gottwerdung des Menschen” steht im klaren Gegensatz zur christlichen Lehre, die den Menschen als Ebenbild Gottes und damit als ein gerufenes, begnadetes Geschöpf betrachtet.
Während das Christentum die Unaustauschbarkeit der
Person betont, macht der Marxismus den Menschen zum Funktionär eines historischen Prozesses. Der Mensch wird abgeschafft, indem das Individuum im Kollektivsubjekt verschwindet.
Jacobin Magazin@jacobinmag_de
Der Marxismus gilt gemeinhin als antireligiös. Der Philosoph Alasdair MacIntyre sieht hingegen Überschneidungen: Christentum und Marxismus haben in der Menschheit immer wieder ein radikales Gefühl der Hoffnung auf eine gerechtere Welt geweckt. jacobin.de/artikel/weihna…

When my friend Mansoor asked me if I'd like to do an AI podcast with him, I hesitated for a bit, but then agreed.
My friend Mansoor is a lawyer who has just submitted his doctoral dissertation. He and another lawyer, Bijan, and I regularly meet to discuss artificial intelligence in German, focusing on geopolitics, philosophy, and especially law. They are both legal and AI experts, and I believe we've found an interesting niche with our optimistic approach.
So, if you speak German and are interested in the topic, feel free to tune in.
