Ahmad Mansour wrote that Berlin shows a loss of the social compass. Three years after October 7, which he described as the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, only a few hundred people had gathered at Bebelplatz – in a city with nearly four million residents. He reminded that books were burned there in 1933. Mansour criticized that the promise of "Never again" had become a ritual while the memory fades. At the same time, there are negotiations to bring people to power who have made Berlin unsafe for Jews, he wrote, calling this indifference. A society measures itself by who stands alongside Jews on such an evening – and who is missing, he added. #7Oktober #NieWieder #Gedenken #Berlin (translated)

Arthur Schopenhauer: Knowing too many truths about man, I cannot expect anything good from him. Absolute proof of the truth of this statement is the contemplation and possibility of realizing the greatest crime of the destruction of the Earth and all humanity by the ruling global elite, as well as the endless wars and genocides committed by it. What negative qualities in humans did Schopenhauer discover that deeply disappointed him? A blind, irrational, and insatiable drive that governs all people and pushes them towards selfishness and suffering. Inherent selfishness and malice Selfishness is the main driving force of man. It is the desire for one's own well-being, which is often limitless. A person is willing to sacrifice the happiness of others to satisfy even the smallest whims. Malice (malevolence): The desire to cause harm or suffering to another without any personal gain, simply out of envy or sheer cruelty. Schopenhauer believes that humans are the only beings that take pleasure in the suffering of their kind. Lack of true morality. Most people do not possess true compassion. They behave "morally" or "civilized" only out of fear of the law, public opinion, or loss of reputation. If these external constraints are removed, a person quickly reveals their true, savage nature. Intellectual superficiality and stupidity. Schopenhauer was deeply disappointed by the low intellectual level of the majority. According to him, most people are: Herd animals: Prone to blindly follow fashion, authorities, and public opinion rather than think critically. Incapable of higher spiritual pleasures: Satisfied only with material goods, sensory pleasures, and empty conversations. Hypocrisy and falseness The philosopher views social rituals and etiquettes as a mask behind which people hide their hostility and selfishness. Politeness is merely "artificial skin," protecting us from mutual harm with our true intentions. Insatiability and eternal dissatisfaction Humans are doomed to an eternal cycle between desire (which brings pain until fulfilled) and boredom, devaluation, and weariness (which occur immediately after the desire is satisfied). This psychological trap makes people eternally grumbling, ungrateful, and unhappy beings. (translated)

A study reveals how Babylonian students learned about gods and rituals through a comprehensive curriculum that did not include a specific subject on religion, but integrated religious knowledge into their training as scribes and members of the elite. #Babilonia #EducaciónAntigua #Religión (translated)

The leisure leader wrote that they, as a leisure leader, had observed that young people were drinking less, a development that many viewed as entirely positive. However, they were unsure if the change was solely positive and emphasized that alcohol could also be a part of adult social contexts, with parties, community, flirting, and rituals. They described the teenage years as a transition between childhood and adulthood, where trying boundaries and freeing oneself from parental influence could be involved. If young people socialized more, danced, fell in love, or found other ways to explore independence instead of drinking alcohol, they saw it as positive. But if the reduction in alcohol consumption reflected a more sedentary, digital, monitored, and cautious youth period, they expressed concern. They wrote that it was not the drinking they missed, but the rebellion. #ungdomar #alkohol #fritidsledare (translated)

Tomas Kapler stated in his contribution that the discovery of two fragments of pyrite in a former clay pit near English Barnham, according to him, pushed evidence of fire being used by humans back by 350,000 years. A team from the British Museum, led by Nick Ashton and Rob Davis, found them in reddish clay, even though pyrite was not naturally present in the area, according to Kapler. Archaeologists also discovered charred and heat-cracked hand axes and soil burned at over 700 °C there. It reportedly took scientists four years to eliminate the possibility of a fire caused by lightning. Kapler wrote that research published in December 2025 in the journal Nature described the oldest unequivocal evidence that humans could make fire themselves. According to him, the previous such evidence came from Neanderthal sites in northern France and was 50,000 years old. The find from Barnham, according to Kapler, shows that humans had this ability already 400,000 years ago. Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London speculated that they were early Neanderthals, among other reasons based on finds from Swanscombe and Atapuerca. The contribution also addressed the fact that archaeological finds mainly preserve stone, while wood, leather, and plant fibers deteriorate. Kapler recalled a 35,000-year-old tool made from mammoth ivory from the German cave Hohle Fels, whose holes, according to him, allowed for the production of rope, and a six-millimeter fragment of a cord 50,000 years old found in the French Abri du Maras. Archaeologist Bruce Hardy's estimate that we know less than 10 percent of the ordinary life of prehistoric humans was linked by Kapler to the items that did not survive, such as nets, bags, bowstrings, or footwear. According to his conclusion, the image of the Stone Age captures primarily what has not perished. #Archeologie #DobaKamenná #Historie (translated)

The article emphasizes how the participation of the Vice President of the Piedmont Region, Maurizio Marrone, in the rituals of a chivalric order linked to the House of Savoy is not just folklore, but a strategic action aimed at gathering support among monarchy nostalgics and representing a threat to the democratic constitutional order. #MarroneCrociato #EmanueleFiliberto #PoliticaPiemonte (translated)
