Under police protection, the Gaza Tribunal took place in Hamburg. An event by lawyers about the genocide in Gaza. As a press representative, I took on a contribution regarding the role of the media. There were attempts at intimidation beforehand. So much so that the police came for security on the day of the event. The venue, the community center in Wilhelmsburg, was plastered with incitement. The event hall received an email demanding that I should not appear. I firmly opposed this. And ultimately, the hall was not pressured. This is important. Civil society must never be intimidated. At least this time the police were outside for protection, and not inside for monitoring. Either way, I would have traveled to Hamburg. The German Lawyers for International Law (DJfdV) organized a fantastic event. With important insights into the legal assessment of the genocide in Gaza and other sub-issues by experts such as Benjamin Düsberg, Ammar Boustami, Sebastian Scheerer, Yolanda Scheytt, and Alexander Gorski. My contribution was based on the accounts of the witness of the genocide, Abed Hassan. Abed made it clear through his personal experiences and records that German media should have been aware early on of specific genocidal acts. My colleague Fabian Goldmann also provided a brilliant contribution regarding the role of German media. I spoke about the fact that journalism must fearlessly, clearly, and loudly name this urgent truth - namely, that a genocide is taking place. Also, because the press should represent civil society against the powerful. The great German Jewish journalist Carl von Ossietzky, who was deported to a concentration camp by the Nazis for his truth, reminded us at the time that journalism should not shy away from this danger. The risk must be the driving force. Journalism must not be a "life insurance." In this sense, I view every attempt to be censored as praise. (translated)

This means that the end of the year could bring farmers further price increases for fertilizers. (translated)
"In 2016, I tried to convince politicians that we need to invest in AI, because unlike the United States, we do not have a Silicon Valley that can take over this matter for the state. I talked about this, among others, with the then Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who seemed genuinely interested in driving the development of artificial intelligence in Poland. But when it came to the crunch, political difficulties arose, and the AI plan disappeared into thin air. Moreover, it’s very difficult to implement under our social conditions. As soon as a government program is created, from which – let’s say – 10 billion zlotys are to flow into AI, comments will immediately appear that someone is trying to siphon off public money. We have been through this multiple times in our country. For politicians, it’s a huge risk. Therefore, we should first ensure the right climate around artificial intelligence. People on the street need to understand that we need investment in AI just as much as we do for the CPK or a nuclear power plant. In this area, the media and opinion leaders have a huge job to do. As a country, we still have a chance to take on one of the leading roles in this revolution. But this train will leave shortly. We must act here and now." (translated)

The best traders in the world are born for it. It cannot be learned. I think this applies to everything. You can learn to be good, above average, but you will never be elite if you do not have innate predispositions (or talent). People do not want to hear this. Nowadays, it is fashionable to say that anyone can do anything, you just have to work hard. But it is not true. Some people are born for trading and some for basketball. You can give it your all, but you will never beat someone who also gave their all and has talent. Besides, that talented person is likely to work harder because they enjoy that "work" and it energizes them. Sometimes such a person is literally obsessed and spends 10-15 hours a day doing what they love. That is why it does not work when you do something just for money. If you want to be the best at something, you have to do what your heart pulls you to and what you have a natural passion for. Money may or may not play a role there. (translated)
