    No AI, No AI translated by Eduard WagnerEvents happen every day that can be seen from a different perspective. Here I try to document such views. Whether they can agree or not is up to their point of view. It may be that you can't exactly agree with that, but there are perhaps problems that would be easier to solve than just using armed force. Our planet would benefit from a different perspective on so many events. That's why I decided to see some events in society, politics and the climate from a different perspective.

    Dive into the worlds of Philip K. Dick who inspired some of the most famous sci-fi movies of all time!

Philip K. Dick struggled to make a living during his lifetime, but his work has since served as a deep seam of ideas to be mined by filmmakers such as Ridley Scott, Paul Verhoeven, Steven Spielberg, John Woo and Richard Linklater, resulting in some of the most successful and influential SF movies of all time.

For the still-unequalled future world of Blade Runner to the mind-bending A Scanner Darkly, via the blockbusting action/adventure of Total Recall, Paycheck and Minority Report – not to mention the debt of gratitude films like The Matrix and The Truman Show owe to his work – the legacy of Philip K. Dick has revolutionised Hollywood.

    A fascinating account of Russia's famous dissident and the politics he embodies. 
 
 
 
Who is Alexei Navalny? Poisoned in August 2020 and transported to Germany for treatment, the politician returned to Russia in January 2021 in the full glare of the world media. His immediate detention at passport control set the stage for an explosive showdown with Vladimir Putin. 
 
 
 
But Navalny means very different things to different people. To some, he is a democratic hero. To others, he is betraying the Motherland. To others still, he is a dangerous nationalist. Navalny explores the many dimensions of his political life, from his pioneering anti-corruption investigations to his ideas and leadership of a political movement. It also looks at how his activities and the Kremlin's strategies have shaped one another. 
 
 
 
Navalny makes sense of this divisive character, revealing the contradictions of a man who is the second most important political figure in Russia—even when behind bars. In order to understand modern Russia, you need to understand Alexei Navalny.
