đ I'm a peace researcher and art photographer – I write for myself and for you – not for clicks, money, followers or fame – I may have something authentic to tell from both â¤ď¸ and brain.
Greta Thunberg has an impressive following - on Instagram alone, over 11 million. A post in which she just holds her now classical sign "Skolstrejk" can hundreds of thousands of Likes. (I am of course green with envy! đ ) On May 5, Greta posted a very important dimension of the problems, a chart from [...]
N E WListen to this as a podcast on one or more channels Some time ago I referred my readers to my rather extensive analysis on the TFF - the Transnational Foundation's homepage - about social media and why I am reducing my use of Facebook, Twitter and Google to an absolute minimum. That was [...]
đ Announcement on social media use TFF and I, Jan Oberg, will change how we use social media from 2021 and onwards.The change comes as a result of certain social media trends and events that we do not want to be part of (see arguments below).We increasingly find Facebook, Twitter and Goggle a) politicising, b) [...]
Denne artikel kunne jeg selv have skrevet - og havde sikkert gjort det hvis jeg havde siddet to uger i karantÌne pü et hotelvÌrelse i Kina. Det er Norges tidligere miljø- og udviklingsminister, Dag Solheim, der reflekterer over forskellene mellem den "østlige" og den "vestlige" müde at hündtere Coronaen pü. Og det er disse forskelle, [...]
Sex har altid vÌret noget, der kunne pirre lidt og sÌlge meget. MeToo ved alle hvad er. MeOnly vil jeg gerne introducere som betegnelse for den omsiggribende identitetspolitik, der fokuserer pü visse individers skelsÌttende identiteter, selfie-journalistik, krÌnkethedsfølelser og er udtryk for mangel pü solidaritet med den store verden. Begge kan bruges til at give det [...]
"This is my message to the western world â your civilisation is killing life on Earth" 19. oktober 2020 Det sker ikke sĂĽ ofte. Men blandt dusinvis af artikler fra verdenspressen, jeg forsøger at lĂŚse hver dag - eller i det mindste skimme - er der nogle, der bare stikker op og gĂĽr ind, lige [...]
3. marts 2020 Hvad vil der ske hvis al ind- og udvandring blev givet fri - worldwide? I posten med den overskrift skrev jeg om den ĂĽrhusianske kunster, Gudrun Steen-Andersens, fascinerende kreative Perpetuum Mobile-projekt tilbage i juli 2019. Det er en video-essay baseret installation hvor hun har bedt en rĂŚkke forskellige eksperter om at reagere [...]
28. januar 2020 Jyllands-Posten publicerede i dag dette billede: Sü snart jeg sü det, skrev jeg pü min Facebook profil: "Havde man gjort sig lige sü dumsmart lystig over 81-106 amerikanske, engelske, svenske eller danske døde? FornÌrmet nogle af disse folk pü deres flag? Jyllands-Posten vil sikkert püberübe sig dÊn berømte ytringsfrihed - som ved [...]
December 30, 2019 Each and every problem humanity faces is rooted in violence. Why do so many continue believing in violence, the most counter-productive, unintelligent and expensive means of all? Violence invariably makes a problem between conflicting parties deeper and broader and every solution more difficult. It make the original problem ten times bigger. All [...]
December 26, 2019 It's something about their eyes - and not only that they are reading. It's something about the main celebration - the longest sequence - of the military, armed forces, police and all in law enforcement, all in uniform and all around the world. It's something about soldiers being shown when the word [...]
15. september 2019 50 ürs jubilar-tale holdt pü Aarhus Katedralskole den 28. juni 2019 KÌre studenter og øvrige elever - nuvÌrende og tidligere lÌrere - kÌre rektor, jubilarer og alle andre! Tak fordi jeg mü komme tilbage til vores skole idag og sige lidt om verdens fremtid. Man skal jo spü, isÌr om fremtiden. Jeg [...]
August 23, 2019 Yesterday, the US Ambassador to Denmark, Carla Sands, tweeted the following: https://twitter.com/USAmbDenmark/status/1164505164201517056 As will be seen below, there were four photos from an event in Copenhagen. The first shows all the people present, including former Danish Prime minister Fogh Rasmussen (also on the 4th photo with the ambassador), the present Danish defence [...]
Om en tidsvigtig video-baseret kunstinstallation af Gudrun Steen-Andersen i Aarhus 7. juli 2019 Invandring og det fremtidige, blandede, multikulturelle samfund er et af tidens vigtigste spørgsmül - isÌr hvis det kobles sammen med krigen som institution. For dÊn er jo den største producent af asylsøgende og flygtninge. Billedhuggeren Gudrun Steen-Andersen, der holder til i Aarhus, [...]
June 1, 2019 I've never been "anti-American." I work with (North) Americans every day at the Transnational Foundation and much of my academic training in both sociology and peace and conflict research has been heavily influenced by American scholarship. I am a great admirer of American culture and arts - from the Abstract Impressionists to [...]
April 11, 2019 Itâs Friday, April 5, 2019, at 9 PM. An entertaining talk show, âSkavlanâ. A dialogue between a prime minister and a special forces soldier who has no regret having kicked in doors and âkilled a lotâ in Afghanistan. He justifies himself by the most primitive and long-ago debunked theory about Good and [...]
2. april 2019 ...fortĂŚller dagbladet Information den 30. marts, 2019 i en fremragende, research-baseret artikel af Lasse Skou Andersen, Sebastian Gjerding og Bo ElkjĂŚr. Ja, hvorfor ikke? - kan man kun sige. Ingen har tĂŚnkt. Og har de tĂŚnkt, har de ingen forretningsetik eller personlig etik. Og der er vel ingen, der har overvejet at [...]
And why I am switching balances from the most noble and important - but momentarily meaningless - job to something more rewarding... February 1, 2019 Just yesterday, I posted this extremely important and modest appeal - the Basel Appeal - on our foundation's homepage, The Transnational, here. It was disseminated to social media, among others, [...]
Dansk Institut for Internationale Studier (DIIS) udgav den 27. november 2018 en slags analyse af Flemming Splidsboel Hansen med titlen "Russisk desinformation pü skÌrmen. BenÌgt. Afled. Giv andre skylden." Om den skrev jeg pü min facebook profilside følgende kommentar: "Vi er mange, der nu venter spÌndt pü en lignende analyse af USA's og andre NATO-medlemmers [...]
Det er genialt af Skovgaard Museet at bevidst fravÌlge islamofobiens kendemÌrker og dermed marginalisere dens tilhÌngere. Debatten om Muhammed-tegningerne handler jo ikke om ytringsfrihed men om dannelse, indlevelse og respekt (og ville aldrig kunne vÌre ført hvis det var anti-semitiske tegninger). Og om ansvar for hvad man siger og gør - og vÌlger at ikke [...]
By Jan Oberg Lund, Sweden - Hiroshima Day, August 6, 2017 Welcome to the Nuclear Denial Party!! Since marketing, omitted and fake news have - to a worrying extent - replaced knowledge and ethics, why not celebrate that the media have omitted every mention of Hiroshima Day today? Why not celebrate that all the responsible [...]
