You must know: First, there is the camel. It fulfills duties and carries external values. Next comes the lion. It fights; it shatters expectations. Finally, there is the child. It begins anew, creates its own morality, and breaks itself.

Many perceive Nietzscheans as egoistic because Nietzsche's choice of words appears quite radical. Criticism of Christianity, ego-driven ascension, thoughts of power, etc., etc.

My thesis:

A Nietzschean is egoistic when they are a lion with the pride of a camel. This makes them a pseudo-lion. They believe they already are one, but they are not free—they are merely defiant. They do not say, "I want, and to hell with you," they merely say, "I do not want what you want." They no longer want to be a camel, which is why they use the lion as a shield, yet they fail to see that they have not achieved independence; they are still operating within the framework of the camel. They stagnate in their egoism and cannot become the child, or even a true lion.

They do not use this philosophy to overcome themselves, but merely to justify themselves. And if they fail to see that, they have completely misunderstood Nietzsche.

Ihr müsst wissen: Es gibt das Kamel. Dieses erfüllt Pflichten und trägt fremde Werte. Danach kommt der Löwe. Dieser kämpft, er bricht Erwartungen. Dann kommt das Kind. Es beginnt neu, schafft eigene Moral und bricht sich selbst.

Viele erachten Nietzscheaner als egoistisch, da Nietzsches Wortwahl recht radikal wirkt. Kritik am Christentum, Ich-bezogener-Aufstieg, Machtgedanken, etc., etc.

Meine These:

Ein Nietzscheaner ist dann egoistisch, wenn er ein Löwe mit dem Stolz eines Kamels ist. Das macht ihn zu einem Schein-Löwen. Er glaubt daran, dass er bereits einer ist, aber er ist nicht frei, sondern er trotzt. Er sagt nicht ,,Ich will und scheiß auf euch", er sagt lediglich ,,Ich will nicht, was ihr wollt". Er möchte kein Kamel mehr sein, weshalb er den Löwen als Schutzschild verwendet, doch sieht er nicht, dass er keine Unabhängigkeit erreicht hat, sondern immernoch im Rahmen des Kamels ist. Er stagniert in seinem Egoismus und kann nicht das Kind oder erst den richtigen Löwen erreichen.

Er nutzt diese Philosophie nicht, um sich zu überwinden, sondern nur um sich zu rechtfertigen. Und wenn er das nicht sieht, hat er Nietzsche vollkommen missverstanden.

In the books, Ginny naturally becomes Harry's partner. That storyline is well-written. How Ginny had a crush on Harry early on, how they became good friends over the years, and only then turned into a real couple—that actually makes sense. In the movies, however, it all feels extremely forced. Harry and Ginny seem to have pretty below-average chemistry. This is mostly on Ginny, or rather, on what the script did to her. The further you watched, she simply had nothing natural left to contribute to the films. Her presence is often limited to stiff "Hello, I'm here too" moments, and while watching, you don't even feel the urge to see her fight Death Eaters in the grand finale. It feels unearned.

The stark contrast to this is what the fifth movie delivers upon a rewatch with Cho Chang and Luna Lovegood. The entire romance with Cho feels like a chore, something they just wanted to check off the to-do list as quickly as possible. It has absolutely no impact on the rest of the story. On top of that, Cho's character was completely ruined in the fifth installment compared to the fourth film. In "Goblet of Fire," she was still this charming, lighthearted Ravenclaw girl that Harry was completely right to crush on. But in "Order of the Phoenix," nothing is left of that. Everything is overshadowed by collective grief for Cedric, the kiss in the Room of Requirement feels like a foreign body meant only for the camera, and in the end, Cho is cheaply written off as a traitor through the Veritaserum subplot just to wrap things up quickly. There is no emotional spark left, only dead weight.

And then comes Luna. Of all people, Luna Lovegood, who is basically introduced as just a quirky outsider, delivers that exact moment during a rewatch where you think: That is Harry's true love. There is a chemistry between Daniel Radcliffe and Evanna Lynch that Ginny never even comes close to in the entire franchise. Luna understands his trauma, she sees the Thestrals, and she gives him the exact peace and lightheartedness he needs in his deepest isolation in the woods. Without judgment. It feels effortless and real—as if the movie accidentally built up the perfect partner here, only to drop her afterward because the book dictates Ginny in the end. By the conclusion of the films, you are left with the feeling that the love story that actually made sense was ignored, while the actual main romance completely falls flat.

Foreword: This is only a vague idea, meaning it may contain logical inconsistencies. I came up with it because I always felt that Supernatural could have explored themes like these. It may feel novel because it alters the plot of the universe itself.

Sam and Dean Winchester are in Heaven. It is peaceful, and they are having the time of their existence. They sense something strange, and suddenly they find themselves in another dimension, in what appears to be some kind of recording.

They are standing on a planet unfamiliar to them. They see themselves, along with Chuck and Amara. They cannot speak to them.

The four are talking about Brahma, discussing how he intends to destroy the world in order to create something new, and how they might defeat him. They speak about Brahma, reincarnation, and Nirvana – about his order.

The Winchesters witness Chuck and Amara absorbing all souls from within and outside the cycle of reincarnation, thereby becoming omnipotent. They confront Brahma and imprison him in a cage at the furthest point of the Empty.

They then watch Chuck writing plans for the universe, destroying the pre-Earth, breaking the cycle, and establishing his own order.

The Winchesters now see how they killed Chuck.

They are in the Empty. The balance shifts, and Brahma is released before Jack has fully consolidated his power.

They are back in Heaven. They watch Brahma march in, accompanied by his surviving gods.

Suddenly, they are standing in a meadow.

Castiel appears. He addresses them. It is truly him.

But how?

The Empty is supposed to be final.

Castiel does not answer this question. Instead, he says that he has shown the Winchesters everything.

The Winchesters ask a few more questions. Castiel explains, among other things, that Brahma does not use coercion, but hopes that souls will willingly enter the cycle themselves.

Before Castiel can explain what the Winchesters might do about it, Dean says that he would do nothing, as he wishes to keep his peace.

Castiel counters that Brahma would eventually destroy Earth.

Dean agrees to help.

Sam does as well.

Castiel says that Brahma does not respond to violence.

They must find the First Buddha, for he was the first being to understand Brahma's order and reject it.

He could show Brahma that this system is ultimately subject to free will and that Chuck's order is, in light of this, preferable.

They ask where they should begin searching.

Castiel explains that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have vanished and that the First Buddha may reside within what remains of the original Nirvana. The others there might know.

Castiel says he has something urgent to attend to and tells them to wait for him in Heaven.

Castiel is in Heaven, standing before Brahma.

Brahma asks him how he feels.

Castiel asks why he, of all beings, was brought out of the Empty and into the cycle.

Brahma replies that he had not intended to take Castiel specifically and that the Empty now serves merely as a maintenance shaft for souls.

Eventually, all souls will succumb to the cycle.

The angels dislike the presence of the Hindu gods. Some deliberately descend to Earth.

The demons hate reincarnation because it cuts off their supply of souls. Later in the season, they reach a compromise with certain Hindu gods and begin hunting the Winchesters.

The Winchesters return to Earth and conduct research in secrecy. They do not forget their family's mission and primarily hunt East Asian creatures.

Castiel occasionally visits them, helps them, and requests reports.

They discover texts and artifacts, including a kind of tesseract. Through it, they are able to travel to the Remnant Nirvana.

The Winchesters find the First Buddha there.

He tells them that a deity such as Brahma can only be defeated by a counter-principle.

"Who is that counter-principle?" they ask.

The Buddha replies:

"Jesus."

"Brahma sacrifices the world for something new. Jesus convinces people to sacrifice themselves willingly."

The Winchesters continue exploring the Remnant Nirvana, encountering Buddhas and Bodhisattvas until they eventually meet Jesus.

Jesus says that he would never kill Brahma, only persuade him.

The Winchesters and Castiel battle various gods.

Jesus convinces Brahma to spare the world.

Brahma withdraws his gods from Heaven and rebuilds the Remnant Nirvana as an old-new homeland.

As for souls, he grants each one the freedom to choose: Heaven, Hell, or reincarnation.

Jack and Brahma coexist.

Jack is the universe itself, while Brahma serves as a kind of guardian.

As for the Winchesters:

If this were the final season, they would die.

If further seasons were planned, they would remain on Earth.

Diese Serie folgt dem Leben von Ralf Schuhmacher, einem ehemaligen Formel 1 Fahrer, und erzählt von seiner Tätigkeit als Unternehmer, wobei er unter anderem Podcasts gibt und Werbungen dreht. Zudem erzählt sie von seinem Scheidungskind und seinem neuen Partner, mit dem er Wein anbaut.

Die Idee muss noch ausgefeilt werden, hat aber Potenzial.

Man schreibt ein Buch und mancherlei würde denken, man kenne es in und auswendig, doch kennen die Fans es oftmals besser als man selbst. Würdet ihr sagen, ihr seit Experten, was eure Werke betrifft?

Nowadays, streaming services increasingly prioritize binge-watching. This makes it difficult for small yet brilliant standalone episodes to exist. Now, imagine if HBO were to produce episodes of that very kind - episodes that focus entirely on a specific character or explore a particular concept. Here are two examples:

- An episode that delves deeper into a character, such as Snape.

- An episode showing what might have happened had Harry accepted Malfoy’s handshake and ended up in Slytherin.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll see a single episode like that; after all, it isn't a traditional TV series. Instead, I hope HBO at least takes the opportunity to tell the story from multiple perspectives within an episode, rather than just Harry’s. For instance, in Season 4 - when Harry and Ron had a falling out - the show could depict how Ron dealt with the situation and show him hanging out with Fred and George, among others.

Ultimately, a Harry Potter series offers immense narrative potential, and I hope they capitalize on at least some of it.

Season 11: long intro featuring Walden, Alan, and Jenny

Season 12: long intro featuring Walden, Alan, and Louis

Series finale: Season 12 intro, but with Jake, Evelyn, Rose, Bertha, Jenny, Judith, Herb, etc., joining in on the vocals

Habt ihr allgemeine Tipps? Muss ich irgendwas beachten?

Ich schreibe gerade an einem derartigen Roman. Der Charakter läuft alleine durch die Welt. Er trifft zwar auf andere Personen, aber ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Philosophie auf zu wenig Widerstand stößt.

Habt ihr allgemeine Tipps?

(Zur Klarstellung: Der Hauptcharakter ist kein Held. Mit Lone Hero wird hier lediglich gemeint, dass er alleine durch die Geschichte geht.)

Ich schreibe gerade an meinem 1. Roman. Es geht teils langsam voran, aber es läuft gut.

Doch auf einmal fange ich an, für eine andere Romanreihe zu plotten...

The series began with Tendi arriving on the Cerritos. And it ended with her leaving it.

Fühlt euch eingeladen, darin zu schreiben.

Fakt!

Firma bringt kackbraunes Toilettenpapier auf dem Markt. Nun denkt der Kunde, ein Blatt Toilettenpapier genügt zum abwischen.

Why not just "Accio golden dragon egg" right away?

Wenn ich schreibe, dann versuche ich oft möglichst viele Informationen in einen Satz zu verpacken. Das ist bereits der Deutschlehrerin in der Schule aufgefallen. Findet ihr diese, blöd zu lesen? Oder mögt ihr sie?

1. Er ist der uneheliche Sohn von Göttervater Zeus und der menschlichen Frau Alkmene.

2. Er ist ein Demigott, d. h. ein Mensch-Gott-Hybrid.
