The development of society makes it necessary to find a new guideline from time to time. To do so, however, we need to know what history was, how today's society is structured, and how it is likely to develop.
The author aims to discover this by answering the following questions, among others:
How do we know what is good information and what is false information ?
What are false and what are real conspiracies ?
How can we achieve a just peace ?
What cultures and subcultures are there ?
What is the future of Islam in Europe ?
What is the core of Judaism, Christianity and Islam ?
How does a poor country become rich ?
What role does nature and global warming play for our survival ?
What are scenarios for the future of the world ?
What are political advices for e.g. Afghanistan and the Middle East ?
What is the meaning of life ?
How can we stay or become naturally healthy ?
With what advice or rules of life can we become happy ?
What is ultimately at stake is how to safeguard life on earth.
According to the author, making the right choice at certain crucial moments (so-called "nodes") is of great importance.
