That's so weird and must be stopped immediatly.

The last few years are unlikely to evoke positive associations for most people: corona madness, climate and trans ideology, a few wars in between and now the weather is also going crazy.

You feel more reminded of the biblical plagues and the apocalypse than motivated to make positive changes to the system. It seems as if the world is in the hands of fanatical do-gooders and globalist social engineers. But the world is always in the hands of everyone. There is no responsibility for the future in the hands of some kind of “elite”, unless the citizens voluntarily leave it to them. Apocalypse literally means “unveiling”. In times of crisis, the core of reality is peeled out and all illusions fall away.

**Golden times for system explorers**

In turbulent times like these, unbreakable forest dwellers and resisters, prognosticators, esotericists and also system busters cavort. This is also a constant in history: times of crisis were often times of new beginnings. In knowledge revolutions, new knowledge inevitably mixed with new technology and also a new spiritual orientation towards the world. Before the outside world is created, it must be conceived internally.

Around 500 years ago, the plague repeatedly cut new swathes through Europe, while at the same time Venice began its rise as a major trading power, the Medici banking system began to flourish and, a little later, so did art. This boom was preceded by something that at first glance seemed “boring”, such as the invention of double-entry bookkeeping by the monk Luca Pacioli at the end of the 15th century.

In the following century, the thinker Giordano Bruno moved from city to city in search of employment, and in the end, the system-breaker was burned as a heretic on the Campo de' Fiori in Rome. Meanwhile, astronomers, magicians, artists and alchemists bustled about at the court of the Habsburg Rudolf II in Prague. Some talked to angels, others tried their hand at producing gold. Those who ridicule alchemical experiments today as heresies should at least google how phosphorus and porcelain were discovered.

To be outmoded and unworldly means to be in search of something different.

Great visionaries from Rudolf Steiner to Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla and Richard Buckminster-Fuller have always known that the best way to change the system is to go outside the system and create something new from there. You don't change the old by fighting it. The best way to replace it is to think in new forms that make the old forms obsolete, said Buckminster-Fuller.

**Brains moved the world more than the guillotine**

Working on the old is like dancing with zombies. Creating the new, on the other hand, inevitably brings the old into competition with the system. If the new is better, the old system is obsolete. “Video killed the Radio Star” sang the Buggles in 1979 (the first clip of the MTV era) and they were just as right as Steve Jobs, who threw several industries overboard with the iPhone. What you previously needed 20 devices for, from dictation machines to telephones and “Walkmans”, you now had in your pocket. Thinking outside the system, which you don't learn within the system, combined with technology, is the sharpest knife in history when it comes to change. Brains moved more than the guillotine.

In today's world, everyone is a potential system changer. There has never been a time when the tools of change have been available to as many people as they are today. At the same time, we live in a time in which fewer people than ever before determine the fate of everyone. How does this fit together? There is an infinite systematic potential for change, and this lies solely with the people who have not yet made use of the available tools. But this wave is irreversibly set in motion; it is rolling and no one knows when it will turn into a tsunami.

Free speech and critical journalism are under massive attack. With the [Pareto Project](https://www.freischwebende-intelligenz.org/p/pareto-projekt-beenden-wir-jetzt) we want to make censorship-resistant publishing the new standard. Today, we have the opportunity to consign the phenomenon of censorship to the landfill of history. Are you thinking along similar lines? What should the journalism of the future look like?

**The great transformation**

We are living in the midst of a quiet revolution, with quiet revolutionaries. Pavel Durov from Telegram would certainly have got on well with Giordano Bruno. Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto might have felt at home at the court of Rudolf II in the past.

The path to change follows similar patterns of transformation. In the past, the power of the individual was seen as being sand in the gears of the system. “Man of labor, wake up! And recognize your power! All wheels stand still when your strong arm wills it,” wrote Georg Herwegh. Today, anyone can create their own little system. With Bitcoin, uncensorable money is already in circulation. The next big battle is over the uncensorability of information and it is currently underway. The best way to share centralized power, whether it's media power or a central bank cartel, is to distribute power through decentralized systems. This is essentially a feudalistic redistribution: the old feudal system is being replaced by the reassertion of power for the individual.

What role will Switzerland, the country of countless inventions, play in this development? Hardly any other country is so innovative and therefore so well positioned for this system transformation. The most successful Bitcoin app in Europe already comes from Switzerland. The Relai app is an application for secure self-custody of Bitcoin, without the influence of others. Relai AG was recently voted the best crypto startup and second-best financial startup in the country, and is rushing from one growth success to the next. The company is currently preparing to conquer the European market even more effectively.

Gaining control for the individual means losing control for the old (money) system. This principle also applies in other sectors. For example, iVault AG from Thalwil is currently working on opening up the “sharing economy” market. Anyone who wants to easily rent out their e-bike, car or lawnmower to others, for example, can do so via the ivault.io app and benefit directly from their own sustainability. Here too, old centralized platforms are being disempowered and individuals are taking their fate into their own hands.

It's always the same pattern and principle: if you don't want to be managed by others, you have to manage yourself. This applies to money, information and even lawnmowers and e-bikes.
