"Ich bin auch der Überzeugung, dass Utopien oder zumindes Anti-Dystopien in Multikriesenzeiten an Bedeutung zunehmen, weil Perspektiven benötigt werden, wie es besser sein könnte. Der Einstiegsartikel bringt vieles schon auf den Punkt. Marko-Utopien sind oft problematisch, Mikro-Utopien bieten jedoch Möglichkeiten der Verbesserung, die nicht in Zwang und Stillstand münden. Auch die anderen Artikel sind lesenswert." — Nov 01, 2025 06:55AM

EmBe’s Quotes

“People don't read any more. It's a sad state of affairs. Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination. When you watch films it's someone else's vision, isn't it?"

[Interview in The Independent, 15 October 2005]”
― Lemmy Kilmister
