The Silent Slide - The Story of Democratic Decline
Democracies rarely collapse with dramatic fanfare; instead, they erode quietly, often with the unwitting consent of their citizens. This silent slide into authoritarianism begins with subtle shifts in power and trust, leaving behind the freedoms that once defined them. This article will analyze in depth what paves the way for the dismantling of democracies from within. It is essential to note that “democratic erosion” will be one of the leading keywords throughout our investigation. Therefore...

The Crowned Citizen
Welcome to ‘The Crowned Citizen’! I recently changed the name and graphics of my publication, and I figured I owe you an explanation! I was between calls and started scribbling in my notebook. There has been a lot on my mind beyond work these days, mostly connected to the articles I publish here and the currently rather dire state of our democracies. I got up to get lunch after the call had ended, and once I returned to my workplace, there was a first sketch of ‘The Crowned Citizen.’ After th...

Democracy in Numbers
Democracy in NumbersIntroductionA chapter in Rutger Bregman’s “Utopien für Realisten” (Utopias for Realists) inspired me to dig deeper into all the statistics and numbers surrounding democracy. Since the 1900s, we have lived in a world that adores numbers almost over everything else. The specific measurement Bregman elaborates on is the GDP in the chapter “Der Maßstab schlechthin” (The Ultimate benchmark). The GDP aims to be a singular metric to define economic success; I started wondering ho...

Democracy from the Perspective of AI
IntroductionWhen we talk about democracy, are we consistently talking about the same concept? How does the majority of us view democracy, and how does the data we produce (e.g., social media, news pages, YouTube, blogs, etc.) influence how artificial intelligence interprets the concept again? Definition Whenever I research a distinct topic, I typically start by understanding very clearly how the term that my research involves is being defined. My first resort is asking Google for the official...
