On 18 March 2026, initiated by Fabio Masini and Susanna Cafaro, we discussed possibilities for “Future Projects” and decided to embark on what Fabio referred to as a “journey.” On 23 September 2026 – almost exactly six months later – we reached a first significant milestone in our journey. We…

global governance, global democracy, and healthy technology
Three CEOs just agreed AI needs to be slowed down. None of them explained who gets to decide.
For a few days this month, the western Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry appeared to agree on something unusual. Within days of each other, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and xAI’s Elon Musk all agreed in public that frontier AI is advancing faster than anyone’s ability to understand or control…

2026 state elections in Saxony-Anhalt show significant demand for global democracy
On 6 September 2026, 1,706,851 people were obliged to vote the new state parliament within the state elections from Saxony-Anhalt – which is part of the Federal Republic of Germany since 1990. The election shows two main insights for politics in my view and both are based on a global…
global warming, climate disruption, and biodiversity loss
UN officially admits: Reducing burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), meat production (beef, pork) and deforestation failed. It is time to vote.
It starts with “calling the child by his name” – global warming, climate disruption, and biodiversity loss is rooted in two key drivers: (1) “Greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions from (a) burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) and (b) industrial meat production (beef, pork), and (2) Deforestation.
The United Nations’ official announcement from September 02, 2026 – which comes at least 10-years too late – that keeping global warming within the “1.5°C limit” for a stable climate failed, means concretely

Elon Musk wants to “deal out” the global AI governance with his “buddies” from Silicon Valley in a bi-weekly call
To be clear from the outset, this is precisely not what we believe constitutes healthy AI governance. Instead, it represents the most dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a few individuals – most of whom display the maturity of a defiant child and embrace a trash culture “style…

2026 “NATO” summit shows significant demand for global democracy
We have a dream: Just one day without any armed conflict on our planet Earth. Do we need more and/or better, or less and/or no weapons to actually realise this dream? Reading “The Ankara Summit Declaration” from July 08, 2026 – the official final text from the 2026 “North Atlantic…

Why the “AI” safety field is in demand for better questions
I spoke currently with an economist who specialises in “artificial intelligence” (AI). Thoughtful, well-read, deeply engaged with the question of how “artificial intelligence” will reshape economic activity. At some point the conversation turned to “economic growth”. While I mentioned physical constraints, his answer came “Like physical limits? But they at…

IDGR becomes a member of the “Article 109 Coalition”
We have a very clear focus on how to develop our dream of a “Global Democratic Republic” – based on all our experience with start-up, organisation development, change management, and transformation projects. In our view, the best way to develop and to achieve our dream is by evolving it from…

How the “AI-mediated Third Space” can develop healthy “artificial intelligence”
Democracy is more than a political system – it is a dynamic process of participation, dialogue, knowledge creation, and collective innovation. Its resilience depends on the ability of societies to connect diverse perspectives, foster trust, and translate knowledge into healthy action. Universities play a pivotal role in this process through…

“World Environment Day” 2026: Building global democracy for climate action
As the world observes World Environment Day 2026 (every year on June 5), humanity is no longer discussing global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity as a distant environmental concern. It has become an immediate reality shaping economies, public health, migration, food systems, and political stability across continents….
