Horst Walther: 2010-06

http://horst-walther.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

I have been to several countries as travelling and exploring new countries, their nature and their people always was a kind of temptation and challenge for me. Of course I tried to prepare myself as carefully as possible. I read through the available literature, interviewed people who have been there already or citizens of those countries who for any reason happened to visit my home town and so on. Why did this happen? And why did it happen again and again? Die „Politik“ hat versagt – m...Die Politik, da...

Ist Bruno nicht umsonst gestorben? Viele hatten insgeheim mit diesem letzten Freibeuter gehofft und gebangt. Jetzt haben sich archaische Gefühle, die Mancher für überwunden hielt, in einer alpenländischen Bluttat manifestiert, die sicher noch die Gemüter bewegen wird. Auge um Auge, Zahn um Zahn? Dann sollte ein jeder von Euch hingehen und zu den Seinen sprechen und sie zu Jüngern ebendieser Idee machen – drei an der Zahl ein jeder und trage ihnen auf, es ihm gleich zu tun: drei Jünger an der Zahl e...

The ‘Googles’ in my dream. Last night I had a dream. I was checking my Google account. I was checking how many ‘Googles’ I still had there. They summed up to 2200 ‘Googles’ most of them I had bought from Google about 18 months back for 3000 USD. Yes, that was what Google could do with them: sell them and buy them back – but in several different currencies and of course in many different countries at a rate which Google fixed daily. And for me, what were they good for? Or did Google pay interests? After I...

Since times immemorial young men do what young men are genetically programmed to do – they go to war. This universal truth finds its proof since uncounted generations, unless they are distracted by women or tied down by job to the more prosaic earthy world. In its beginning the hopes were high. Even the word democracy was spread. Nowadays even the ages of the old dictators, many of them influenced by western leftist ideas, appear as the golden ages. They indeed led to a much higher standard o...

Eines muss ich zugeben, wir haben einen gebildeten, geradezu intellektuellen Papst. Und mutig ist er noch obendrein. Papst, schon wieder Papst? Hatten wir das nicht schon einmal an dieser Stelle? Um keinen falschen Verdacht aufkommen zu lassen: Religiös bin ich nicht und auch sonst nicht krank. Was sagte er doch neulich (oder war es unlängst? 8222; Der Islam heute steht da, wo das Christentum vor der Aufklärung stand. Oh je, dachte ich gleich. Das gibt doch sicher wieder Djihad, was auch sonst? 8220; Was...

Horst Walther: The Radical European Manifesto

http://horst-walther.blogspot.com/2012/05/radical-european-manifesto.html

The Radical European Manifesto. A European radical movement? Such thing, we think, is needed now. But why radical? Ok, here come the answers − one by one. If there are fundamental shifts happening, it may help to fundamentally re-think the situation. We want to come up with radically new responses derived from a few basic philosophical beliefs. The basic moral foundation needs to be applied radically different than in our current political parties. This approach appears to be sufficiently radical anyway.

Horst Walther: IAM, a purely organizational task

http://horst-walther.blogspot.com/2010/07/iam-purely-organizational-task.html

IAM, a purely organizational task. Identity- and Access Management (IAM) quite often is regarded as just another part of information security management. Oh my god, not a very pleasant situation – for IAM as well. But wait a minute, there is a solution – no, even two of them. Who said IAM is integral part of ISM? But why not IT? But who is mandated to (re-) organize to corporation? For me it was fun to ask this question again and again to different companies. Quite rarely I received a convincing answ...

Horst Walther: Where are all the Aliens?

http://horst-walther.blogspot.com/2015/02/where-are-aliens.html

Where are all the Aliens? Not long ago a colleague handed me over a book. “Here read this, it’s a classic.” It was the famous Arthur C. Clarkes “ Childhoods End. 8221;, a (science fiction) classic indeed. Here suddenly monstrous star ships arrived and positioned themselves above each major city in (our) world. But where are they? Brighter minds already noticed this anomaly, aka “the Fermi Paradox. 8221;, first introduced by physicist Enrico Fermi. He asked the question, “Where is everybody? All Intellige...

GenericIAM – time for a Re-Boot,. Dear colleagues it has become quiet in the GenericIAM forums ( Google. The Web-site ( GenericIAM. Is not up-to-date and the off-line activities have stalled. There are several reasons for that. But none of them should prevent us from overcoming it. But there is more about it. Let’s look back. There were some things we did right – and some we did completely wrong. This idea is still valid. Also the pressure of the modeling burden is still felt. Approach: Modeling bottom-u...

Horst Walther: What fools these mortals be

http://horst-walther.blogspot.com/2015/02/what-fools-these-mortals-be.html

What fools these mortals be. Just recently I (again) read a shocking story about ‘ How China's one-child policy has ruined the marriage prospects of its young men. 8217; How could this be? Such population growth measures just limit the population growth. They don’t have per se the potential to skew any gender distribution. – Well not per se, but … a bit further down in the article the innocent sentence “…, combined with a cultural preference for boys. So, what to do? You might have heard of the Earth Ove...
