Nope - but that should be interesting to investigate!

Is this an anti-capitalism, socialist manifesto?

Not at all! Rather, it's taking some works of Rudolf Steiner written in the early 1900's and bringing it more relevant to today.

I vaguely remember he was also an occultist back in his day, and studied the esoteric "arts". I could be mistaken.
Edit: I was correct. He was also a claimed clairvoyant.

Dang Marc, you get around.

Or T-MOSO 21 for short. That sounds like a Star Wars droid model though.

I would love to read a print copy. Easier on the eyes and what not. Admittedly though, I'm about scared to though. Let's just say in the past couple of years the amount of uneducated, lack of self-aware, and foolish rhetoric endured... pretty much left me jaded with humanity. And by folks you would not otherwise think were so foolhardy. People are more interested in being controlled by a television set than to do any critical thinking.
Anywho, from the PDF...
One thing that we have learned during the pandemic is that we can dramatically change our way of life overnight – look at the way we started working from home, bought fewer things, flew and ate out less.
It's been said (forgot by who) is that while humans fail at many, many things. Where they excel is in adaption (in the big picture). After all, that is the cornerstone of the evolutionary process - to adapt. Adaptation doesn't necessarily mean better or worse though, but when push comes to shove humans adapt. Although sometimes it takes a war for that to happen, but that's a different story. Let's try and stay positive-ish here.

Desperate Germans are now even flooding the Christmas market in Maastricht hunting for sausages and Gluhwein!
(no joke this is really happening at the moment)

Beware of gluhwein... it can be very sticky

Thanks! I'll stick to Gluhbier then

I have heard that Germans in general are misbehaving in hopes that Santa will bring them a lump of coal this year.
Desperate times…

Are they also telling people to stockpile copies of Police Academy and Airplane DVDs?

Click on the triangle between the two people, then use the WASD keys ...

All I can see between the two people is a space rocket on a table supported by some framework. I have refreshed a few times but still the same.

The spaceship is the "triangle" - I was trying not to give too many spoilers!
