The Majority Paradox

What happens when the very middle of society no longer feels heard? Journalist and bestselling author Jan Fleischhauer explores this question in his lecture on the book "The Majority Paradox". He describes a phenomenon of our time: Many people believe they are alone in their opinion – and are surprised to find that others think similarly, but remain silent. Why does this feeling of lack of representation arise? What are the consequences for our democracy?
Look forward to an intelligent, sharp, and discussion-friendly evening full of food for thought. A lecture for everyone who wants to better understand social developments and engage in conversation.
Jan Fleischhauer, born in 1962, studied philosophy and literary studies in Hamburg. After 30 years at "Der Spiegel", where he worked as a bureau chief in Berlin and economic correspondent in New York, he switched to Focus in 2019. He is the author of several bestsellers: "Among the Left", "How Dare You! The Advantage of Having Your Own Opinion When Everyone Thinks the Same". His columns are among the most read and discussed opinion pieces in Germany.
We look forward to relaxed networking and stimulating exchange of thoughts afterwards - drinks are on us!

Matthias Deutschmann - Propaganda à la carte

Political scientists have been presenting one book after another for years: Our democracy is not doing well. It is fading away, showing signs of decay, or simply coming to an end. No democracy lasts forever. Is democracy like cabaret? Is it an outdated model, or are we already living in a post-democracy? The offer of pessimism is abundant. What to do? Our federal owl at Schloss Bellevue doesn't know either, but is ready to assist in clarifying gloomy dystopias: "We can only find the way into the future in the light." It is dark in the audience. The stage shines brightly. The show can begin.

By the way: Pessimism also relies on a lack of information.

Philipp Weber - "Power to the Popel: Demokratie für Quereinsteiger"

Admit it, you just read "Power to the People" and internally hummed the wonderful song by John Lennon. But this title is not a typo, as Philipp Weber's cabaret piece is all about the little "Popel," which according to Duden refers to an "insignificant and pathetic little person." However, it is actually the task of democracy to shape the scattered tiny ones into a self-controlled populace, the sovereign sovereign. But how quickly can the Popel also turn into the Pöbel? Political scientists have been warning us for some time now that more and more Germans are growing weary of democracy. How can this be? Is democracy not the fairest of all forms of government, because only it can guarantee that citizens are not governed better than they deserve? According to unofficial surveys by the federal government, 75 percent of Germans believe that three-quarters of Germans are total idiots. But who actually has the say around here? The People, the Pöbel, or the Popel?

The answer is simple: Philipp Weber. In times when representatives and distorts of the people tirelessly invoke the crisis of bourgeois society, the cabaret artist practices with his audience the most valuable democratic virtue: humor. For aren’t comedy, wit, and esprit the most dazzling weapons of a resilient democracy? And whoever can chuckle at their own thoughts and actions with the necessary irony will not fall victim to their own narrow-mindedness. Thus, true democrats primarily laugh about one thing: themselves. So laugh along and protect democracy!

Power to the Popel: Demokratie für Quereinsteiger

Admit it, you just read “Power to the People” and internally hummed the wonderful song by John Lennon. But this title is not a typo, as Philipp Weber's cabaret piece revolves around the little “Popel,” which the Duden defines as an “insignificant and pitiful little human.” Ultimately, it is the task of democracy to transform these scattered little ones into self-controlled people, the sovereign sovereign. But how quickly can the Popel also become the Pöbel? Political scientists have been warning us for some time now that more and more Germans are becoming tired of democracy. How can this be? Isn’t democracy the fairest of all forms of government because it alone can guarantee that citizens are not governed better than they deserve?

The People, the Pöbel, or the Popel?

The answer is simple: Philipp Weber. In times when representatives of the people and manipulators of public opinion endlessly invoke the crisis of civil society, the cabaret artist practices the most valuable democratic virtue with his audience: humor.

But this title is not a typo, because in Philipp Weber's cabaret piece, everything revolves around the little "Popel," which according to the Duden refers to an "insignificant and pathetic little person." It is actually the task of democracy to shape the individual tiny beings into a self-controlled people, the sovereign sovereign. But how quickly can the Popel also become the Pöbel? Political scientists have been warning us for quite some time now that more and more Germans are becoming tired of democracy. How can this be? Isn't democracy the fairest of all forms of government, because only it can guarantee that citizens are not governed any better than they deserve? According to unofficial polls by the federal government, 75 percent of Germans believe that three-quarters of Germans are complete idiots. But who actually has the say here? The people, the mob, or the Popel?

The answer is simple: Philipp Weber. In times when representatives of the people and distorters of the people solemnly invoke the crisis of bourgeois society, the cabaret artist exercises the most valuable democratic virtue with his audience: humor.

Claus von Wagner - "Projekt Equilibrium"

Projekt Equilibrium

Do you remember when we took democracy for granted, so much so that “casting your vote” meant: staying silent for four years after the election?! Those times are over. Democracy is under pressure, something has gone out of balance. The political world is in motion. It can get dizzying. We stand firmly on the ground of the Basic Law, but somehow it has felt more stable before.
“Projekt Equilibrium” is a program about the search for balance in a world thrown out of joint – a satirical and furious dance on the brink of the apocalypse.

Claus von Wagner's latest program combines the tradition of American stand-up comedy with topics that are damn well not funny, and words like debt brake, special funds, climate crisis, inheritance tax reform, or inequality suddenly become strangely entertaining! No idea how he does it, but one thing is for sure: It promises to be an incredibly good evening. No less. And sometimes even a little more.

“A disturbing assessment of our time, only ‘screamingly funny.’”
(Abendzeitung München)

“A rare, necessary source of courage.” (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
