Who do I still talk to, and who do I no longer talk to? Who is so politically distant from me, who strikes me as so contemptuous of humanity, that they've disqualified themselves as a conversation partner? And what do these personal perspectives mean for the greater whole of our democratic coexistence? It seems as if political discourse is becoming ever more heated and irreconcilable, the choice of words increasingly drastic, the views ever more radical. But this observation is by no means limited to politics; social media is being insidiously undermined by hateful, denigrating, and violence-glorifying comments about everything and everyone. Are we becoming a society full of bullies? Why have the fronts become so entrenched, what has changed in recent years? And above all: How do we get out of this whole mess?

"When Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." This first sentence from Franz Kafka's story "The Metamorphosis" is quite rightly considered one of the best novel openings in literary history. Yet there's essentially nothing more boring than beginning a story with the main protagonist waking up in the morning. But Gregor Samsa doesn't just wake up—no, he "awakens" from "troubled dreams." A process that is interrupted the next moment by the devastating realization that he has been transformed into a monstrous vermin. And how does Gregor react? After realizing that these aren't one of his restless dreams (for he recognizes the details of his room), he really wants to turn over on his side and go back to sleep. But work calls, and the family is waiting with breakfast...
