https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken Every note is a question, a drawn thinking model and evidence from practice. Education, companies and AI, and what holds in between. en Sat, 05 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT https://zukunftbilden.eu/assets/og/zukunftbilden-og.jpghttps://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/emotions-atem https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/emotions-atem Sat, 05 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Twenty videos from August 2016, my own scaffold for handling feelings, here in full and with the year on top. In August 2016, at twenty, I recorded a video course about emotions in four modules whose initial letters spell ATEM, the German word for breath. This note shows the model, three passages I would take out today, and why the recordings sit here in the open. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/unzerstoerbares-mojo https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/unzerstoerbares-mojo Sat, 05 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education A book written in two nights, three days before turning twenty one, never published. In February 2017 I wrote a book for teenagers and never released it. This note shows what is in it, where the building blocks came from, what still holds today and what I say differently now. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-will-ein-gefuehl-sagen https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-will-ein-gefuehl-sagen Sat, 05 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Ten uncomfortable feelings, ten messages, and a first step for each one. In January 2016 I explained a compass for uncomfortable feelings across fifteen videos: four strategies people use to meet them, and ten feelings that each carry a message and a first step. This note shows the model, what I would leave out today, and where it still lives ten years later. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/bruecken-fertig-bauen https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/bruecken-fertig-bauen Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education A video from 2017 in which I watch myself stop at eighty percent. And what carries the last stretch today. On the evening of 22 November 2017 I told my phone why I leave projects lying at seventy to eighty percent. This note shows the distinction I drew back then between vision and execution, and what I concretely do differently nine years later. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-begeisterte-zuhoerer https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-begeisterte-zuhoerer Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Whoever understands an offer fastest is structurally rarely the one who can approve it. The YMAD guide on the target person shows who understands an offer immediately, and why that person can rarely approve it. With the three roles inside the building, the comparison that hurts only one of them, and what the research found about the right channel. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-erste-dominostein https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-erste-dominostein Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Momentum, kaizen and compound interest are one principle, and it starts with the smallest action that makes everything else easier. In December 2019 I put momentum from physics, kaizen and compound interest together as one principle and built the question about the first domino out of it. This note shows the method, the pull-up in the doorway and the honest verdict after ninety days of daily videos. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-schalter https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/der-schalter Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education One evening on a school trip, a plastic bottle, and the half second before it. For eight years I was the outsider. In 2016 I recorded two videos about the moment I stood up for myself for the first time and called it the switch. This note tells the scene, what the switch means in daily life, and what follows from it for a school. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/die-disney-methode https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/die-disney-methode Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Three roles, three seats, three rounds, and the decision only falls once all three have spoken. The Disney method separates dreaming, planning and criticising in space and time, so that none of the three roles quietly takes the lead. This note shows the sequence from a video of 2019, the questions for each role, and what it turned into in my company and in the work with AI models. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/die-offene-stelle https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/die-offene-stelle Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI An open marketing or content role shows, all at once, that the pain is real, the budget is approved and the decision is already made. An open role for marketing, content or AI reveals four things at once: the pain is real, the budget is approved, the decision is made, and there is a deadline. With four anonymised task lists from real ads and a tool that breaks down your own. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ein-seiten-lebensplan https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ein-seiten-lebensplan Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Thirteen fields, two and a half hours, and one page on the wall that you read 365 times a year. Between 2017 and 2019 I built a life plan that fits on a single page. This note is the full course: every field, the sequence, the rhythm, the typical mistakes, and what I see differently today. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ein-team-aus-modellen https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ein-team-aus-modellen Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI How to split the roles in your own model team: who thinks, who works, who only executes, and what that changes per month. A mental model from the Agentic Mindset Deep Dive: how to split the roles in your own AI model team, which model thinks strategically, which one works, which one only executes finely broken down tasks, and why that breakdown sets the price. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/einsatzfall-statt-tool https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/einsatzfall-statt-tool Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Five axes that let you judge in half an hour how orderly a company uses AI. The same software creates three use cases with three risks across three departments, which is why the purpose-bound use case is the unit somebody answers for. This note shows the five axis model from the KIRegister course, the moments a company feels the topic turn urgent, and how the same unit works inside an AI department. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/entwurf-statt-senden https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/entwurf-statt-senden Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI An email lands first as a draft, open in a browser tab, and only a secret codeword unlocks the actual send. A fixed two step rule against hidden instructions in outside content: the AI prepares everything up to a draft, open in a browser tab. With three check questions, two lists for the line between preparing and acting, and the evidence from the KI DeepDive of 3 August 2026. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/erfolg-und-erfuellung https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/erfolg-und-erfuellung Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Success can be copied from someone who already has it, fulfilment from nobody. Two levels in every area of life: the form, which can be learnt from people who got there, and the ground beneath it, which everyone has to find alone. This note shows the distinction from three videos of 2016, says openly where it came from, and what it turned into ten years later in the Three Keys speech. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/jarvis-leiter https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/jarvis-leiter Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Six rungs from paid chat to your own agent computer, with one recognisable mark per rung and a short check. The Hey Jarvis deep dive of 6 July 2026 showed a ladder with six rungs, from paid chat to your own agent computer that runs all the time. This note names every rung, says how you recognise it, and carries the tool for the self check. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ki-department-kosten https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/ki-department-kosten Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI The comparison with the role you would otherwise create, what 4,800 euros include and how the first month runs. The honest comparison is the role you would otherwise create. With a mental model, a calculator, the week plan of the setup month and evidence from the running mandate. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/knowledge-super-tools https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/knowledge-super-tools Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI These tools write code, but their real value sits in the work that otherwise eats up every day at the computer. A mental model from the Codex Agent Setup Deep Dive: why Codex and Claude Code are knowledge super tools for the whole computer, how to break one role into mini workflows, and where the quality gate sits. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/kritik-als-geschenk https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/kritik-als-geschenk Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Twelve assumptions the handbook attacks on its own, before anyone from outside can. Chapter 16 of the Paideia core handbook tests every piece of criticism: if it holds up from first principles, it gets built in, if it is only fear, it is taken seriously and answered precisely. This note shows four of the twelve named wrong assumptions, the difference between a ceiling and an optimum in the mentor ratio, and the test chain for new ideas. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/lass-dich-von-der-ki-interviewen https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/lass-dich-von-der-ki-interviewen Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI The agent often already knows what it is missing. One question draws it out. Based on the context it already has, the agent asks back what it still needs. A note from the "Agenten-Mindset" Deep Dive on prompting as a dialogue, with the four-step sequence and the prompt in full. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/loeschen-vor-automatisieren https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/loeschen-vor-automatisieren Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Five steps in a fixed order, and the gear comes last. A cymbal shows what that looks like in practice. The improvement algorithm in the Paideia core handbook runs five steps in a fixed order: question the requirement, delete, simplify, accelerate, automate. This note shows where the idea comes from in kaizen and first principles, the example of the cymbal, and what the order means for a company before an AI department takes over a process. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/macht-nachdenken-gruppen-klueger https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/macht-nachdenken-gruppen-klueger Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education On topics tied to group identity, more numeracy makes judgments more polarised rather than more accurate. The picture only turns once accuracy is rewarded. Kahan and colleagues showed that reflection and numeracy drive the camps further apart on identity-charged topics. This note explains the findings, the preregistered replication from 2021, the forecasting tournaments run by Mellers and Tetlock, and what follows from that for meetings and classrooms. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/mein-leben-in-einer-nacht-mit-ki https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/mein-leben-in-einer-nacht-mit-ki Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Speak everything into the model, let several models read it back, print it, then throw things out. In August 2024 I spent one night speaking everything that was running in my life into a model and turned it into a report of thirteen pages. This note shows the sequence, the filter I used afterwards, and what is left of it two years later. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/mit-14-eine-ki-plattform https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/mit-14-eine-ki-plattform Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Stanislaus joined Colearning at twelve to build a drone, and at fourteen he is the initiator of his own AI platform. Stanislaus joined Colearning at twelve to build a drone, and at fourteen he is the initiator and developer of the AI platform Teydra Lab. This note tells the path step by step, from chatbots traded for drone parts to the portrait in Salzburger Nachrichten, and shows the kind of room that made it possible. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/modell-tool-agent https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/modell-tool-agent Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI The engine, the car, the menu with a waiter, and a fleet with a project manager. Model, tool, interface and agent are four layers that get mixed up daily. This note explains them with a car metaphor, one example from company life for each, and what the difference means for buying decisions and for an AI department. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/prompten-oder-systeme https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/prompten-oder-systeme Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI The difference between a prompt that works once and a system of tasks, skills and gates that works again with every draft. The YMAD standard for agent departments describes what actually builds quality: clear tasks, reusable skills, self-checks and a fixed sequence of gates up to human approval. With the four answers every gate returns, the rules for escalation and cost, and the shorter path for technical work. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/spieler-oder-charakter https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/spieler-oder-charakter Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education You can admit your character is on level one without your worth hanging on it. In 2019 I worked through the contradiction personal development rests on in a livestream: growing assumes something is missing right now. This note shows the video game model behind it, what the player does and what the character does, and how close it sits to the maturity stages at the school. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/unangenehme-wahrheiten https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/unangenehme-wahrheiten Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Models default to being agreeable. Momo demands hard facts in his own core instructions, and these are the lines that do it. Language models default to a more agreeable version of the truth. A note on the lines that make an AI more honest, on your own writing style as a counterweight, and on what that means for a department that checks drafts before release. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/vision-quest https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/vision-quest Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Day one full of ideas, day two on the floor, and three words at the end that stayed. At twenty, in the middle of a two year trip, I spent three days alone in nature with nothing but water and a fire. This note tells what happened, where the idea comes from, and what is left of the motto explore, enjoy, share in a school and in the speech Three Keys. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/waechter-der-marke https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/waechter-der-marke Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI What the guardian checks, how a draft moves through the gates and why a human clicks at the end. Before a department writes, it learns to check. What the guardian checks, the four answers a gate knows, and how the review of 21 July turned into fixed rules. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/warum-selbstbeobachtung-taeuscht https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/warum-selbstbeobachtung-taeuscht Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Nisbett and Wilson showed in 1977 that we have no access to the processes behind our decisions. We do have access to the content, and content can be dated and checked later. Nisbett and Wilson showed in 1977 that people cannot see their own decisions from the inside and produce fluent, false explanations instead. This note shows which access remains, and how a dated commitment turns it into something checkable, in the word commitment at the Freie Schule Salzburg and in the open book World Modeling. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-in-der-ki-passiert https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-in-der-ki-passiert Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Your sentence is broken into blocks, a net guesses the next one, and your instruction is the stage direction. Four images from my own course videos add up to an explanation without jargon: the USB stick from an alien, the Duplo bar, the digital brain cells and the actor. Plus what follows for daily work and why a person stays the final instance. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-schule-heute-leisten-sollte https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/was-schule-heute-leisten-sollte Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education The question page sets out the thesis. This note shows what Paideia builds from it inside a real school. School should teach people to see the world more precisely, ask good questions and act effectively. This note shows how Paideia turns that into a triad of relationship, meaningful work and wisdom, and how Freie Schule Salzburg puts it into practice from the 2026/27 school year. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wenn-alles-schieflaeuft https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wenn-alles-schieflaeuft Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Four moves from a video in 2016, tested on a missed flight and on a stolen laptop. In November 2016 I recorded four moves for the first minutes of a crisis: advise yourself the way you would advise someone you love, ask what is usable, hold on to a sentence you trust, move your body. This note shows the four steps, the three levels of fear behind them and the two places where I speak differently today. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wenn-die-ganze-wahrheit-unerreichbar-bleibt https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wenn-die-ganze-wahrheit-unerreichbar-bleibt Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Four kinds of truth, a bridge made of one sentence, and a tension I have left open since 2019. In November 2019 I sorted out, across three videos, what separates subjective, objective, relativistic and absolute truth, and how to act when the objective version cannot be had. This note shows the four kinds, the sentence that connects two realities, and the counterargument I still do not resolve. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wer-versteht-laesst-sich-nicht-anstellen https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wer-versteht-laesst-sich-nicht-anstellen Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI More than 200 conversations with people who understand AI leverage. Nobody wanted the full-time role. More than 200 people who work professionally with AI were asked whether they wanted the full-time role at MyGym. Nobody wanted it. This note shows how I recognise leverage, why the AI enthusiast inside a company cannot fill the role, and what a department does instead. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wie-aus-einer-idee-eine-schule-wird https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/wie-aus-einer-idee-eine-schule-wird Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education The thought began at fifteen. Three old videos show what survived the trip from the first sketch to a real classroom. The thought of a school of my own began at fifteen or sixteen, the first video about it was made in June 2017, and in September 2026 seventeen children sit in a classroom. This note holds the old recordings against what actually stands today, and names the one point where I contradict myself. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/zugehoerigkeit-und-verantwortung https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/zugehoerigkeit-und-verantwortung Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Education Six stages, six objects, and at the bottom a stage every child is given on the first day. At Paideia the maturity stage system grades how much responsibility a child carries. This note shows the six stages with their objects, the decision of 20 August 2026 to add a stage zero that nobody has to earn, and the self-determination theory of Deci and Ryan behind it. https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/zugriff-schlaegt-prompt https://zukunftbilden.eu/en/denken/zugriff-schlaegt-prompt Thu, 03 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT Companies and AI Clean access to the right sources makes an agent stronger than the perfect wording. When read and write access are set up cleanly, the agent fetches its own context. A note from the "Hey Jarvis" Deep Dive on access engineering, with a list of what access covers day to day.
