The event not only changed him personally, but also his view of society. He sees our real problem in our refusal to accept that we could fail radically - and that at some point we and our lives will be over. Those who are prepared to look at the present from the end, on the other hand, deal with this present differently. In order to practice this view of one's own life, he has written an obituary for himself in his latest book. Thinking about ourselves in the sense of an obituary also helps us as a society, writes Welzer: The dictatorship of the present can most easily be broken from an imagined future. Barbara Bleisch asks what this thinking about the future really brings and why the option of failure should be promising.
