New guest article on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine sheds light on the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and the limits of modern forecasting models The coronavirus pandemic was not just a global health crisis, but also a massive stress test for economic forecasts. While governments, central banks and economic experts tried to assess the consequences of the pandemic, the reality in many places developed differently than expected. Inflation, growth, productivity and ...
More and more people have the feeling that their everyday lives have changed. Shopping, reading, making decisions - many things seem unchanged at first glance, and yet there is an increasing impression that decisions are no longer made solely on the basis of the situation. A new editorial on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is dedicated to precisely this phenomenon and explores the question of how modern sales strategies influence our behavior. The detailed article with the title „Gelenkt im Alltag ...
Many people live for years with complaints that can hardly be clearly categorized: recurring headaches, neck tension, a pulling sensation in the jaw, occasional cracking when opening the mouth or diffuse symptoms such as ringing in the ears, dizziness or concentration problems. These complaints are often viewed in isolation - from a dental, orthopaedic or neurological perspective, depending on the specialist field. An overarching understanding is often lacking. A new specialist article ...
The debate about fracking in Germany is currently experiencing a remarkable revival - not least against the backdrop of growing uncertainties on the international energy markets. A new, comprehensive editorial on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is dedicated to this complex topic in a depth and balance rarely achieved before. The article analyzes in detail the question of whether and under what conditions the use of domestic gas deposits in Germany will be a realistic option in the future.
The second part of a series of articles explains step by step how users can transfer their ChatGPT histories into a local knowledge database and make them usable with their own AI Artificial intelligence has long since become a daily tool for many. But while texts are generated, ideas are developed and analyses are created, one crucial aspect often goes unnoticed: Your own content disappears in the process. This is exactly where the second part of a new series of articles comes in, showing how ...
The development of Apple is one of the most influential stories in the modern world of technology. From an improvised start in a garage to a global technology group, the company has not only built devices, but also changed ways of thinking. The current article „Apple in transition“ on markus-schall.de combines this historical view with personal experiences and a specific occasion: a new Apple special exhibition at the Oldenburg Computer Museum. The result is a differentiated picture - beyond ...
Stress has long been part of everyday life for many people. Deadlines, obligations, constant availability and an almost unmanageable flood of information ensure that the body is constantly put into a state of heightened tension. What is often overlooked: Stress is not just a subjective feeling, but a complex biological process that affects the entire organism. A new specialist article in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is dedicated to precisely this topic - and shows why ...
The name J. D. Vance has been cropping up more and more frequently in international media coverage for some time now. For many observers in Europe, however, it remains unclear who this man actually is, what his unusual career looks like and what role he could play in American politics in the future. A new, detailed editorial in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine addresses precisely these questions - and attempts to place Vance's development in a wider context. It is about ...
While many people today experience the internet primarily via smartphones and social networks, a crucial phase is increasingly being forgotten: the early years of digital development. A new publication in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine takes up precisely this period and traces the path from the first home computers to modern content systems. The article „From Commodore C16 to WordPress: A journey through the early years of the Internet“ combines personal ...
New practical guide shows how users can save and structure their ChatGPT histories locally and integrate them into their own AI - without cloud dependency Anyone who regularly works with AI systems will be familiar with the problem: valuable thoughts, strategies and content disappear in the course of chats. What was clearly formulated yesterday can hardly be found today. This is precisely where a new series of articles comes in, showing how ChatGPT data exports can be transferred to a separate, local knowledge database - ...
Artificial intelligence is increasingly making inroads into areas that have long been considered unambiguously human. A new article by publicist and technology observer Markus Schall on the online magazine of M. Schall Verlag describes an experience that many people are likely to have more frequently in the future: a phone call with an artificial voice that can hardly be distinguished from a real person. The article entitled ‘ When I was on the phone with a robot - how AI is conquering the telephone and ...
The conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States has escalated dramatically in recent weeks. Missile attacks, military counter-attacks and the increasing international involvement of various players have led many observers to speak of one of the most dangerous geopolitical crises of recent years. In a new background article in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine, author and entrepreneur Markus Schall analyzes the strategic background to the escalation and presents the ...
The role of the Bundeswehr in German society has been discussed more intensively again for several years. The security policy debate in Germany has changed significantly since the war in Ukraine and the „turning point“ proclaimed by the Federal Chancellor. Questions of defense capability, military responsibility and social resilience are once again at the heart of political discussions. At the same time, issues that have hardly been discussed in public for a long time are also coming to the fore.
When millimeters change the whole body: New specialist article sheds light on the connection between dental crowns, CMD and body statics A new experience and analysis article has been published on M.

Europe between regulation and freedom of expression - An analysis of the new debate on hate speech and digital information spaces The question of freedom of expression has once again become a central political issue in Europe. New laws, digital platform rules and international developments are raising fundamental questions: How much regulation does an open society need - and when does it start to restrict free discourse? A new in-depth analysis article on the online magazine of the ...
Artificial intelligence has undergone a remarkable development in recent years. Systems such as ChatGPT, Claude and other AI models have now arrived in many areas - from writing texts and programming to strategic analyses. But while much of the public discussion revolves around computing power, model sizes or new functions, one crucial question often goes unnoticed: How is AI actually changing our own thought process? The new ...
Europe's energy policy has changed fundamentally over the past twenty years. What was once considered a stable, diversified supply architecture is now characterized by global markets, geopolitical tensions and structural dependencies. A new in-depth editorial in M. Schall Verlag's magazine provides the first systematic overview of this development - from the energy architecture before 2000 to the nuclear phase-out and the role of the USA as a new central player in the ...
With an extensive portrait of Johann Sebastian Bach, Markus Schall is publishing an extraordinary article on the online magazine of M. Schall Verlag, which shows the Baroque master not only as a composer, but also as a person, a worker, a family man - and as someone whose attitude still has an impact today. The text combines musicology, biography, humor, personal experience and social classification to create an overall picture that appeals to both connoisseurs and interested laypeople. The ...
A new article combines animal biology, time perception and AI development How do animals experience time? Why do cats seem so lightning-fast - and why do machines appear increasingly superior to humans? A new background article in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine sheds light on these questions from an unusual perspective, covering a range of topics from perceptual biology to evolutionary strategies and artificial intelligence. The article shows that differences in the temporal ...
The news has caused quite a stir in the technology world: Apple is apparently planning to base the technical foundation of Siri on a large language model from Google in future. Specifically, we are talking about Gemini - the AI system that Google has massively developed in recent months. If this integration is confirmed, it will mark a strategic turning point for Apple. After all, it is not about a small functional improvement, but about the question of how intelligent an operating system can be in the future. In ...
A new, detailed portrait in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is dedicated to the artist Helge Schneider - and deliberately approaches him beyond the usual attributions. Because Helge Schneider is neither just a comedian nor just a musician. He is a figure between seriousness and playfulness, between jazz and absurdity, between improvisation and discipline. This portrait traces the path of an artist who consistently avoids any clear-cut categorization - and who has been a leading figure for decades precisely ...
The Two Plus Four Treaty of 1990 is regarded as the foundation of German unity under international law. It not only regulated the external aspects of reunification, but also defined the security policy framework for a united Germany. For a long time, this treaty was regarded as historical - as a document of a bygone era. However, the current security policy debates in Europe show that its contents are by no means merely of a museum-like nature. A new ...
Electromobility is considered a central component of German climate policy. Hardly any other technology has been so heavily promoted, politically advertised and socially charged in recent years. In a new, detailed specialist article in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine, publicist and entrepreneur Markus Schall analyzes electromobility not from an ideological perspective, but from a systemic point of view: What is the actual overall balance? What role do subsidies play? And what ...
In times of growing geopolitical tensions and price-sensitive energy markets, the question of security policy and international relations is moving to the center of public debate. The current background article „Russia, NATO and the fear of war - what can be proven and what cannot“ in M. Schall Verlag's online magazine starts right there: it classifies assertions, political statements and strategic interpretations in a differentiated way, shows verifiable statements from speeches and reports and ...
With an unusually calm and personal contribution, M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is expanding its series of contemporary history texts to include a perspective that is often missing from current debates: remembering without accusation. The starting point of the essay is an idea that Harald Schmidt recently formulated in an interview - namely that our present day may lack the grandparents who were still able to talk about the war themselves. The article takes up this impulse and links it to his own ...
The BRICS group of states has increasingly been the focus of international attention for several years. With the expansion of the alliance, growing economic figures and ever new geopolitical interpretations, there is a great need for classification. A recent editorial on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine is therefore dedicated to the question of what BRICS actually is - and what it is not. In around 8,000 words, the article traces the development of the association of states from its ...
A comprehensive new article on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine sheds light on the political, social and geopolitical situation in Syria following the end of the Assad era.

The aim is to provide a differentiated view that goes beyond simplistic narratives. From a secular state to a fragmented power structure Before the civil war, ...
In the digital age, countless pieces of content, profiles and reach are created every day. Click figures, followers and visibility are often seen as a measure of success. But what of this actually represents lasting value? A new, comprehensive editorial entitled „Digital property explained - how sustainable online assets are created“ on M. Schall Verlag's online magazine gets to the bottom of precisely this question and sheds light on which forms of digital property are sustainable in the long term - and ...
War, terror, murder and violence are once again part of everyday public debate. At the same time, one aspect is often missing that goes beyond political justifications and ideological assessments: the question of what killing a person does to the person doing it. In his new essay „Is killing undignified? A sober question about murder, terror and war“, author Markus Schall sheds light on this often suppressed perspective on the online magazine of M. Schall Verlag - without accusation, without a moralizing tone and without ...
M. Schall Verlag's online magazine dedicates an extensive long portrait to one of the most striking personalities in German cultural history - Nina Hagen - and deliberately expands the focus to include her daughter Cosma Shiva Hagen. The result is not a classic celebrity article, but a calm, differentiated portrait of her origins, attitude and inner independence over two generations. The text deliberately avoids hero worship, scandalization or nostalgic glorification. ...
