Ist es verantwortungsvoller Journalismus, wenn man einen Menschen durch einen solchen Artikel in Gefahr bringt? Ich halte dies für unverantwortlich und falsch. Die Gefährdung und Gefahren hätte Der Spiegel auch anders genauso treffend thematisieren können und sollen.

In 1987, Patrick Stewart refused to unpack his suitcase for six straight weeks. My throat still tightens every time I read why. Every Hollywood insider told the 47-year-old British stage actor that Star Trek: The Next Generation would be a disaster. Even his closest friend, Ian McKellen, begged him not to throw away his Shakespearean career on a television gamble. Stewart kept his bags packed by the door, waiting to be fired and sent home to London. That "six-week failure" lasted 36 years. Watching him late at night here in Japan, we saw something Hollywood never expected. In Japan, we call this quiet, unbreakable spirit "Fudoshin," an immovable heart under fire. Most action heroes scream and fire weapons to look strong. Captain Picard never needed to raise his voice. Born into deep poverty in Yorkshire, terrified of a violent home, he left school at age 15 and lost all his hair by 19, convinced his life as an actor was over before it began. Yet one English teacher, Cecil Dormand, handed that frightened 12-year-old boy a copy of Shakespeare, said "Read it out loud," and secretly paid for his first drama course. Never forget what happened decades later. On the morning Queen Elizabeth II knighted him as Sir Patrick Stewart, he invited that same retired schoolteacher to sit beside him at his knighthood luncheon. No suitcase left unpacked. No rage on the bridge. Just a cup of Earl Grey tea, a tug of his uniform, and three quiet words that commanded the galaxy: "Make it so." He passed away at 86 surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, and laughter. And this December, in Avengers: Doomsday, Professor X will grace the screen one final time. A boy who thought he wouldn't last six weeks in Hollywood gave the world an eternity of nobility. From Japan, with tears and our deepest salute: Thank you, Captain. Engage. ✨🖖🇯🇵

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work. My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Der Chef von Audi macht Wahlkampf für Trump - aber der eigentliche Skandal ist ein anderer!

Audi darf und soll als Unternehmen tun, was gut für Audi ist. Unternehmerische Freiheit gilt auch bei Standortentscheidungen. Wenn sich der Vorstandsvorsitzende aber als PR-Bühne für Donald Trump einspannen lässt, ist das keine Wirtschaftspolitik, sondern Propaganda. Und sie nützt weder Europas Sicherheit noch unserer Wirtschaft, denn beidem schadet Trump massiv, nicht zuletzt durch seine Anbiederung an Kriegsverbrecher wie Putin. In den USA sollen 4.500 Stellen entstehen, der Aufsichtsrat muss noch zustimmen. In Deutschland fallen gleichzeitig 7.500 Stellen weg, bei 20 Prozent weniger Absatz. Das ist die Rechnung für Managementfehler, kein Zukunftskonzept. Wer sich als Wirtschaftsliberaler versteht, nimmt Unternehmen ernst, auch in ihren Fehlern. Wegsehen ist keine liberale Haltung.
