Fabian’s Zeitgeist is a globally-minded podcast exploring how current events, economics, social shifts, policies, and politics shape the world we live in.
I offer bold commentary and personal insight on topics that matter—not just to me, but to many. This podcast is my way of making sense of the world—and opening the door to thoughtful dialogue.
Whether you’re in Berlin, Boston, Bangalore, Bucharest or even in places that don’t start with a B, but where ideas are welcome, you’re in the right place.
I welcome critical and contradictory opinions. Why? Because, as Socrates said, Scio me nihil scire (“I know that I know nothing”) .
Only through open conversations can we learn, grow, refine our perspectives, and—even better—change them when presented with stronger arguments.
Thank you for listening in and for engaging with this journey of thought.
Warmly,
Fabian

From the trenches of Ukraine to the phalanxes of ancient Greece, from the birth of Israel to the battlefields of Syria and Afghanistan, we explore the primal and complex motivations behind warfare. Is it survival, belonging, identity, or moral conviction? And how do these forces shape not just soldiers, but entire nations?
We’ll examine:
The fading stream of volunteers in Ukraine and the moral dilemma of sending refugees back to fight
How fear and desire fuel conflict, as Napoleon once claimed
The emotional bonds that make people fight for their families, communities, and comrades
The abstract power of identity and moral values—and how they can both inspire and deceive
Why people in poorer nations may be more willing to fight than those in wealthy democracies
The paradox of peace: has comfort made us too soft to defend what we cherish?
This isn’t a history lesson—it’s a mirror held up to our present. Join me in this thought-provoking journey into the psychology, politics, and contradictions of war.
