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

Working Until We Drop? Aging, Labor, and the Future of Pensions
In a world where lifespans are rising and pension systems are creaking, are we all destined to work into our 70s — or beyond? This episode dives deep into the changing nature of retirement, the politics of aging, and the hidden costs of demographic shifts. From Germany’s push for “active retirees” to the global scramble to patch social safety nets, we ask: Is the future of retirement a soft landing or just another uphill climb? Featuring historical context, personal storytelling, and ideas from leading philosophers, this is a candid conversation about dignity, work, and what it means to grow old in a fast-moving world.
