The theme of the conversations between Dirk Baecker and Alexander Kluge is the question of which theoretical tools can be used to approach the management of everyday life, which derives its continuation from the sum of smaller and larger failures. Every intelligence compensates for a breakdown. A corporation, a marriage, a battle, or a perception is only possible because they continually attempt to solve problems that cannot be solved. An old therapist's wisdom also suggests that it is better to tend to problems than to solve them, as this way one at least knows where one stands. This wisdom is followed in these conversations to explore phenomena from corporate management to marriage, battle, and the perception of consciousness, focusing on their unlikely and only thus successful reproduction. Thoughts from Heinz v. Foerster.
