Where his connection to the subject comes from
Johannes Max Harms grew up as the youngest of three children, with two older sisters. There were arguments daily, and the lesson was the same one every mediation teaches later: whoever insists on being right ends no conflict. Listening gets further, even when it takes longer.
That experience is where his interest comes from in how conflicts actually end, on a small scale as much as between states. It is the thread running through the content published under his name on this platform.
His background is not peace research but work with content and search systems. That is exactly his role here: not to interpret what peace means, but to make sure what experts can document about it gets found.
What he works on at W3ltfrieden
His field is findability: which page carries which subject, how the content is structured, what headings sit above it and how the paths between pages run. That includes the descriptions a page appears with in a search result.
The second part is the content series. They follow a fixed chain of questions so that entries stay comparable and their answers can be quoted, by people and by assistants alike.
The third part is sourcing. Every factual statement in these series rests on publicly available evidence, preferably from institutions that stand behind their accounts: the Federal Agency for Civic Education, the Federal Archives, the German Historical Museum, regional associations, universities, the United Nations.
The rules these texts are written by
First: no promises of effect. W3ltfrieden does not resolve conflicts automatically, and no text on this platform claims it does. What is described is what happened and what can be shown.
Second: no positions on parties or ongoing wars. The historical series recount how negotiations ran and what remained of them, without deriving a statement about the present from that.
Third: visible provenance. Every entry in the series names where its information comes from. Where tools help with a draft, people check the result before it appears. That is not a formula but how this platform works.
His standard
A text about peace that cannot back up a claim should not be published. Not even when it reads well.
