Marius Sältzer @msaeltzer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Try to make sense of what he could have seen in his world, and of us. And show respect of the choices that made this person the individual he was. Be thankful of the opportunity to know him. Even just a little bit. 1141
Marius Sältzer @msaeltzer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We are smart people. We have theories, data, and answers to everything. But not to this. How someone who is one of us, can leave, within a moments notice. Become a memory in a second. He leaves us and we can't say no more. We can just remain silent. Try to see the world from his eyes for a moment. 1102
Marius Sältzer @msaeltzer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Philipp leaves a hole. A hole in our minds that noone but him could ever fill. With his own creativity noone could emulate, with his own style noone could attempt to copy, with his own expectations noone could could fulfill, not even himself. Now we stand in front of this and dont know what to do. 1101
Marius Sältzer @msaeltzer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Over the last year Philipp became more than a colleague, but a friend. He leaves us speechless, depleted, and bereft of one of the smartest and precious people we could consider our own. I can't fathom what his family feels now. The news of his death felt like a punch to the face. 1131
