Alfred Fried's Birth Card: The 9 of Clubs

In the record

Alfred Hermann Fried (11 November 1864 – 4 May 1921) was an Austrian Jewish pacifist, publicist, journalist, co-founder of the German peace movement, and winner (with Tobias Asser) of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1911. The birth-card coordinate for November 11 is the 9 of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1911 Peace prize.

• 1911 The Nobel Peace Prize — for his effort to expose and fight what he considers to be the main cause of war, namely, the anarchy in international relations

The 9 of Clubs coordinate

Alfred Fried's birthday maps to the 9 of Clubs (The Humanitarian Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Nobel Prize and not a verdict on Alfred Fried. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You let a used-up framework go and keep the part that still works.

Alfred Fried in the public record

Fried was also a supporter of Esperanto. He is the author of an Esperanto textbook and an Esperanto–German and German–Esperanto dictionary, first published in 1903 and republished in 1905. Born in Vienna, Austrian Empire, Fried left school at the age of 15 and started to work in a bookshop. In 1883, he moved to Berlin, where he opened a bookshop of his own in 1887. Following the publication by Bertha von Suttner of Die Waffen nieder! (Lay Down Your Arms) in 1889, he and von Suttner began in 1892 to print a magazine of the same name. In articles published within Die Waffen nieder! and its successor, Die Friedenswarte (The Peace Watch), he articulated his pacifist philosophy. In 1892 he was a co-founder of the German Peace Society (Deutsche Friedensgesellschaft). He was one of the fathers of the idea of a modern organisation to assure worldwide peace (the principal idea was developed in the League of Nations and after the Second World War in the UN).
