SALON LUITPOLD | „Wot se Fack, Deutschland?“ | Mit Kabarettist Vince Ebert und Nikil Mukerji

In the second edition of the Skeptical Salon, Vince Ebert discusses the central theses of his new book Wot Se Fack, Deutschland? with the scientific director of the GWUP - Nikil Mukerji.

For Vince Ebert, one thing is certain: the world has gone off the rails. Feelings count more than facts - and we are in danger of losing the very things that have made our Western societies a model of success: Rationality, self-determination, freedom of opinion.

Why our feelings have lost their minds: that politics and ideology are being placed above knowledge and facts, the zeitgeist has increasingly abandoned the knowledge society and a culture of open debate and we urgently need a renaissance of enlightenment!
