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!
