Good morning, dear reader,
Something is wrong in the Federal Republic, and something is wrong. Public debate and political priorities often reverse course trivial things, while the real problem still exists. Moral knowledge replaces rational reason, sensitivity replaces the joy of innovation.
The consequences of these developments impacted the entire country: Despair and hatred spread, new ideas weren’t even thought through, anyone who didn’t follow the mainstream was shamed in the media. This means that many people feel they are no longer allowed to express their opinions. Such ideological politics have hindered pragmatic solutions for years in energy transitions, migration and social systems. That young people think that questions of identity are more important than technical discoveries and that gender language can contribute to improving the world. This is how young people grow up who use diversity to stop being heard regularly and also in their big hearts “LGBTQIA+ Representative” included, but looks to the future narrow-mindedly and avoids risks.
You have noticed that today we are talking about a hot topic. So, it was a good thing that I was able to win over a special guest whose observations formed the basis of the radical diagnosis mentioned above: Vince Ebert not only a physicist, but also a cabaret artist, combining two worlds that at first glance seem completely opposite. However, he shows why rationality and humor combine magically in his book “Wot se fack, Germany”, in which he holds a reflection of his country. Supported by scientific facts and laced with jokes, it leads to a general critique of the social mainstream. Left-wing media such as the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” and “Spiegel” panned the book, glorifying it rather than condemning it.
Do they agree with Ebert’s thesis or not: The nice thing is that other opinions make you think. Therefore, I hope you enjoy reflecting on what I hope will be a relaxing weekend. The next dawn will come from my colleague Annika Leister on Monday.
