Recording of the live stream December 1, 2018

We believe that during the conversation you will not only reflect on some of today’s issues but also enjoy a pleasant chat. :-)

  • What the professor’s private delusion looks like, even though he distances himself from it (07:27)
  • Why he considers campaigns like #metoo truly dangerous (29:06)
  • How he surprisingly answered the question “What is it like to be a scientist today in a bureaucratic maze?” (33:02)
  • What he sees as the best prevention against radicalization and fanaticism in society (39:38)
