Wot Se Fack – Why Our Feelings Have Lost the Plot
Armchair science – We live in an age where knowledge no longer matters
Vince Ebert explains how politics and ideology these days are prioritised over knowledge and facts. Now, there is a tendency to ignore facts, to discredit experts and to do away with the idea of a knowledge society that still values truth and debate. Ebert takes aim at this trend, providing historical context and calling for a second Enlightenment: a digital detox, a return to science and an end to self-imposed immaturity. If we are to overcome the challenges of the future, we need more knowledge, more reason and more science – not less.
