"'Enemies of science' are not the people who question numbers, studies, and measures, but those who want to suppress open debate about them.

Quote about distortion of worldview in natural science and technology by Prof. Dr. Markus GabrielCopyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork

"In times of war, there is a level of information control in reporting that is abhorrent in the case of traditional wars. In the case of a pandemic, however, one must take less democratic measures from one moment to the next [...] Over the past two years, with the outbreak of the pandemic, we have seen that the way our world is organized is outdated.
