0:00:31 – 0:00:39 Hello and welcome to a new edition of the digression. Where I occasionally or
0:00:39 – 0:00:45 Whatever, but some would almost never say deviate from the actual topic. me
0:00:45 – 0:00:55 I'm Sascha Machmann and say hello. Today's topic is "What's the truth?" And yes, I'm
0:00:55 – 0:01:01 In recent times, people have noticed that they are entitled to themselves or even the
0:01:01 – 0:01:11 Tell me, I have the absolute truth. I am the truth and want to
0:01:11 – 0:01:21 Let's talk today. The dilemma with the truth. We use the word daily with phrases such as
0:01:21 – 0:01:30 "Tell me the truth" or scientifically proven "My truth". But is it really
0:01:30 – 0:01:37 The same thing every time? We should perhaps define "truth" and "reality" for the first time.
0:01:37 – 0:01:46 Reality is what exists or happens. When it rains outside and we see it,
0:01:46 – 0:01:53 Then we can most likely say, yes, it's raining outside. If we now add this
0:01:53 – 0:02:03 Take weather radar and have a high-resolution picture of the rain, then we can say,
0:02:03 – 0:02:12 Yes, it's raining with us right now. That would be a reality that becomes the truth. But
0:02:12 – 0:02:22 First of all, these two things coexist. A truth can be subjective, and a truth can be subjective.
0:02:22 – 0:02:31 Reality is something that exists. So we can remember that reality is happening,
0:02:31 – 0:02:40 Truth arises where we try to translate this reality into language, numbers, or methods.
0:02:40 – 0:02:49 Translate. Sounds like a read, it is. Some people tell me they have the truth.
0:02:49 – 0:02:58 Recognized for itself. I can only do this with the help of Chatchibiti. Wink, wink. But we must
0:02:58 – 0:03:08 First, clarify or separate other terms. Truth, a statement, agrees with the
0:03:08 – 0:03:18 Reality about one. Knowledge, a statement that is true and for which we are comprehensible,
0:03:18 – 0:03:29 have reliable or supporting documents. Knowledge does not mean absolute fallibility. This is important,
0:03:29 – 0:03:39 Because I can also have false knowledge and then it is fallible. Certainty, a pure
0:03:39 – 0:03:48 personal sense of security, because when I am conscientious that I know something,
0:03:48 – 0:03:58 It doesn't mean it's right. So the feeling of security can be very deceiving,
0:03:58 – 0:04:07 You know the truth or you have that knowledge. Honesty. You say what you do for yourself
0:04:07 – 0:04:18 Keeps true. You can be honest and still be wrong. We just had, didn't we? The lie. Man
0:04:18 – 0:04:26 Deliberately claiming something that you yourself think is wrong in order to deceive. Then we still have
0:04:26 – 0:04:35 The error. You sincerely believe in false information. Then there are the
0:04:35 – 0:04:44 The wrong information. The wrong is passed on unchecked. It's a misdirection. They say one
0:04:44 – 0:04:54 true section to leave or create a false overall impression. If this is the case:
0:04:54 – 0:05:02 It was read aloud, it was read aloud, and it came from Chechypiti. I am unfortunately
0:05:02 – 0:05:12 I am unable to find such complex content thanks to my lack of cognitive transfer performance.
0:05:12 – 0:05:20 process. Now we come to a field in the natural sciences. There are
0:05:20 – 0:05:33 Truths are very important. For example, we assume or we know that a triangle
0:05:33 – 0:05:41 It always has 180 degrees. This is also true as long as this triangle is on a surface,
0:05:41 – 0:05:51 on a straight surface. If this area is curved, this triangle can have up to 270 degrees. To the
0:05:51 – 0:05:59 Example if this triangle is on a ball. Both statements are correct. Both
0:05:59 – 0:06:06 Statements are the truth. They only have different requirements and that is
0:06:06 – 0:06:15 also important. Because if you look at what we do in our everyday physics, let's say
0:06:15 – 0:06:23 those of the macrocosm, that is, the world visible to us, then these rules are the same for all of us.
0:06:23 – 0:06:30 And if I throw a stone from a tower, it will be with the and the speed, with the and the
0:06:30 – 0:06:37 Acceleration, which is always constant, falls to the ground. We can predict that,
0:06:37 – 0:06:44 We can prove this in an experiment and we can document it. These
0:06:44 – 0:06:53 However, rules do not apply in the other area, in the one macrocosm and what is the name of the other
0:06:53 – 0:07:01 The cosmos? My head is broken. In the world of quantum physics, for example, there are other
0:07:01 – 0:07:13 Rules for the same processes, but they exist at the same time. Somehow crazy. It
0:07:13 – 0:07:18 This is not my area. I don't know quantum physics very well.
0:07:18 – 0:07:24 I have to admit, I don't know. But we just saw it,
0:07:24 – 0:07:33 Two truths can coexist with each other.
0:07:33 – 0:07:43 Prerequisites. We can now also look at the whole thing in philosophy. What is
0:07:43 – 0:07:51 Truth from a philosophical point of view. And there we have different terms. We have
0:07:51 – 0:08:00 It is a subjective truth. This concerns the experience of an individual. For example, I feel it
0:08:00 – 0:08:08 Room as cold. Then we have the objective truth. This applies regardless of individual
0:08:08 – 0:08:17 Person. If you take out the meter and measure it, you can say, yes, this room has 17 degrees. Then
0:08:17 – 0:08:26 There is also the intersubjective truth. This is true for a number of people who have shared
0:08:26 – 0:08:33 Rules comprehensibly measure, for example, this temperature in the room. And they can then
0:08:33 – 0:08:41 Several people use tested thermometers to measure a temperature of 17 degrees.
0:08:41 – 0:08:51 That would be an intersubjective truth. So you can remember, objectivity means
0:08:51 – 0:08:58 Not that no one was involved. It means that the result does not depend on
0:08:58 – 0:09:06 It is the person who carried out the test. This can be done using mathematical methods,
0:09:06 – 0:09:16 Physical experiments, but also in everyday situations. Now let's get to the
0:09:16 – 0:09:26 Classical theory of truth. And here we come to the first term and that is correspondence,
0:09:26 – 0:09:37 the agreement. Statements fit reality. When I say the cup is there,
0:09:37 – 0:09:46 It can be proven several times that there is a cup there. I can take a picture of it,
0:09:46 – 0:09:53 I can bring witnesses, I can bring the cup when it's on the table,
0:09:53 – 0:10:02 document in different angles, make drawings and say, this is the truth,
0:10:02 – 0:10:11 The cup is there. This can also be measured using geometric methods. trigometry
0:10:11 – 0:10:18 can be placed here on tetrahylets and then stop as often as the surveyor in the small
0:10:18 – 0:10:25 Measure the scale of where the cup is in the room. Now on to the Corridor,
0:10:25 – 0:10:39 freedom of objection. I can check a statement, an event or, yes, that's enough,
0:10:39 – 0:10:49 whether different representations of one and the same vision coincide. For example, an
0:10:49 – 0:10:59 chain of events. How did the First World War begin? How did the Second World War begin? There's
0:10:59 – 0:11:07 Events that follow each other and which then result in a non-contradictory picture.
0:11:07 – 0:11:16 A problem with the thing is, a crime novel can be perfectly logical in itself, but still
0:11:16 – 0:11:32 Freely Invented. You have to check the chain of evidence or the evidence to make sure it is correct.
0:11:32 – 0:11:41 And to be true. Then there is pragmatism, probation in practice.
0:11:41 – 0:11:53 Truth claims show their value through testing or permanent probation. There you have to
0:11:53 – 0:12:02 Let's be careful. A lucky charm can really calm down before an exam. But he does not prove
0:12:02 – 0:12:12 supernatural forces. Something can be useful without being true. And yes, I have my own
0:12:12 – 0:12:18 I had a lucky charm when I went to exams. It was a little magical object,
0:12:18 – 0:12:27 Which was absolutely useless. But because I have a special meaning to this little object
0:12:27 – 0:12:40 It helped me to find the necessary focus to hold a good exam.
0:12:40 – 0:12:49 Delivering the result. Then there is the consensus. The ideal agreement. He meant it
0:12:49 – 0:12:59 Not a simple majority decision or a success of a propaganda action, but the agreement
0:12:59 – 0:13:08 reasonable parties under ideal conditions, free from coercion, manipulation or information control.
0:13:08 – 0:13:17 And that too was read now. You know, lack of cognitive transfer. So can
0:13:17 – 0:13:27 Consensus can be an indication of truth, but it is not a substitute for evidence. Yes,
0:13:27 – 0:13:38 Yeah, that's fine, isn't it? Let's now turn to the blog Everyday Life, Media and Society. My truth
0:13:38 – 0:13:48 versus Interpretation. Feelings are real as experiences. When someone is afraid of a noise
0:13:48 – 0:13:57 The night has. Is the feeling real? However, the cause may simply be that the cat is a
0:13:57 – 0:14:08 He threw the lighter off the table and it wasn't a burglar. Social constructs, institutional,
0:14:08 – 0:14:13 Indicative truth or reality.
0:14:13 – 0:14:27 Money, property, laws or borders do not exist by mere fantasy, but because we
0:14:27 – 0:14:37 they mutually recognize, institutionally secure and practically act to ensure that we have a
0:14:37 – 0:14:44 The social truth. The value of a bill, for example, is not in the paper,
0:14:44 – 0:14:53 it is stabilized by states, central banks, treaties and everyday acceptance.
0:14:53 – 0:15:03 A 10 euro note is not worth 10 euros because it says so, but because we believe or
0:15:03 – 0:15:12 because we know or because we believe it to be true that this note has a value of 10 euros and
0:15:12 – 0:15:19 It has a purchasing power of 10 euros. This is an interesting concept. Should we perhaps
0:15:19 – 0:15:26 Talk about it, too. There is a legal truth. A court asks,
0:15:26 – 0:15:36 what happens and what can be proven according to the rules of the procedure. An acquittal for lack of
0:15:36 – 0:15:48 Evidence does not necessarily mean that nothing has happened. It just shows that you don't
0:15:48 – 0:16:01 a chain of evidence or a lack of a chain of evidence cannot prove a historical reality; or
0:16:01 – 0:16:11 can prove sufficiently and this then leads to the free saying due to lack of evidence. Then come
0:16:11 – 0:16:17 Let's turn to a manipulative truth, the framing. There has been a recent one about this
0:16:17 – 0:16:26 Podcast of mine in disarray. I believe in 84. The interesting thing about framing is,
0:16:26 – 0:16:39 You don't have to lie. You just leave out certain little truths and keep going.
0:16:39 – 0:16:50 to a new truth in which context is omitted or comparator variables are changed. Let's take
0:16:50 – 0:16:58 For example, an example. The number of incidents has increased by 100 percent. This may now be in
0:16:58 – 0:17:06 sound dramatic at first when it comes to crimes or accidents at the nuclear power plant,
0:17:06 – 0:17:17 But if the number rises from 1 to 2, then that's true, it's a truth,
0:17:17 – 0:17:25 But it creates a completely different picture. For in the foreground is first,
0:17:25 – 0:17:34 The number of incidents has doubled. It is a distortion of the image. So we can
0:17:34 – 0:17:42 Not every manipulation needs a lie. Sometimes a full-fledged,
0:17:42 – 0:17:50 A carefully chosen truth, an apology, a carefully chosen truth. This memorandum was also
0:17:50 – 0:18:02 read. Thank you, ChatGBT, Gemini and Croc. Now there's another blog, that's the truth.
0:18:02 – 0:18:15 and power, but that's really very dull, let's say. Power does not decide on it.
0:18:15 – 0:18:26 what biologically or physically, mathematically, scientifically, it was, but it determined,
0:18:26 – 0:18:37 which discourse gains the upper hand, in which direction truth is formed,
0:18:37 – 0:18:53 what evidence, what evidence may be used. In the end, one can say,
0:18:53 – 0:19:00 Power cannot create reality arbitrarily, but it strongly influences,
0:19:00 – 0:19:08 which vision of reality is publicly visible, disseminated and socially
0:19:08 – 0:19:15 is recognized. You would also have to make an issue about it. We should do it in the future.
0:19:15 – 0:19:28 In summary, it can be said that not always what appears to be true can also be considered absolute truth.
0:19:28 – 0:19:36 apply. I've tried to show that there are different truths at the same time.
0:19:36 – 0:19:43 can give. And you always have to say, is that objective, is that subjective? And
0:19:43 – 0:19:51 I have the feeling that subjective truths are always very often taken as the truth.
0:19:51 – 0:20:00 will. 'Cause I've heard something, read something, which I then think is the truth, because it's also
0:20:00 – 0:20:09 Sometimes just my own opinion. Then there's the confirmation bias.
0:20:09 – 0:20:21 It's pretty much what's going on in different social media worlds when there's a truth in the world.
0:20:21 – 0:20:31 A bubble is considered true because all of them share the same or most of them share the same opinion.
0:20:31 – 0:20:38 Well, also an interesting topic. You'd have to do something about it. Perhaps one should
0:20:38 – 0:20:48 Just wonder what kind of statement that is. If it's a fact, it's an opinion, it's an opinion.
0:20:48 – 0:20:58 Feelings, is it an interpretation or even a prognosis? Then you should ask yourself, can you do that?
0:20:58 – 0:21:03 check. Is there data, documents,
0:21:03 – 0:21:10 The intersubjective process? So several people have seen this thing, there
0:21:10 – 0:21:16 Witnesses, even there the truth does not always equal the truth
0:21:16 – 0:21:22 is. Because people always pay attention to a little bit of other things.
0:21:22 – 0:21:30 You can already see that when there was an accident and you have 100 witnesses,
0:21:30 – 0:21:36 They will all tell you the same thing by and large. But there will also be deviations,
0:21:36 – 0:21:42 One of them looked at it, the other looked at it, the other looked at it.
0:21:42 – 0:21:51 If you look there, you can say that most of it happened, but the others did.
0:21:51 – 0:22:00 Things? This is very subjective, but it can be said that in general this
0:22:00 – 0:22:08 The accident that the witnesses describe happened as they described it. Then there are
0:22:08 – 0:22:18 How reliable are the sources? Is there self-interest in the sources? Or are
0:22:18 – 0:22:25 These sources are independently confirmed. In a physical experiment, the other
0:22:25 – 0:22:32 Scientists can reproduce the result. Then you can assume,
0:22:32 – 0:22:40 You can say yes, the result is true. It has been confirmed. You should always be
0:22:40 – 0:22:47 Are there uncertainties? And when there are uncertainties, those uncertainties became
0:22:47 – 0:22:57 Also named. It is not a sign of error or weakness, it is rather a sign of
0:22:57 – 0:23:08 Strength when considering uncertainties in the measurement method, uncertainties in the enumeration of facts, of knowledge
0:23:08 – 0:23:15 Openly named. And then you always have to ask yourself if you think you have the
0:23:15 – 0:23:24 Is there any information that could change your mind? If the honest answer
0:23:24 – 0:23:34 is, there is no, it is probably more of a defense of a non-truth, but rather
0:23:34 – 0:23:45 an opinion or identity that you would like to have this result. Finally, I would add another
0:23:45 – 0:23:59 Share some thoughts. Responsibly dealing with the truth. You don't have to go to everything
0:23:59 – 0:24:10 Have an irrefutable answer. One should separate rather cleanly according to what I know,
0:24:10 – 0:24:19 what do I guess, what did I feel, what did I hear and you always have to be honest
0:24:19 – 0:24:29 say and also ask, I know everything at all and there is no shame in admitting
0:24:29 – 0:24:38 If the answer is no. You can't always know everything, and I see it that way.
0:24:38 – 0:24:45 In the areas I am interested in, what rapid progress we are making. And
0:24:45 – 0:24:55 A few hundred years ago, people believed that the Earth was a disk. Then they are
0:24:55 – 0:25:03 People died for it because they then claimed that the earth was a bullet, even though it stopped.
0:25:03 – 0:25:09 They could prove that the earth is not a disk, but a sphere, because it is so simpler.
0:25:09 – 0:25:17 It is easier to see how the stars move in the sky. When the earth is not
0:25:17 – 0:25:25 to the center of a solar system, but stopped at its position, as
0:25:25 – 0:25:34 where she is today, then people died for it, even though they knew that so even better
0:25:34 – 0:25:43 It is as if the stars were moving in the sky as if the earth were in the center.
0:25:43 – 0:25:50 Everything moves around you. These people had a truth, but the general public had
0:25:50 – 0:25:57 Another truth and superiors, i.e. the rulers, also had their truth and their
0:25:57 – 0:26:07 Truth could not be a lie, because then one would have proved that what they believed in or that the
0:26:07 – 0:26:17 The higher power in which they believed was fallible and thus the entire construct in itself would be fallible.
0:26:17 – 0:26:25 Yeah, it's a bad thing, isn't it? And we've had that over and over again. There are still people today,
0:26:25 – 0:26:31 They believe that the earth is flat. And everything else is a lie. And they try,
0:26:31 – 0:26:35 with scientific and physical experiments to prove that the Earth is a
0:26:35 – 0:26:40 It's disk. And then wonder if the experiments indicate that the Earth
0:26:40 – 0:26:45 But it's not a disk. The experiment must be wrong. Or a miscarriage
0:26:45 – 0:26:52 We already have a few points with which we have discussed the plans,
0:26:52 – 0:27:03 What I read from Shadshibbit here and Gemini and Grok. If you have this knowledge
0:27:03 – 0:27:08 If you could take advantage of it and ask yourself the questions about it, you could come up with it.
0:27:08 – 0:27:15 that the truth you believe in is not necessarily the truth, the facts
0:27:15 – 0:27:22 correspond. And I've met in the past, especially in the recent past,
0:27:22 – 0:27:32 Again and again, that truths are created that are often repeated for others.
0:27:32 – 0:27:40 the truth, and then not so the actual truth is in the foreground,
0:27:40 – 0:27:49 But the truth which has been spread, which is true for all others, but is not true.
0:27:49 – 0:27:59 This is like the people who believe in the flat earth. It is a self-confirming group
0:27:59 – 0:28:07 You can't do anything about people and you can't do anything about it. But I'd like to ask you another question,
0:28:07 – 0:28:17 Or rather, two questions. How many of those we call truth have we tested ourselves?
0:28:17 – 0:28:28 How much of it have we heard often enough? This is one and the second would be,
0:28:28 – 0:28:38 When does your personal experience become a verifiable assertion about reality?
0:28:38 – 0:28:49 Write it to me in the comments, what ideas you have about it and argue this time
0:28:49 – 0:28:57 off. That would really interest me. That was it, that's over 30 minutes now
0:28:57 – 0:29:01 any ramblings of some idiot who reads a lot of chatshibiti
0:29:01 – 0:29:09 has. Thanks to this great, fantastic technology, without which I would not be able to
0:29:09 – 0:29:18 Just a meter from the door. Oh, I'm not that way. Well, joke,
0:29:18 – 0:29:25 Don't be scared. Thanks for listening and goodbye, see you next time.

‘Just tell me the truth!’ – A phrase that we can easily utter, but which poses a huge mystery to us. Because reality just happens – the rain out there is neither true nor false, it's just there. Truth only arises when we humans try to translate this reality into language, numbers or models.

In this episode, the abrasions Let us dissect the concept of ‘truth’ methodically. Why are mathematical truths always dependent on preconditions? Why does scientific honesty not mean absolute certainty, but the transparent disclosure of measurement uncertainties? And where is the boundary between our real, subjective experience and an intersubjectively verifiable fact?

We wonder why our own feelings sometimes deceive us, why consensus is not a substitute for evidence and why a statement can be literally true and yet highly manipulative (keyword: Framing). In the end, a five-step critical toolbox is waiting for you, with which you can test assertions in everyday life. Because in the end: Dealing responsibly with truth does not mean having an immediate answer to everything – but a clean separation between what we know, what we believe and what we simply do not yet know.

Knowledge pyramid: Rise of chaotic data about information, knowledge and understanding to radiant wisdom

Breakdown of topics

1. The entry: The dilemma with a big word

The everyday phenomenon: How we use the word ‘truth’ on a daily basis (‘Tell me the truth’, ‘Scientificly proven’, ‘My truth’).
Truth vs. reality:
- The reality: What exists and happens independently of us (e.g. the rain).
- The truth: A characteristic of our statements, figures and models about this reality.
The term check (the demarcation):
- Truth: Consistency of a statement with reality.
- Knowledge: A true statement based on reliable evidence – without the claim of absolute infallibility.
- Certainty: The purely personal sense of security (Can be deceiving!).
- Honesty: Tell them what you think is true.Does not protect against error).
- The spectrum of deception: The subtle differences between lies, error, misinformation and deception.

2. Block I: Logic, Prerequisites & Natural Science

Mathematical Truth (The World of Systems):
- Truth through logical derivation from axioms.
- The triangle example: Why $180^\circ$ angular sum on a flat plane and $270^\circ$ on a ball are not a contradiction, but depend on the prerequisites.
- The nerd excursion (Kurt Gödel): Why formal provability and truth are not completely identical even in mathematics.
Physical Truth (The World of Models):
- Science does not prove absolutely, but seeks empirical evidence through measurement and experimentation.
- The Newton-Einstein example: Theories as provisionally best approximations within certain limits.
- The measurement uncertainty: Why scientific honesty means making uncertainties transparent and measurable (criterion of falsifiability).

3. Block II: The Philosophical Toolbox

The three perspectives on statements:
- Subjective: The purely personal experience ("I'm cold").
- Lens: Applicable independently of the person (‘It is 17 °C’).
- Intersubjective: Under common rules for several people comprehensible (Testing with calibrated thermometers).
The classical truth theories in the hardness test:
- Correspondence: The direct correspondence with reality (the cup on the table – measured with the theodolite).
- Coherence: The freedom of contradiction in a system (The circumstantial puzzle). The problem: Even a crime novel can be perfectly logical, but freely invented.
- Pragmatism: Permanent probation in practice. The problem: A lucky charm can really calm down without possessing supernatural powers.
- Consensus: The agreement of reasonable parties under ideal, non-compulsory conditions (consensus as an indication, not as a substitute for evidence).

4. Block III: Everyday life, media & social power

My Truth vs Interpretation: Why feelings (like fear at night) are real as an experience, but the interpretation of their cause (the cat vs. the burglar) can still be wrong.
Social constructs (institutional reality): Why things like money, borders or property do not exist out of mere fantasy, but because we institutionally secure them and collectively act on them.
Legal vs. historical truth: The disparity between what actually happened and what can be considered proven in court proceedings under strict rules (e.g. acquittal for lack of evidence).
Framing (the manipulative truth): Why one does not have to explicitly lie in order to distort the truth (The example of ‘100%increase from 1 to 2 cases).
Truth and Power: How power structures influence which versions of reality are publicly visible, disseminated and socially recognized.

5. The final: The critical toolbox for practice

The 5 test questions for everyday life:
1. What kind of statement is that? (Fact, opinion, feeling, interpretation or prognosis?)
2. How can it be tested? (Are there data, documents or intersubjective procedures?)
3. How reliable is the source? (Is there self-interest or independent confirmation?)
4. What uncertainty remains? (Have gaps been openly identified?)
5. What information could change my mind? (The test against one's own Confirmation Bias).
Final thought: A plea for clean separation in one's own head: What do I know? What do I suspect? What did I feel? And where can I honestly say: I don't know yet.
Interaction / Call to Action: The final questions to listeners for discussion in the comments.

00:00 - 0:00:02 Music
0:00:02 – 0:00:31 [Music]
0:00:31 – 0:00:42 Hello and welcome to a new edition of the digression, where I occasionally
0:00:42 – 0:00:52 Occasionally, in fact, whatever, does not deviate from the topic. Greetings go out, dear Frank. Yes,
0:00:52 – 0:01:05 Today's topic is immunotherapy. The topic is currently with us, with me in the circle of acquaintances,
0:01:05 – 0:01:20 Family is just a big topic and it's just about an autoimmune disease and you can
0:01:20 – 0:01:27 with normal, with the classical forms try to treat this tome,
0:01:27 – 0:01:34 But you can also do immunotherapy and then just hope for better results.
0:01:34 – 0:01:45 So what is immunotherapy? It is a treatment that specifically targets the immune system.
0:01:45 – 0:01:57 It affects, rather than fighting symptoms or the pathogen. There are certain substances,
0:01:57 – 0:02:09 proteins, the defense system controlled in such a way that you get control of the disease or
0:02:09 – 0:02:21 even extremely containment. This can be imagined as a kind of software optimization in the body. In the case of:
0:02:21 – 0:02:31 In autoimmune diseases, this works really well because the immune system is so
0:02:31 – 0:02:39 is active and then attacks the body itself and the immune system becomes
0:02:39 – 0:02:50 throttled. In cancer or other infectious diseases, the immune system
0:02:50 – 0:03:00 strengthened, i.e. almost overactivated, in order to keep the weak immune system on its toes
0:03:00 – 0:03:10 bring. Why do you do that? To slow down inflammation, for example in the case of psoriasis or stop
0:03:10 – 0:03:23 in order to selectively block cells, i.e. division, or to cause – which is also very often – side effects,
0:03:23 – 0:03:34 which causes the normal treatment to stop, bypass or suppress. Because through
0:03:34 – 0:03:43 various forms of amplification by other drugs, that the side effects
0:03:43 – 0:03:49 The classic treatment then simply become so strong that it is no longer reasonable.
0:03:49 – 0:04:00 There are three functional mechanisms. There are different approaches, so that would be almost
0:04:00 – 0:04:14 Monoclonal antibodies, which are tailor-made protein molecules that block certain
0:04:14 – 0:04:23 Bodies of the immune system work by blocking the receptors on the antibodies. This
0:04:23 – 0:04:25 It's like a key-lock principle.
0:04:25 – 0:04:37 And through contact with pathogens, the cells of the defense system quasi learn the structure
0:04:37 – 0:04:43 know the pathogen and can then go so specifically before it.
0:04:43 – 0:04:52 By blocking them, these docking points, the immune system will stop for this one.
0:04:52 – 0:05:00 special pathogen type shut down. Then there are immunomodulators. These are
0:05:00 – 0:05:05 Medications that boost or lower the immune system in its activity.
0:05:05 – 0:05:10 It's like a power plant where you have more fuel.
0:05:10 – 0:05:14 If you add more fuel, it will go up, and if you add less fuel, it will go up.
0:05:14 – 0:05:25 Shut it down. So you can activate the immune system with certain substances and stop
0:05:25 – 0:05:32 Strengthen or weaken. And then there's the third group, that's vaccine-like.
0:05:32 – 0:05:43 Therapeutics. They specifically stimulate an immune response against a specific cell structure. Yes, these are
0:05:43 – 0:05:57 The three ways in which they work. Then there are combination preparations or combination terapias,
0:05:57 – 0:06:05 where two types are combined. But usually it's always one, two or three.
0:06:05 – 0:06:18 Main diseases are often acne, psoriasis, rheumatic diseases,
0:06:18 – 0:06:26 Where there are joint inflammations. Actually, these are a lot of inflammatory processes,
0:06:26 – 0:06:30 where you do this and this is also being researched all the time and you find again and again
0:06:30 – 0:06:39 new things. In Acne Inversa, for example, antibody therapy is used to treat certain
0:06:39 – 0:06:51 Inflammatory messengers, for example, this, now it is blocked very professionally, TNF-alpha. This
0:06:51 – 0:06:58 significantly reduces flare-ups and inflammation. Acne Inversa is a pretty nasty
0:06:58 – 0:07:10 diseases affecting the armpits, with inflammation, abscesses to severe scarring,
0:07:10 – 0:07:16 Not only outside, but also inside the tissue and in the groin under the armpits.
0:07:16 – 0:07:25 Actually, any region can be affected, but where skin rubs against each other or strongly
0:07:25 – 0:07:32 sweating and also strong
0:07:32 – 0:07:33 The production of sebum can be increased.
0:07:33 – 0:07:38 occur.
0:07:38 – 0:07:42 The benefits of therapy are that it works.
0:07:42 – 0:07:45 very targeted, much better than classic
0:07:45 – 0:07:50 Medications such as cortisone or broad
0:07:50 – 0:07:54 antibiotics, immunosuppressants.
0:07:50 – 0:07:59 There are far fewer side effects because only a small, specific part of the immune system
0:07:59 – 0:08:00 is influenced.
0:08:00 – 0:08:12 Disadvantages are, it is really very expensive, you can not take this at home because
0:08:12 – 0:08:19 it is given either by infusion or by syringe and because the drug is so expensive,
0:08:19 – 0:08:24 You can't get it in the pharmacy, either.
0:08:24 – 0:08:27 It is held in institutes, in
0:08:27 – 0:08:32 Ambulances, in the hospital or something
0:08:32 – 0:08:37 and may be administered there. And now comes a
0:08:37 – 0:08:40 Things that are serious too.
0:08:40 – 0:08:43 Depending on the type of
0:08:43 – 0:08:48 Treatment poses a risk to
0:08:43 – 0:08:52 Infection greatly increased. So I know people, that's at Acne Inversa, for example, they have to
0:08:52 – 0:08:56 Once again completely vaccinated, if the vaccination status is not exactly optimal.
0:08:56 – 0:09:06 That's really … So it can be expensive, because you need such special vaccinations,
0:09:06 – 0:09:12 In other words, the entire hepatitis group or something and you have to pay for it all yourself. And that beats
0:09:12 – 0:09:18 That's a total of 200 euros. Then you have to do an HIV test.
0:09:18 – 0:09:23 You have to take a pregnancy test. The normal one is not enough,
0:09:23 – 0:09:28 Which you can do at home. Then it must be done the pregnancy test on the blood.
0:09:28 – 0:09:42 Unfortunately, there are many benefits that the health insurance company does not pay for. Yes, these are the disadvantages.
0:09:42 – 0:09:51 And now we get to the point of why this is an issue for me. If you are as focused as
0:09:51 – 0:09:59 such a small Swiss army knife intervenes in the body, it is not far to the
0:09:59 – 0:10:08 Gene therapy, where you even make changes to the genetic information. And
0:10:08 – 0:10:15 And then, at the latest, ethical and moral aspects occur.
0:10:15 – 0:10:26 And yes, classical medicine is always designed to treat symptoms.
0:10:26 – 0:10:32 So I get there with a cough or a cold and then I get a hold
0:10:32 – 0:10:37 some painkillers, go the headaches and leather pains, then I get another one
0:10:37 – 0:10:47 cough reliever, maybe also a painkiller that works against fever, because I also have a little
0:10:47 – 0:10:55 I have a fever. And then I have 14 days of bed rest. The interesting thing is, with or without
0:10:55 – 0:11:00 I need pills for about the same amount of time, because the body just takes so long to take these pills.
0:11:00 – 0:11:07 Infection so far to get through that one is after that again efficient. I can only once
0:11:07 – 0:11:14 I once had pneumonia and it took me four months to
0:11:14 – 0:11:22 It was powerful again. I've been in the hospital for three weeks, and then I've got forever.
0:11:22 – 0:11:30 I had to wait until I was ready to go back to school and
0:11:30 – 0:11:36 Don't work, go to school. And I mean, that's where you sit on the popo most of the time
0:11:36 – 0:11:52 And don't do much. Of course, immunotherapy or gene therapy is complete.
0:11:52 – 0:12:03 other approaches. You almost treat the disease at the point of origin and you could even go as far as
0:12:03 – 0:12:08 Illnesses before they break out,
0:12:08 – 0:12:11 For example, in gene therapy,
0:12:11 – 0:12:17 by isolating and replacing the affected gene
0:12:17 – 0:12:20 against a healthy gene,
0:12:20 – 0:12:24 so that the disease would not break out.
0:12:24 – 0:12:26 There is a medication,
0:12:26 – 0:12:28 Now I don't know the name of it,
0:12:28 – 0:12:38 This is the case with spinal muscular atrophy.
0:12:38 – 0:12:46 This affects small children and if you do not inject the drug in time,
0:12:46 – 0:12:51 This gene therapy, then they also have no high life expectancy.
0:12:51 – 0:12:58 So this is a syringe and after that the child is so that it no longer gets sicker,
0:12:58 – 0:13:05 because nerve cells are broken down and well, they do not grow back and if there is a
0:13:05 – 0:13:08 If there is damage, then the damage remains, but it does not get worse.
0:13:08 – 0:13:13 And the sooner you discover it, the less damage there will be.
0:13:13 – 0:13:19 The only problem is, this syringe costs 1.5 million and the health insurance companies pay
0:13:19 – 0:13:28 I like 1.5 million. In the case of Acne Inversa and other autoimmune diseases, the
0:13:28 – 0:13:41 Therapy likes times so per syringe, per infusion between 4,000 and 8,000 euros. Some must be on
0:13:41 – 0:13:48 Be given at the beginning of each month and then later on in success you can try whether you can
0:13:48 – 0:13:57 Increased quarterly. So we're talking about
0:13:57 – 0:13:59 Really expensive costs. If you have these
0:13:59 – 0:14:03 Doing therapy, still coming
0:14:03 – 0:14:07 any laboratory tests, so
0:14:07 – 0:14:11 We like to cover costs in the quarter of
0:14:11 – 0:14:15 20,000 euros to speak. This is
0:14:15 – 0:14:18 A lot of money for a man.
0:14:15 – 0:14:25 And whether this is justified in relation to others and then we come back to the question, when is suffering suffering?
0:14:25 – 0:14:28 I can say I'm affected by psoriasis.
0:14:28 – 0:14:32 That wasn't so bad now, but that's annoying.
0:14:32 – 0:14:43 The only thing that matters is that when I bloom, I simply leave a mountain of skin.
0:14:43 – 0:15:00 That's annoying, that's really annoying. When I change my sheets, what I do weekly and then take down the sheet,
0:15:00 – 0:15:10 I still have a mattress protector under the bed sheet and this mattress protector is full of skin powder from me.
0:15:10 – 0:15:18 That's not horny now, but that's really a lot of skin, which is there.
0:15:18 – 0:15:23 So that's when you sweep that together, it's a small pile.
0:15:23 – 0:15:28 And what can I say about that? I can't help it.
0:15:28 – 0:15:33 I'm 40 years old, so I'm not 40, 39 years old.
0:15:33 – 0:15:37 I gave this to my body for my birthday.
0:15:37 – 0:15:47 That's when it started and I've been living with it ever since and that's okay.
0:15:47 – 0:15:53 As long as this is not who knows how it is in the face, but only the knees,
0:15:53 – 0:16:02 If my elbows are affected, that's all right for me.
0:16:02 – 0:16:11 But if I had this on my face or if other skin orders were so badly affected that the skin tears open, then I would look too.
0:16:11 – 0:16:15 I mean, then there's this MTX therapy.
0:16:15 – 0:16:23 This is also expensive and it really needs to be checked very closely, with blood values and so on.
0:16:23 – 0:16:27 And yes, I'll see if that's possible.
0:16:27 – 0:16:49 I mean, people who know me and know what my biography is like, I had 2018, no, 2016 was that, excuse me, 2006 I had a severe stroke and, since then, I also have to take a lot of medication.
0:16:49 – 0:16:57 And I don't know if the MTX is compatible with it, because my entire medication would have to be changed.
0:16:57 – 0:17:03 And if I know one thing, then I don't feel like having another stroke,
0:17:03 – 0:17:14 because to learn food, to learn speech, to relearn everything, to relearn fine motor skills,
0:17:14 – 0:17:20 because I was completely paralyzed on the half side, I couldn't swallow,
0:17:20 – 0:17:25 Toilets and everything had to be re-learned
0:17:25 – 0:17:31 and still have trouble today when I go upstairs,
0:17:31 – 0:17:35 Then I'm really scared.
0:17:35 – 0:17:44 And then I don't know if I'd rather live with the problem of psoriasis,
0:17:44 – 0:17:51 It's like being afraid to be as helpless as I was then.
0:17:51 – 0:18:01 It is an interesting experience anyway if you are an external media caregiver and
0:18:01 – 0:18:07 Then we need care.
0:18:07 – 0:18:14 That's why I can understand anyone who goes there and does immunotherapy like that.
0:18:14 – 0:18:22 As I said, this is not an issue for me, but stay with me in families, in the familiar environment.
0:18:22 – 0:18:31 And then those are the considerations. How does it work? What are side effects? Can I do this with medication?
0:18:31 – 0:18:39 And when I look at the track record that the person has, that's really respect.
0:18:39 – 0:18:45 So this person now has almost four weeks to make several appointments.
0:18:45 – 0:18:50 Thoracic X-rays of the thoracic cage must also be taken,
0:18:50 – 0:18:57 to rule out whether there is tuberculosis or another lung infection.
0:18:57 – 0:19:04 Yes, so there's really a lot going on and the person already had the first round
0:19:04 – 0:19:10 Vaccine refreshers and then also slight vaccination reaction. I'm not just talking about it now,
0:19:10 – 0:19:21 that the puncture site is a bit red, but neatly flash Peter and says,
0:19:21 – 0:19:27 That's awkward. I mean, that's the question and the way it is now.
0:19:27 – 0:19:36 In the case of a vaccination, the immune system is trained. Whether I'm there now dead material syringe,
0:19:36 – 0:19:48 so killed viruses, or whether I have genetic material with a virus, so where the genetic
0:19:48 – 0:19:55 material against which one now wants to vaccinate, the virus, is packaged in another virus, which is a light
0:19:55 – 0:20:03 Reaction of the immune system causes the immune system to stop being trained
0:20:03 – 0:20:06 the desired pathogen.
0:20:06 – 0:20:08 It's also totally crazy that this is the case.
0:20:08 – 0:20:11 Yeah, but most of the time it's kind of like that.
0:20:11 – 0:20:14 gastrointestinal infections,
0:20:14 – 0:20:18 Slight colds, so light renoviruses and so on.
0:20:18 – 0:20:24 And if you are unlucky, then you can get really sick.
0:20:24 – 0:20:29 I remember my mother had now stopped vaccinating against the viral pneumonia
0:20:29 – 0:20:33 She had just been in bed for three weeks.
0:20:33 – 0:20:36 She was also told that this could happen.
0:20:36 – 0:20:37 So it happens relatively often.
0:20:37 – 0:20:40 And if you're unlucky, you're really sick.
0:20:40 – 0:20:42 And she was really sick.
0:20:42 – 0:20:54 Quite unlike my corona vaccine I had, I had a few days with my arm a little bit hurt around the puncture site and then was good.
0:20:54 – 0:20:58 Yeah, so much for that.
0:20:58 – 0:21:05 You always have to consider where you have the benefit factor.
0:21:05 – 0:21:17 As I said, if at some point there is therapy and that would actually bother me so much with psoriasis, then maybe I would think about it.
0:21:17 – 0:21:24 But as I said, the aspect with the stroke, that was enough for me.
0:21:24 – 0:21:34 Then to the person with the Akneinversa. So if you go to the surgeon in a weekly rhythm or stop at the
0:21:34 – 0:21:39 weekend then can go to the hospital to cut any abscesses,
0:21:39 – 0:21:47 because you have such pain that you can no longer walk or even the T-shirt
0:21:47 – 0:21:55 If you can feel it on your skin, then I can understand that you are looking for every straw that helps.
0:21:55 – 0:22:01 If all this works and I really keep my fingers crossed that it works,
0:22:01 – 0:22:12 Then it will be a new life. And this is also the case with the syringe for the children with the
0:22:12 – 0:22:21 Spinal muscular atrophy. It's a damn expensive syringe. I mean, 1.5 million is
0:22:21 – 0:22:31 Damn a lot of money. But this will only save a human life, which otherwise only stops
0:22:31 – 0:22:39 It would go for a few years. Not everyone is lucky to be able to spend 10 years
0:22:39 – 0:22:46 Most of them died relatively early. And when that aspect comes along,
0:22:46 – 0:22:55 that life has so many great things to offer and you learn something new every day and actually
0:22:55 – 0:23:03 you're already terminally ill because you can move less and less and it must be just as bad
0:23:03 – 0:23:11 like ALS, where he sits in your body at some point and where the body then at some point
0:23:11 – 0:23:21 You can't breathe anymore because the nervous system has forgotten how to breathe. So I can
0:23:21 – 0:23:26 Understand, if you go and then say, "Yes, well, then I'm fighting to make my child
0:23:26 – 0:23:32 Get that injection. Or if you can afford to pay for it yourself,
0:23:32 – 0:23:39 Or find someone who pays for it. It's a lot of money and normal.
0:23:39 – 0:23:48 Immunotherapy is a lot of money. And when I think about what kind of aids I have,
0:23:48 – 0:23:57 which are in the 200-300 Euro range, I already have to fight with my health insurance,
0:23:57 – 0:24:04 Because something gets rejected all the time, I don't want to know what kind of fight you have.
0:24:04 – 0:24:17 Because of such a therapy, where it's about a little more money. In this sense, thank you
0:24:17 – 0:24:23 I'm glad you listened and I look forward to seeing you next time.
0:24:23 – 0:24:32 Deviation, where I'm guaranteed to deviate far too little from the actual topic,
0:24:32 – 0:24:40 What is the name of the diversion? And leave your greetings there. Your Sasha.
0:24:40 – 0:24:41 Farewell to you!

In this episode, the divergence I dive into the subject Immunotherapies a – a field of modern medicine that has made enormous progress in recent years and can be a glimmer of hope for many people affected by autoimmune diseases. But what exactly is behind the term immunotherapy? How does it work? And why is it becoming more common in diseases such as Acne inversa, psoriasis or Rheumatic diseases used?

I will explain to you the three main mechanisms of action of these therapies: Monoclonal antibodies, which specifically block certain receptors in the immune system, via Immunomodulators, which regulate the immune system in its activity, up to vaccine-like procedures, which are intended to trigger a specific immune response. I show how different these approaches work and for which diseases they are used.

In addition to the medical background, I also share personal experiences and observations from my environment. Especially with serious illnesses such as Acne inversa, It quickly becomes clear why targeted immunotherapy is often the only way out when classic drugs fail or are no longer tolerated.

But this is not the end of the topic: I'm also talking about the downsides of these treatments. High costs, Extensive preliminary examinations, Strict medical requirements and this Increased risk of infection These are factors that should not be underestimated. I also take a look at the ethical and moral questions that inevitably arise: How much influence can we have on our bodies? Is it okay if health insurance companies have to pay several thousand euros for a single treatment? And who decides which life is worth this effort?

This episode is not a medical talk, but a personal and critical look at a topic that affects many of us at some point – whether it is due to our own illness or in the circle of family and friends.

I invite you to think, to discuss and to take a different perspective. In the end, the question remains: When is suffering "bad enough"? And who determines that?

How common are pedophilic tendencies – and are there differences between men and women?

“This article explains clearly and objectively how to distinguish pedophilia from hebephilia, how widespread such tendencies really are – and clears up common misunderstandings. Scientifically substantiated, explained in a comprehensible way and without a blanket conviction.’

A difficult issue – but important

Pedophilia is one of the biggest social taboos. Hardly any concept evokes such strong emotions – between disgust, fear and moral indignation. The more difficult it is to talk about it soberly and fact-based. But that is exactly what is necessary if we really want to understand what is behind the diagnosis – and how often it occurs at all.

The diversion 50 propaganda? I beg you!

0:00:31 – 0:00:37 Hello and welcome to a new edition of the digression, as I guess occasionally,
0:00:37 – 0:00:48 In fact, they always deviate from the topic. Today's topic is for me one where I always,
0:00:48 – 0:00:57 I always have to brush my hair. It's about conspiracy theories and why the belief,
0:00:57 – 0:01:08 that public or public television is a pure propaganda tool
0:01:08 – 0:01:19 It is our government. Please play dramatic music to get the effect on the government.
0:01:19 – 0:01:33 Reinforcement. So, bam, bam, bam. Yes, in the course of my life and especially at the point where I
0:01:33 – 0:01:43 Once you've gone online, you'll find people here and there who are chosen to believe in more.
0:01:43 – 0:01:52 Like other people. So okay, I mean, I know some people believe in God or some other
0:01:52 – 0:01:59 higher being, which determines our destiny, others believe that the market regulates everything,
0:01:59 – 0:02:08 and others believe that the earth is a disk or a hollow sphere and many others
0:02:08 – 0:02:18 Things that are funny, strange, even if they aren't. I mean, everybody can believe,
0:02:18 – 0:02:28 He does what he wants, but there are people who take it for granted.
0:02:28 – 0:02:40 Scientific facts, facts are not accepted. So that you stop while
0:02:40 – 0:02:46 the pandemic is supposed to inject a bleach because it protects against the coronaviruses,
0:02:46 – 0:02:55 Because it kills bacteria and viruses on surfaces. It has to be in our body, too.
0:02:55 – 0:03:05 happen. It's a wonderful way to stop yourself, to commit suicide.
0:03:05 – 0:03:16 There are people who believe that if you get vaccinated, you get autism.
0:03:16 – 0:03:25 There is also a really cool story with a not very well worked out
0:03:25 – 0:03:35 Study with totally absurd conditions that give no statement. I believe in England
0:03:35 – 0:03:44 was made, and rests upon it, or sits upon it, this conspiracy,
0:03:44 – 0:03:53 Autism comes from vaccinations. Yes, there is a whole bunch of
0:03:53 – 0:04:02 Strange things you can talk about. When you have the fun
0:04:02 – 0:04:06 I want to talk to someone who thinks the earth is flat.
0:04:06 – 0:04:15 so-called Flat-Earthlers, who even call themselves so, you will be surprised what kind of
0:04:15 – 0:04:28 They have ideas to prove their theory. There are landings, which have a certain
0:04:28 – 0:04:39 Have distance, set up instruments, for example a laser, which is then just 1.50 meters
0:04:39 – 0:04:46 over the ground and strangely, he then hits on the other side, because he absolutely
0:04:46 – 0:04:57 is set up in Lot and in Libra, on the other hand also at 1.50 meters. If it were
0:04:57 – 0:05:05 Earth a sphere, then the ray of light would have to come higher, because through the
0:05:05 – 0:05:12 Earth's curvature and the straight beam of light, because it is not curved, would then have to stop the light
0:05:12 – 0:05:23 It does not reach 1.50 meters, but the further away it is, the higher. If you know,
0:05:23 – 0:05:28 That you can look to the horizon and the horizon is really damn far away.
0:05:28 – 0:05:35 I just checked again. I thought it was four kilometers, but it's about 4.5 miles.
0:05:35 – 0:05:46 kilometers. If you are about 1.70 meters tall, no, there are even more. There are 4.7 kilometers
0:05:46 – 0:05:54 even. Okay, the numbers fluctuate a little bit, if you now so quickly a Google search
0:05:54 – 0:06:05 Yes, but it's a few miles. And if you go now and only two or
0:06:05 – 0:06:15 a kilometre, then the measurement is simply not portable, because you actually …
0:06:15 – 0:06:22 It doesn't work because what you measure is within the measurement tolerance. There are also others
0:06:22 – 0:06:30 Attempts or there are attempts to explain why the sun moves so and the moon and the
0:06:30 – 0:06:37 Stars, so that it can be explained that we live on a disk. How this should work,
0:06:37 – 0:06:43 I don't know. It only works if you have approximately circular orbits or as in our
0:06:43 – 0:06:50 If the elliptical orbit actually falls so easily, the motions of the planets can be
0:06:50 – 0:06:56 Let's just explain our solar system. And then there's the idea,
0:06:56 – 0:07:04 that everything is a hologram, so even the starry sky, the projection, is a hologram
0:07:04 – 0:07:15 and it makes no sense now any funny ideas or even conspiracy theories
0:07:15 – 0:07:30 Stop enumerating. I'm more concerned today with what aggression, with what energy this
0:07:30 – 0:07:38 Theories are being tried to prove and why I am now also taking a critical look at the public
0:07:38 – 0:07:46 Legally speaking, that's exactly what it is. For me, these are the same mechanisms,
0:07:46 – 0:07:52 who are behind it. So if you're in a clique where you think you're,
0:07:52 – 0:07:58 If you know more like the others, then you will like such terms as "sleeping sheep"
0:07:58 – 0:08:05 It's for anyone who doesn't know what's going on. Definitions such as "we are
0:08:05 – 0:08:15 The Chosen Ones, we are the Enlightened Ones, Illuminati. And yes, what can I say about that?
0:08:15 – 0:08:21 That's where you feel exalted. That's so "Hach, I know,
0:08:21 – 0:08:27 What you don't know is this and that. Or "I'm so well-informed,
0:08:27 – 0:08:36 I can just move in my bladder or echo chamber, depending on what you want to call it, and
0:08:36 – 0:08:44 They all believe the same thing. And I've met people who are really stunned about it.
0:08:44 – 0:08:49 I didn't agree because everyone I interacted with
0:08:49 – 0:08:57 They are of the same opinion. And these are just these echo chambers or bubbles, as they say so nicely,
0:08:57 – 0:09:04 Because if I only move in these constructs, all people have the same opinion.
0:09:04 – 0:09:16 And if I now agree with 99 or 90 of the 100 people I know,
0:09:16 – 0:09:21 Almost everyone else must be of the same opinion.
0:09:21 – 0:09:29 And I've already been asked why I don't see this or why I don't think so,
0:09:29 – 0:09:37 Public broadcasting is controlled by the state. I mean, if I really
0:09:37 – 0:09:50 State television is watching what's happening in North Korea, China, or other dictatorships.
0:09:50 – 0:09:57 where the state really intervenes in the television programme or radio programme,
0:09:57 – 0:10:05 Television is different than ours. It can be said that there are media outlets that
0:10:05 – 0:10:17 CDU or FDP are more friendly. I mean, in the past, correspondence or
0:10:17 – 0:10:26 SMS or WhatsApp instructions posted by the owner to the editor at the image,
0:10:26 – 0:10:31 where it was said that you should be a bit more anti-green now and
0:10:31 – 0:10:40 should show more FDP friendliness or the entire green bashing in certain ways
0:10:40 – 0:10:45 Newspapers or other media. Yes, that's noticeable, but these are
0:10:45 – 0:10:52 Mostly private media, not public broadcasting. This is ….
0:10:52 – 0:11:02 I don't know, but when I read through what the regulations are and the mandate for them is,
0:11:02 – 0:11:07 then this is an independent one, because it is financed by fees – and it can now be said:
0:11:07 – 0:11:14 whether this is compulsory fees or anything else – it is fee-financed and thus independent,
0:11:14 – 0:11:25 because there is no one behind it who has an interest in increasing his money or has his interest,
0:11:25 – 0:11:36 steer others to increase their money. We can also look at America. I mean,
0:11:36 – 0:11:48 Fox News is a very Trump-friendly channel that is very benevolent about Donald Trump.
0:11:48 – 0:11:57 The President of the United States and his party. And there, no matter what
0:11:57 – 0:12:04 Strange things he does, which means that he sells the great ultimate. This is also
0:12:04 – 0:12:12 It's a channel that's driven by interests. I know this in the public debate.
0:12:12 – 0:12:20 Radio in Germany, this state radio, that there are also the accusations that there are interests
0:12:20 – 0:12:30 government to make certain polarizations in order to steer the people. And it is precisely this
0:12:30 – 0:12:40 The approach is in the media state treaty,
0:12:40 – 0:12:43 or in the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty, I am not
0:12:43 – 0:12:45 Lawyer, folks, there's a rule that he's
0:12:45 – 0:12:47 should be independent and that the
0:12:47 – 0:12:49 The state has no influence. Now could
0:12:49 – 0:12:51 They say yes, but in committees and so on.
0:12:51 – 0:12:54 Go ahead, there are a few
0:12:54 – 0:12:54 ordinary people,
0:12:55 – 0:13:03 Interest representatives from any areas and, of course, representatives of the government.
0:13:03 – 0:13:18 On the other hand, when I look at people like Dunja Hayali, I also see them in different places.
0:13:18 – 0:13:28 Follow social media on the channel, then it is not as if it would give me the impression,
0:13:28 – 0:13:41 That there is a propaganda behind it, almost a media guide, but that this is free.
0:13:41 – 0:13:46 Interestingly, all the moderators employed in public law,
0:13:46 – 0:13:53 They are not employed at all, they are freelancers, they are quasi-honorary workers,
0:13:53 – 0:14:01 they are only bought for certain things, employed, i.e. for a shipment,
0:14:01 – 0:14:06 for a format and this is regularly checked whether this continues now,
0:14:06 – 0:14:13 Funding above all else. All right, I'm a little digressive now,
0:14:13 – 0:14:21 I really wanted public broadcasting to be one,
0:14:21 – 0:14:32 who is the most reputable and not any self-appointed Hans and Franz and Rüdigers,
0:14:32 – 0:14:42 who start a small website and then try to drive their own agenda,
0:14:42 – 0:14:50 How bad that is. We saw what happened to Attila Hildmann during the corona phase
0:14:50 – 0:15:01 What happened to him, what was his name again? – former moderator Ken Jensen,
0:15:01 – 0:15:12 What happened there. They have all made their own formats on YouTube, their own blogs and
0:15:12 – 0:15:21 They spread strange ideas or even false information. When you stop
0:15:21 – 0:15:32 from the former picture editor Julian Reichelt looks at the new Linus format, where
0:15:32 – 0:15:39 innovated and the donors are also all very strange figures, then
0:15:39 – 0:15:49 You can see that there is quite a bit of opinion. Propaganda is nothing
0:15:49 – 0:15:54 Other than opinion making. You can really see that there is an agenda. And I wonder
0:15:54 – 0:16:05 Really, how in some places extremely intelligent people can believe that. Sure, I can
0:16:05 – 0:16:15 understand that with the way society is currently changing and with the
0:16:15 – 0:16:22 The upheavals that have occurred in the last 20 years, let's say 20 years, are not satisfied and
0:16:22 – 0:16:31 one realizes that if then, let's take as the heating renewal law, extremely
0:16:31 – 0:16:39 Getting uncomfortable because I have to adjust to higher costs because I'm making changes
0:16:39 – 0:16:49 This is because it can be extremely uncomfortable. I then go and say, no, I'm profound
0:16:49 – 0:16:58 oppressed. The government wants to. Now the Easter bunny must no longer be called the Easter bunny,
0:16:58 – 0:17:03 It is the seated rabbit. This is also very current at the moment. How to stop for Christmas
0:17:03 – 0:17:08 Instead of Santa Claus, Santa Claus or Santa Claus. By the way, there is one
0:17:08 – 0:17:15 The difference. One of them has a bishop's hat and the other one has a cap.
0:17:15 – 0:17:24 open. One is Nicholas, Saint Nicholas, a bishop and the other is just one, yes,
0:17:24 – 0:17:33 such a mythical mythical figure, yes, just so we know it, you could really
0:17:33 – 0:17:39 Sipfel beanie call man. The other, however, is Nicholas, because Saint Nicholas used to live
0:17:39 – 0:17:51 In today's Turkey, no white was relatively dark-skinned. Where had I stopped?
0:17:51 – 0:18:00 Exactly. That you can no longer say certain things, that I would be forbidden,
0:18:00 – 0:18:07 Saying things. I want my foam kiss to be called the way it used to be and I want my,
0:18:07 – 0:18:15 the other word for foam kiss, have buns again. Or that the schnitzel with
0:18:15 – 0:18:24 a pepper sauce again the word of a group persecuted during the Nazi period or even today
0:18:24 – 0:18:30 It's a stigmatized group's name. There was this little scandal now.
0:18:30 – 0:18:36 with Didi Haller, when he brought a sketch he had already brought many years ago,
0:18:36 – 0:18:43 I had a little bit more to say, and I actually complained about the fact that I was here today.
0:18:43 – 0:18:49 Certain things can no longer be said. This thing is falling right in front of my feet and it's going to be there
0:18:49 – 0:18:55 pretty torn. He is also a person who speaks out against gender. For me is
0:18:55 – 0:19:00 That's not a thing now, because language continues to evolve, like many other things. Because
0:19:00 – 0:19:06 We don't stand still. We are in a line of evolution and everything has its evolution.
0:19:06 – 0:19:13 Where had we been again? You can't say certain things anymore. And
0:19:13 – 0:19:19 The same goes for those people who think that you can't do certain things.
0:19:19 – 0:19:28 You can say more, like to go to such people, where you think that they are against it and that
0:19:28 – 0:19:37 who are also of the opinion that you can't say anything more, like Ken Jensen or a Julian
0:19:37 – 0:19:44 Reichelt. Because we still represent the only truth. We are the ones who dare.
0:19:44 – 0:19:50 To say what others no longer dare to say. And here we are again at the point,
0:19:50 – 0:19:55 There are people who believe they are the enlightened, they have the wisdom. With the
0:19:55 – 0:20:04 Funnel during childbirth as an enema. They are the ones who are special.
0:20:04 – 0:20:10 are. And when you look at what has become of some of these sad figures,
0:20:10 – 0:20:20 who have disappeared into a sinking because they have said things that are circumventive and
0:20:20 – 0:20:30 are anti-constitutional and therefore sought and those of Turkey have been submerged and that
0:20:30 – 0:20:36 There is no longer a word about it and that the wealth they received during their high phase,
0:20:36 – 0:20:43 where there were many supporters, where they gave speeches, even now almost used up
0:20:43 – 0:20:47 because a life is on the run, not cheap, then the … is
0:20:47 – 0:20:55 I always ask myself, how far do people believe what they are spreading?
0:20:55 – 0:21:00 And on the other hand, how much business is that? How much is the mesh and business?
0:21:00 – 0:21:11 In the current social media world, we also have people who once won a gaming prize,
0:21:11 – 0:21:17 as the best gamer in Germany and today her entire legal dispute
0:21:17 – 0:21:24 has. This stop leads with men who are allegedly misogynistic or their
0:21:24 – 0:21:30 In the opinion of misogyny, leads and all this is financed by donations. There will be
0:21:30 – 0:21:36 set up a GoFundMe donation campaign to stop these horrendous costs, it's about
0:21:36 – 0:21:47 In some cases, the value of the dispute is 20,000, 90,000 euros. And then you can use a process cost calculator
0:21:47 – 0:21:54 Let's recalculate. That's where sums of money come out. Other people buy a used car. And
0:21:54 – 0:22:01 I'm not talking about a 20-year-old car, I'm talking about a three- or four-year-old car.
0:22:01 – 0:22:11 If I have 25,000 euros in litigation costs in the sheets and I don't stop so much
0:22:11 – 0:22:19 Earn more because I'm controversial, then I have to do GoFundMe actions. And here comes
0:22:19 – 0:22:24 Surprisingly, it really makes a lot of money. Because there will always be people who
0:22:24 – 0:22:35 And even here I realize that when I go and put my ideas, my theories into the internet
0:22:35 – 0:22:46 blase, send that there are people who like this and also like to support me
0:22:46 – 0:22:56 offer or provide financial support. Yeah, that's what I really like,
0:22:56 – 0:23:03 Because without support, I wouldn't be able to do much of what I do. But that's not
0:23:03 – 0:23:11 The main reason I do this. I really enjoy the joy. With others believe
0:23:11 – 0:23:19 Is there really a monetized purpose? A monetized purpose? It doesn't matter,
0:23:19 – 0:23:24 I can't say the word right now. By the way, this is a consequence of my
0:23:24 – 0:23:32 stroke. I have a slight word-finding disorder. We've lost our way again.
0:23:32 – 0:23:40 Yeah, it's not about making me money here. It's about having fun.
0:23:40 – 0:23:49 And maybe make people think. I find it totally amazing,
0:23:49 – 0:24:00 What oddities are believed to be far from scientific facts.
0:24:00 – 0:24:09 I actually wonder, if I go and reject science, if I don't
0:24:09 – 0:24:17 I believe that if someone provides reproducible results scientifically and, above all, from others,
0:24:17 – 0:24:27 And you doubt whether people also doubt that 1 and 1 is 2. And if you add 2 and 2 together,
0:24:27 – 0:24:41 is it either the result of 4 times 1 or 4 times the 1, so 1 times 1 times 1 times 1, 1 plus 1 plus 1.
0:24:41 – 0:24:50 Oh, or if that's something else. I have no idea, I have no idea.
0:24:50 – 0:24:58 Yes, and if you've listened carefully now, you've just noticed,
0:24:58 – 0:25:03 I've ridiculed bullshit. Because 4 times 1, so 1 times 1 times 1 times 1.
0:25:03 – 0:25:11 Let's try what that is. That's not 4. That's something else.
0:25:11 – 0:25:24 But it doesn't matter. I've been eating for another 25 minutes. I think that's enough. I could still have so many
0:25:24 – 0:25:31 Examples bring and so many things I've experienced or stories I've experienced with people,
0:25:31 – 0:25:38 They believe in conspiracy theories. I'm not talking about people who talk about esotericism.
0:25:38 – 0:25:47 Believe in ghosts or ghosts. It's a very different story. But to the people,
0:25:47 – 0:25:55 They believe that governments, world events, are controlled and controlled by other people.
0:25:55 – 0:26:04 I can't rule it out, honestly. I can't rule it out. If:
0:26:04 – 0:26:11 If it's really well done or something like that, then it can be. But for me, and that's my opinion,
0:26:11 – 0:26:24 There is no indication that higher powers are manipulating my life in such a way that I am doing something.
0:26:24 – 0:26:29 Which I normally wouldn't do. So that I am so manipulated and thus propaganda
0:26:29 – 0:26:38 bombarded. Of course, there are things to do with public broadcasting.
0:26:38 – 0:26:47 suspend. Far too head-heavy, far too expensive, far too material, which I am not interested in.
0:26:47 – 0:26:55 But I don't have to watch the Musikantenstadel, I have to watch other people. me
0:26:55 – 0:27:00 I don't have to do the hit parade here either.
0:27:00 – 0:27:03 Other people are also watching this, most likely not the same as Musikantenstadel.
0:27:03 – 0:27:06 But it is consumed.
0:27:06 – 0:27:16 And when you think about what's going on there, radio, television, sites on the internet where I
0:27:16 – 0:27:25 God's word does not last forever, but only for a limited time.
0:27:25 – 0:27:31 The past can look at me. This would also be an interesting topic to discuss.
0:27:31 – 0:27:37 talk about how privately run media have influenced public service broadcasting,
0:27:37 – 0:27:43 that the Internet content is not available for all eternity, but only a certain
0:27:43 – 0:27:50 Time. This can even be seen when you listen to the podcasts of the Public-Legal Broadcasting
0:27:50 – 0:27:59 subscribed. It is always in the description of the issue how long this
0:27:59 – 0:28:06 are available. Sometimes it's only four weeks. Not because the storage sheet is so expensive
0:28:06 – 0:28:18 is or something. No, because there are provisions where media houses have exerted influence, because they
0:28:18 – 0:28:27 feared that public broadcasting would be a free, restricted
0:28:27 – 0:28:35 Archives are available where you can get information. Free of charge. I mean,
0:28:35 – 0:28:40 That's something we've already paid with our contribution fees,
0:28:40 – 0:28:47 They financed the broadcasting contribution. Yes, but now only for a short time as a diversion.
0:28:47 – 0:28:57 For me, it is one of the few media that reproduces the world in the most realistic way.
0:28:57 – 0:29:07 Not entirely falsified. There are still influences in there because people can't
0:29:07 – 0:29:11 Be 100% objective. It still plays a small opinion with pure,
0:29:11 – 0:29:19 Even if you try to be objective. That doesn't work. So, let's hold on,
0:29:19 – 0:29:25 Public broadcasting is a blessing to me. And no, I don't believe in it,
0:29:25 – 0:29:38 that the world is a disk or a hollow sphere or that we are in the toilet of an alien living being
0:29:38 – 0:29:48 We are the anus of the universe. In this sense, I would be glad if you
0:29:48 – 0:29:55 next time be there when it's called digression and say goodbye to your sasha

Description:

What do flat earth, bleaching agents against viruses and the perpetual ‘state radio’ debate have in common? In this episode, the divergence Sasha digs through the world of Conspiracy narratives – with a critical look, a touch of disbelief and a good dose of irony. Why do people believe in things that obviously contradict any scientific basis? And what does this have to do with uncertainty, echo chambers and self-staging?

Without being instructive, Sascha raises questions that occupy many: Where does healthy skepticism stop, where does targeted skepticism begin? disinformation? How do you recognise genuine media criticism – and what really distinguishes public service broadcasting from manipulated private media?

Those interested in the media, opinion-forming and the strange need of some people for ‘secret knowledge’ should not miss this episode. Not easy answers, but a lot of food for thought – in the style of divergence.
