"It is not healthy to interpret criticism directly as an attack."
What happens when perceived concern becomes social orientation? We live in a time when emotions have become one of the strongest currencies in social debates. Anyone who contradicts with facts is quickly considered an aggressor. This reduces the space for nuance. Vince Ebert describes the result as a society that is tearing itself apart because it has forgotten how to argue.
"There is no right not to hurt other people's feelings."
Vince Ebert is a physicist, comedian, and bestselling author—but above all, he is a rationalist. In this episode, he talks to Georgiy Michailov about self-irony, cancel culture, and the quiet radicalism of the woke movement: why it disguises itself as tolerance but achieves the opposite. With radical honesty, Ebert examines the fusion of emotion and argument and analyzes how this causes us to squander the space for mutual progress.
"Humor is a stress test for thought control."
Vince Ebert describes a society that no longer seeks solutions, but rather culprits—replacing open discourse with moral clarity. It is about responsibility instead of victimhood, education instead of ideology, freedom instead of welfare. And he talks about a political system that does not encourage personal responsibility, but rather dependence and conformity. A conversation for everyone who is looking not for the most comfortable, but for the clearest thoughts.
