What weights heavier - the changed communication style of a younger generation or the respect towards those who lost loved ones and may be offended by actions they perceive as a lack of dignity and respect?
episode 78: 2d78 - Suppressing the Christchurch shooting video is an illegitimate act of censorship!

Trade wars are deadly. But are they really deadlier than conventional wars and is that the only measurement to take?
episode 72: 2d72 - The free internet is dead!
The internet may be still free of charge but freedom on the internet is severely under attack. How much is left? Is hope already lost?
episode 71: 2d71 - Capitalism and solving global warming are incompatible!
We live in a capitalistic world based on growth and based on exploitation of resources. Is that mabe our greatest weakness when it comes to solve for problems like climate change?
