Today, I stumbled upon an article (sorry, it's german) http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/fake-news-bundesinnenministerium-will-abwehrzentrum-einrichten-a-1127174.htmlthat pretty much said the following: German officials are now really considering the option of establishing a "Ministry of defence against Fake News". For real this time. With elections around the corner, I think it's very likely for them to really go through with this. And when they do... Germany will have an actual "Ministry of Truth". I think I don't have to explain what will happen next. We will slowly drift towards a North Korea 2.0. Every "real news" will be pro-government, everything else will be flagged or most likely deleted. So my question is: What can I do? Is it already too late? I am VERY politically active, I try to spread the word as much as I can, I visit protest marches, I do everything that I can do peacefully... but from all the conversations, from all the experience I've gathered over the last couple of years, I slowly come to the conclusion that the majority of Germans either don't want to see what's happening or simply are too stupid/too indoctrinated to even care. If this "Ministry of Truth" really comes... and the majority of Germans won't rise up to their government (which is highly unlikely imho)... what then? Is a country that doesn't want to be saved worth saving? Am I wasting my time trying to save it? Is it time to flee the sinking ship, is it time to emigrate? For me personally, this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I really don't know what to do anymore... I'm slowly losing my shit knowing what's ahead of me/us Would really appreciate some input from you guys. Oh, yeah, and happy holidays!

Yeah don't recall Stef doing Livestreams either, but since there's a lot at stake, this would be a good first time

Hey there Stef, since a lot of us will be watching the election night, it would be awesome if you could do some sort of livestream. That would be so great! (And certainly more entertaining than watching just CNN/ABC/FOX/Whatever) Cheers!

That's why a PDF file or something similar would come in even more handy -> searchable. Just stuff all the text in a PDF file and we're good to go

Hi there, I've been a fan of your show for roughly a year now and I wanted to thank you for bringing me to philosophy, reason and evidence. You're putting a lot of work into your show and I really appreciate all the efforts you make. One small request, though: I listen to your Podcasts while driving and I am watching your videos while at home. Regarding "The Truth about" videos, I think there is a little bit of room for improvement - less text. It's always hard to watch a video which has lots and lots of text in it. Maybe you could bring up a small amount of "Core facts" in your presentation video and just read all the rest. Maybe put up a complete fact-sheet up for download afterwards. This way, I think it could be more fun to watch a "Truth about" video. Just wanted to give me 2 cents about it. Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany!
