Vince Ebert — Vince of Change

It still exists, the good news: A member of the last generation recently had a child. In Berlin, there is a Senate resolution according to which new roads may only be named after female persons. Dead ends included. A new study by the Ministry of Economy shows that solar parks can provide enough electricity even at night if the systems are operated under floodlights. Technically, this would already be possible today. But the big companies unfortunately prevent this.

Scientific cabaret artist and physicist Vince Ebert takes stock: Have we become more rational, more prudent or even smarter in recent years? Spoiler alert: No, we're not. Only 18% of the population wear a bicycle helmet, but 91% use a protective case for their cell phone.

When reality becomes more and more satire, when government statements are virtually indistinguishable from postillon articles — how can you top that as a satirist?

But Vince Ebert doesn't give up. On the outside, he may be an old white man. But that is only a social construct. In “Vince of Change,” he identifies himself as a 32-year-old tanned surf instructor from California and thus addresses completely new target groups. Because his mission concerns us all: In an era that threatens to sink ever more through feelings, sensitivities and irrationalities, he defiantly raises the flag of reason. And he also needs the money.
