This week, we're tackling a topic that's increasingly relevant in today's world Peter feels: The danger of uninformed opinions.
Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance – Plato.
Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes – Voltaire.
But that is only Plato’s and Voltaire’s opinion of course, the question is whether they were both either informed or uniformed?
It is about the importance of speaking from real knowledge, especially in a world where opinions can be hugely and rapidly amplified through various platforms - #socialmedia
DAS and Peter explore this topic that is (it becomes apparent after the recording) very similar to the infamous lost squid episode (how did that happen…).
As usual DAS tries to put together a list and Peter goes off-piste talking about airline travel in the 1970s.
