Samenvatting

Four big themes really matter to our world: 1. Necessary transitions to secure our survival on the planet. 2. Decreasing confidence in political will/ability to do what is necessary. 3. Structural undermining of the working class through continuous technological development and its uncritical acceptance by political and educational institutions, and 4. The rise of an increasingly radical underclass (conspiracy theories). We discuss them all in an informal conversation with a service technician. We come to conclude that “we” (scientists, politicians, etc.) may be the real conspiracy theorists with our belief in one truth/science/progress/future!
