Herman tells us about how not only the hard sciences but also the soft sciences have been impacted by the post-truth paradigm and that these impacts are scarier that the climate deniers. Herman has a Masters in history and a PhD in law. He teaches ‘Political and Institutional History of Belgium’ and ‘History and Image’, among other subjects at the University of Antwerp. With his great enthusiasm, he was voted as the Lecturer of the Year on numerous occasions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
