MaiThink X – The Show

There are many dark stories circulating about the pharmaceutical industry and its greed for money that stops at nothing.

Climate protection costs money, and at the moment it is mainly the wrong people who are paying this price: households with lower incomes, which hardly cause any greenhouse gases. Wealthier households, on the other hand, produce larger amounts of CO2 but do not feel the pressure from rising energy costs to the same extent. This not only endangers climate protection but also social cohesion. Many people are already cutting back heavily on heating and are burdened even more financially by climate protection measures. Yet there are solutions that can cushion social hardships and make climate-friendly living easier. Climate bonus, climate money, eco money – different terms for the same concept. MAITHINK X examines the question of why it isn’t in our bank accounts yet.

We all experience pain, sometimes more, sometimes less. As a warning system, that’s a good thing. But what very few people know: our healthcare system actually breeds chronic pain patients. Because the longer pain is not treated effectively, the greater the risk that it becomes chronic and never goes away. The care of those affected is already catastrophic, and their numbers will foreseeably continue to increase. On top of that, most people – unfortunately often even medical staff – misunderstand pain. MAITHINK X provides clarification.

Scientific findings influence daily life, drive progress, and enable new treatments. But access to this information is often expensive and restricted. Behind this lies an absurd publication system in which billion-dollar publishers keep science in a stranglehold and charge taxpayers twice.

Even research itself is divided on the subject of sugar. MAITHINK X takes a critical look. Opinions differ when it comes to sugar. Some are convinced that it is as addictive as heroin and should be avoided as much as possible. Others believe it only depends on the “right kind” of sugar. Still others monitor their blood sugar levels down to the minute, seeing it as the key to a healthy life without sacrifice.

The next pandemic is certain to come – the only question is when and how. MAITHINK X – The Show explains why the risk of pandemics is continuously increasing. And it shows why humans are such a grateful host for pathogens. How we are practically inviting the next pandemic, what fur collars have to do with it, and how we can already prepare for the next pandemic.

Mai Thi takes the audience on a humorous, insightful journey through the history of science and explains what all this has to do with the so-called Matilda Effect. We owe much of our standard of living to scientific discoveries and breakthroughs – and we celebrate the brilliant minds behind them. But what if the wrong people are celebrated? What if discoveries were simply stolen? Because the denial of scientific achievements has a long history.
