Life


Gerald Hüther was born on 15 February 1951 in Emleben, Thuringia, East Germany (now Germany).[3] According to his own statement, he "[...] ließ die Schule über [sich] ergehen und hoffte, dass sie bald vorbeigehen würde [...]" ("[...] he just endured school and hoped it would pass soon [...]").[4] He attained his Abitur in 1969[3] with a grade average of 1.5[2] and studied biology at the Universität Leipzig.[5] In the late 1970s, he fled from East Germany because it "[...] dort viel zu eng wurde [...]" ("[...] got too tight for him there" [...]")[6] by faking his visa.[7][8] From 1979 to 1989 he conducted research in the field of brain development at the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen.[9] In 2016, he ended his university career.[3] He published approximately 150 original papers.[3] Hüther is the initiator and director of the Akademie für Potenzialentfaltung (Academy for developing potential).[10] He was also an author and member of the advisory board of the German online magazine Rubikon,[11][12] but left it on May 11, 2021.[13]

Hüther has two daughters and a son.[14]


Personal views



School system


Hüther is a sharp critic of the current school system in Germany, thinking the schools there treat children like objects.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] He is of the opinion that schools in Germany are deliberately so bad that they produce as minor voters as possible and thus the needs of as many people as possible are disregarded, whereby they seek as many substitute satisfactions as possible, „[...] damit wir genügend Kunden für den Müll haben, den wir hier ihnen andrehen wollen [...]“ ("[...] so that we have enough customers for the rubbish that we want to sell them here [...]").[19] He thinks that schools in their current state are largely a waste of money because they are too inefficient.[23]


Schulpflicht


Hüther is against the Schulpflicht (a German law forcing young people to go to a school) because it is „[...] das Furchtbarste, das einem überhaupt passieren kann [...]“ ("[...] the most terrible thing that can ever happen to you [...]" if you ask young people why they go to school and their only answer is „Weil ich muss“ ("Because I have to").[19] He thinks that children want to learn[24] and supported the 2019 feature film CaRabA #LebenohneSchule, initiated by Bertrand Stern, which introduces unschooled, free-educated people.[25][26]


Universal basic income


Hüther is an advocate of the universal basic income (UBI).[27] He also thinks that there will be a basic income in the near future because many employees will be replaced by robots or machines which are cheaper, more efficient and more accurate compared to humans and do not complain in contrast to humans.[1] He thinks that the current school system in Germany trains people for those professions that will no longer exist in the future because they are being automated.[28]


Hierarchy


Hüther thinks that the world has become so complex that hierarchy as a form of rule has become too star to control people which is why hierarchies in social structures like companies are increasingly being dismantled.[19]


Reception


According to German magazin Manager Magazin, Hüther is „[...] der bekannteste Hirnforscher in Deutschland [...]“ ('[...] the most famous neuroscientist in Germany [...]".[10]
