He is convinced that religion, racism, classism, and other human made divisions and boundaries have torn humanity apart and strives for the promotion of Sapienism, scientific literacy and critical thinking. Gerhard has written four books and numerous academic and popular articles and has given lectures and talks on a variety of subjects. He founded the movement Great SA through which he challenges people to commit to building a better, open, and inclusive and sustainably functioning society.
