Bundeswirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck (Grüne) habe Philosophie studiert und sei Kinderbuchautor, er selbst sei Jurist. "Uns beide eint Folgendes: Wir beide haben von Technologie keine Ahnung. Er nicht und ich auch nicht", sagte Merz weiter. "Und deswegen dürfen wir uns nicht anmaßen, heute politisch zu entscheiden, welche Technologien in 10, 15 oder 20 Jahren die richtigen Technologien sind, damit wir unseren Wohlstand erhalten und damit wir das Klima angemessen schützen."

Nach der Logik dürften Politiker:innen (und Manager:innen) nur noch einen Bruchteil der Entscheidungen treffen, die sie aktuell tun. Und es führt das ganze Konzept einer repräsentativen Demokratie ein Stück weit ad absurdum.

Ach, Schamanen waren wahrscheinlich auch nur Hippies, die den Rest des Stammes davon überzeugt haben sie hätten irgendwelches Geheimwissen ;)

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. And a least as far as I remember, it does. It's not obvious and not addressed at all, but instantaneous travel between two points in space (if you don't take a shorcut through an addtional dimension, e.g. something we could call w if the three space dimension we're familiar with are x,y,z) is equivalent to time travel. The same is true for FTL travel, which Star Trek solves by warping space time, which also works.

Perhaps the mycelial network is basically an extra space-time dimension, but at least the way I remember it being explained that wasn't really the case.

But that's anyway a relatively technical points and Star Trek, as much as I love it, was never really about the technical things.

Since they don't break causality, they actually are.

Interesting, I'll have to look into that. So far, I have rather identified Bajorans as the "space jews" and Cardassians as the "space nazis".

I see. I agree that the middle east would very very likely be far better off without Netanyahu. It's just that so many people seem to oversimplify the situation -for one side or the other- and I'm somewhat wary of that.

Ich habe gerade nachgeschaut und die haben das tatsächlich unironisch so gemeint. Wir leben wirklich im postsatirischen Zeitalter.

Das liegt aber in erster Linie daran, dass wir hier unsere eigene FDP haben.

Yes that's it. Fun fact: The entropy is basically the most fundamental thermodynamical quantity, but was discoverd long after temperature and energy. If that would not be the case, we might measure temperature in eV / kByte, since the unit of temperature is energy / entropy and the unit of entropy is information.

In a sense, the existence of the Boltzmann constant is a historical accident, because temperature and energy have been discovered after entropy.
