  • 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.

    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.













  • 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.
