That is indeed a serious question. Because if you argue that we have to influence climate change through geoengineering, then there are obviously limits that humans put on the climate, within which limits it is allowed to change. Who define

Ok, so you say the climate is not allowed to change anymore?

"But when you add them all together, you end up with a terribly laggy affair" I think this is the key. People fall in love with simple systems which solves a problem. Being totally in honey moon they want to use those systems for

I don't know - monitors are physical objects in space that you are aware of. I would classify Vision Pro more as glasses. I wear glasses myself. And sometimes I forget to take them off because they become part of my perception. That do

Is anything known about health risks? I could imagine that if the eye no longer has to focus on distance, that this could lead to refractive errors more quickly with excessive use. Or did I miss here something?

It seems to me that you are not at all interested in a real solution to the problem. For you, the solution is already clear: everyone has to make their contribution, no matter how big or small. The interesting thing is that your solution is

You cannot solve a puzzle by picking out one piece. You solve a puzzle by looking at all the pieces and not stylising yourself as the moral hero and assuming that everyone else will follow. That is short-sighted thinking. A per capita figur

China, USA, India, Russia - those are countries producing most of the CO2. Take those four countries and you have roughly half of the emissions. Do you really think China will change anything economical at all when Germany or Great Britian

For me, we live in pathological societies that prefer to fight symptoms rather than deal with the underlying issue. Yes, a popular strategy of people is to hurt other people with thoughts. The weapon for this is the word. The question is mu

They say children are the impatient version of a self. I think there's a lot to that. There is nothing like the intensity of a relationship between a child and his or her parents. And there is no blueprint. Since every relationship is

Things we are currently seeing going on is social debt, not technical debt. Therefore another technical solution won't fix the issue. It will just relay the social issues to a new platform which will start over again very soon. You can

Absolutely agree. In fact, I think it is deeply ingrained colonialist thinking that nature would need guidance from humans. Rather, it's the other way around: as long as we don't see ourselves as part of the ecosystem and take our

Thanks for all the downvotes. The point is - how can such a neuralgic facility not be secured? Deutsche Bahn is part of the critical infrastructure - and no one has carried out a vulnerability analysis? No one has thought about how this cri

The only constant in nature is change. The climate has always changed. And that humans have an influence on it should not really surprise anyone - after all, humans are an integral part of the ecosystem and the dominant form of life. I do n

Before Corona, I would have really welcomed this announcement. But to be honest, when someone says that the project will be "based on European values," I think it's stillborn. Who is defining those "European values"
