sic ait: 'o positi sub terra numina mundi,
in quem reccidimus, quicquid mortale creamur,
si licet et falsi positis ambagibus oris
vera loqui sinitis, non huc, ut opaca viderem
Tartara, descendi, nec uti villosa colubris
terna Medusaei vincirem guttura monstri:
causa viae est coniunx, in quam calcata venenum
vipera diffudit crescentesque abstulit annos. ...'

Ex P. Ovidi Nasonis Metamorphoseon libro decimo.

@DedanusRotWeiss @MartinSellner_ Der Arzt verschreibt ja das Medikament. Bei nicht verschreibungspflichtigen reicht eine Google- oder LLM-Suche.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

LLMs sind ein extrem mächtiger Hebel. Noch nie war es einfacher, seinen Willen in Handlung umzusetzen. Die Opportunitätskosten gehen gegen null. Dass Akademiker dem gegenüber größtenteils negativ eingestellt sind, zeigt nur, dass es in der Akademie mehr um Prestige als um echten Nutzen geht. Alles, was berechenbar ist, kann nun in kürzester Zeit berechnet werden.

@Glycine_enjoyer Wie heißt das Gemälde oder der Künstler?

@depain2 I think France is doing very well with their current push for nuclear power.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

Germany and France should take an example of Iceland and Norway. Energy abundance is one of the most important prerequisites for technological progress and wealth.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

Mich stört ja sehr, dass Akademikertum keinen Wert mehr hat. Selbst Fachhochschulen vergeben akademische Titel, welche den universitären gleichgestellt sind. Die klassische Akademie wurde zur Berufsschule umfunktioniert und nur noch die wenigsten studieren aus Leidenschaft.

In Germany, as in so many other countries, we sadly suffer from degree inflation. This is what happens when the metric becomes the goal. Time to rethink academia.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

One reason for this is that nearly everything has been turned into a 'degree'. You don't even need to study at a university anymore, simpler vocational schools or universities of 'applied sciences' will do the trick.

@Eric_Douheret @GreenRForest No, I didn't. I will soon post data on France's electricity mix compared to other European countries.

It probably depends on how you change or replace neurons. The structures they form need to be equivalent so they also have an equivalent firing behavior. You might still be you, but you might have a different personality or behavior.

But in general, such things are hard to discuss because it's hard to say what it means to be conscious and what it means to be oneself.

@mopenshaw You mean heating? It is definitely a part of it. But hotter countries would also use a fair share of energy for air conditioning. Also, don't forget that industry uses significantly more energy than households. So, heating alone can't explain it.

Epikur, Brief an Menoikeus:

„Für all dies ist die Einsicht Ursprung und höchstes Gut. Daher ist die Einsicht sogar wertvoller als die Philosophie: ihr entstammen alle übrigen Tugenden, weil sie lehrt, dass es nicht möglich ist, lustvoll zu leben, ohne einsichtsvoll, vollkommen und gerecht zu leben, [ebensowenig, einsichtsvoll, vollkommen und gerecht zu leben,] ohne lustvoll zu leben. Denn die Tugenden sind ursprünglich verwachsen mit dem lustvollen Leben, und das lustvolle Leben ist von ihnen untrennbar.“

Germany has a multipolar startup and business foundation landscape. Many districts, even some in the east, are quite prolific compared to their neighbors. But as so often, Munich outperforms them all.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

My point was to show how much available energy there would be per person. Spending energy on productive things is very good. Iceland and Norway have a lot of automation. They can just spend extra energy on useful things and don't have to count each unit of it. If people had a higher 'energy budget', they could build more awesome things!

@hippyygoat Deceitful and manipulative as always.

@MarcusPretzell Schülerfreie Privatschulen sind derzeit die beste Option.

@MagellanQuest The Greeks already began cultivating chestnut trees. Via the Romans, they spread northward. This trend continued during the Middle Ages. Chestnut wood was easier to produce in greater quantities than other types of wood. This is why it became so popular.

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

@GreenRForest Thanks for the background information. Besides that, renewables are also a good way to strengthen a country's energy independence!

[Hortulānus @hortulanustros]

@MartinSellner_ Only because the Third World has access to the internet and enjoys mocking Europe. They don't understand the sarcasm of the post.
