Ik kijk er niet zo zwart wit naar. Al snel is iets uit context.
Er zijn veel bewegende onderdelen, geopolitieke machtsverhoudingen, zoals ze werkelijk zijn versus hoe ze in onze hoofden spelen en uiteraard de wisselwerking daartussen. Mijn ervaring is dat Joris dingen zegt die (mij) inzicht geven.
"By the time anyone noticed that single, tantalizing signal in Kepler’s vast dataset, the telescope had been mothballed, decommissioned into a graveyard orbit after running out of fuel."
Whoops! 🤦
Amen, Joris!
Well put.

Love that.
Einstein may have quoted Alexandre Dumas, who wrote in an 1865 French publication: "Une chose qui m'humilie profondément est de voir que le génie humain a des limites, quand la bêtise humaine n'en a pas".
♥️ Nice noise!

Observation.
The human brain, as I understand, is running on a mere 20 watts of power. It is terrible at spotting what is and isn't real, it conserves energy using shortcuts, making us easy prey for lies, conspiracies, and tribalism.
20 watts.
No wonder we love shortcuts.
Not for sale.
Not for bribery.
Not for grabs.

We have all been desensitized by the word salads of this wanna be authoritarian orangutan.
And I'm not even American.
It all reminds me of Hannah Arendt's "banality of evil".
Empires in decline suffer from:
1. Micro-militarism abroad
2. Political extremism
History repeats itself like a spiral.
Nature is:
◇ mind bogglingly beautiful
◇ horrendously indifferent
◇ cleverer than you are (Orgel's 2nd)
◇ ...
◇ ...
What would you add to this list?

The iconic Vondelkerk went up in flames this night. This church was part of my childhood memories.
Was is worth the few minutes of fireworks?
I'm sad and upset. Now I'm not anti fireworks but please keep this sh!t central, safe and controlled.
