@wpschill “zoombar” ich dachte, das sollte auf Deutsch sein? 😜

Finally, I just deleted my account after around six years of activity. But enough is enough: I prefer to be “enlightened” to just being “ignited”.
Cheers.

@Paulos_the_fog That is nice to see, but the web tells a loud and different story, doesn’t it?

@Shirl … actually the chauvinist answer to that statement is to consider “alpha male” a pleonasm. 🫣

@Shirl I think it is a rather stupid statement, to be honest. What would zoologists think about bugs? 🤔

@Paulos_the_fog That’s about as bad as the anglo-centric view that the first computer was the ENIAC—completely neglecting Konrad Zuse and his work, isn’t it? ;-)

Wat ik heb gelezen is: 'Tradition is peer pressure from the dead.'

Vond ik wel treffend. ;)

Another good video on comes from David van Reybrouk, who reminds us that “polling” is not the same as “deliberation”.

Looking at the amount of money spent to win elections and at the result of polling the public (“reinstate Trump anyone?”) “on the spur of the moment” (vox populi, vox dei?) I would like to remind us all that there still is a forgotten, but classic alternative out there, which according to Aristotle is the only, truly democratic one:

@enno „Wir uns“ unterstellt ja Gegenseitigkeit? Bislang von Twitter und einseitig. ;-)

Why I believe business #sociopath manipulator #Elon #Musk is a very dangerous man.
Think with me, on the Trump ban.
Now #liar Elon can blame the people for the return of the #liar #racist #fascist #KKK man Donald Trump.

#Hypocrite Musk calls it "free" speech, but fires anyone who criticises him.

Elon skips his responsibility,
by leaving the return of Donald #Trump on the platform to the users through a poll.
#twitter #TwitterMigration
As if that justifies te choice. Elon said, "Vox populi vox Dei", the voice of the people.
Again we are back in the Roman era with emperor Nero, who organised bread and circuses with gladiators for the people.
And again introducing more #hate and #lies to the platform, this only leads to more polarisation of our society.

Da heute wieder viel über die #Strompreisbremse gesprochen wurde, hier einfach noch mal unser #DIW Berlin Explainer "#Strommarkt erklärt: Preisbildung, Preiskrise und die „Strompreisbremse“: Ein Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte über Eingriffe in den #Strommarkt"

Darin erklären wir auch noch mal, warum die Merit-Order nichts schlechtes ist, und warum die "Strompreisbremse" eigentlich anders heißen sollte.

Mitverfasst von meinen tollen Kollegen @aroth und Martin Kittel
