I imagine it has also something to do with safety? Like, if it was instantaneous, that means you can do damage instantaneously, or a hacker might have fewer hurdles to go through.

A large part of oil can be replaced with electricity. Please point to examples where neither solar power or renewable biomass are sufficient.

Regarding the problem of running out of oil, I look at it a bit like, “we are a plant (biological plant)”.

The plant starts in a seed, which provides it with nutrients (energy) as some kind of starting bonus. It can use these nutrients to develop itself and live, but it will recognize that at some point it will run out of calories and die. So it has to do something about it. What it does, is to develop leaves. These leaves collect the sunlight and this way, the plant has a constant and continuous source of energy/calories. So it can keep on living.

Society has a very similar problem. We have oil, but it is limited. We can use it to develop, but eventually we’re gonna run out of it. So we have to do something about it. Just like a plant, we develop solar panels to collect the sunlight, so we have a continuous income of energy. This way we can live waaay beyond the time of our starting bonus.

Oh no you can’t. Building a ship that can cross the ocean (without you drowning first of course) is actually quite difficult. Not only does it have to be extremely durable, you also have to have a lot of knowledge to navigate. And then there’s the economic problems, like who pays for it, how do you get enough food, etc…

I believe they called them that because the first people to try them liked them so much, they thought they were in paradise.

It’s a Zen Koan.

Basically, the meaning of it is “live your life proudly, and don’t let other people dictate whether your rules are right or wrong, because your rule just is”.

I believe my computer needs some hecking too.

Note: I had posted this before from another account from another instance (feddit.de), but the federation seemed to be broken and the post didn’t show, I think. Sorry if it appears double in your feed.
