Should We Relax Our Server Contempt If Used to Understand Batteries and Solar Cells?

[NNadir]

2. I would caution anyone from opposing a technology based on a lack of understanding it.

Common sense is, in my view, vastly overrated. The word "common" means ordinary. To evaluate extraordinary technology requires extraordinary insight, work, and education, whether formal or autodidactically obtained.

RFK is a commoner. Nobel Laureate Katalin Kariko, whose work ultimately made RNA vaccines available is uncommon.

I oppose wind and solar energy because I do understand them, not because I don't understand them.

That is the difference between me and the orange pedophile in the White House. His position comes out of ignorance; mine out of detailed investigation.

He, similarly, supports fossil fuels out of ignorance; I oppose them because I have deep understanding of the consequences of their use.

Similarly, as a onetime antinuke I support nuclear energy because I looked into the details on a very deep level that ultimately bordered on, I confess, obsessive.

I have yet to meet an antinuke here or nearly anywhere who knows anything at all about nuclear energy other than they hate it.

DFT described in the OP is a very powerful tool. It can be used either in a positive or negative way, for good or for bad. How it is used is an ethical question, not a technical question. It represents a subset of the use of computational power, the use of which also is defined of ethics.

That is what is missing in our times, senses of ethics.
