I think this is hard to prove. Necessity is the mother of invention and all that.

dekken_··on Macron floats social media cuts during riots
Because they think they're the teachers/parents of the populace and they have the power to take away our "toys"?

The existence of nudge units I think also supports this, insofar as governments think they can tell people how to live, even if it's supposed to be the citizens which tell governments what to do.

dekken_··on Entropy: A little understood concept in physics [video]
You can say what you like. Science is not about certainties. You can only control experiments to a particular degree and have no control of confounding factors which might interfere with your experiments. Do you really want to compare the totality of all universal processes to such trivial examples? I find it absurd.
dekken_··on Entropy: A little understood concept in physics [video]
If you read what I said, I said nothing about predictions. Predictions are fine. Stating things as certainties, not so much.
dekken_··on Entropy: A little understood concept in physics [video]
I think of it as a death cult. Thinking we know all that there is to know about the universe to the point where we can declare with 100% certainty that any particular thing will happen is not scientific.

> how can there ever be a shortage of energy

I think it's not so much a shortage of energy, but that there thermodynamic equilibrium and thus no available energy to do anything.

I don't think this will ever happen tho, it's pretty clear to me that making energy more dense is a universal process.

If you can't control what people think, you just scare them into not speaking.

Sounds like state sponsored terrorism to me.

This says more about you than the hypothetical "people" you are talking about.

I think that's well put.

In an attempt to make "safe spaces" for all the state is becoming surrogate parents.

It's authoritarian and patronizing.
