“If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot interfere effectively … we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.“
Norbert Wiener (Mathematician, 1894-1964) in 1960
„Recent research shows that people are uncomfortable if left alone with their thoughts for as little as six minutes."

„We all understand the joys of our always-wired world - the connections, the validations, the laughs, the porn, the info. I don't want to deny any of them here. But we are only beginning to get our minds around the costs, if we are even prepared to accept that there are costs."
Dr. Andrew Sullivan, „I Used To Be a Human Being"
„In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power"

PhD Diary
The good computer science (thought experiment(s) during the doctorate)
I make no claim that my thoughts on IT ethical issues are valid in any way, because I am not a trained philosopher or cyberanthropist. This modesty is necessary in order to listen to those who are. My questions are therefore debatable and (presumably) flawed, but it is precisely these flaws that I am looking…

Human <3 Robot
"Robot love is the maximum of the narcissistic love relationship between humans and robots. A person's love for their robot is only conditioned by the expectations of the robot alone and only for the person alone. Humans cannot fulfill the robot's expectations because they have none."
Narcissism
„Narzissmus war eine Sünde."
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Haller (Psychiater, 1951-)
[..] We do not love ourselves to protect our bodies from injury, but because we're from the beginning "corrupted" by the love of the Other, who does not want us to be injured. We take care of ourselves because an "other" loves us.
European Journal of Psychoanalysis: Sigmund Freud
„Der Imperativ der Authentizität bringt einen narzisstischen Zwang hervor. Der Narzissmus ist nicht identisch mit der gesunden Eigenliebe, die nichts Pathologisches hat. Sie schließt die Liebe zum Anderen nicht aus. Der Narziss ist dagegen blind gegenüber dem Anderen. Der Andere wird so lange umgebogen, bis sich das Ego darin wiedererkennt. Das narzisstische Subjekt nimmt die Welt allein in Abschattungen seiner selbst wahr."
