But I known what you mean, I think, Mr sophisticated inhabitant of a modern meta-organization. The general principle of all large organizations these days is to avoid any communication from the outside public if at all possible, unless there is some tax or legal advantage is being treated as a “person”, as corporations know. And even then, try to get through.

So yes, Otto is an idealist holdover from the past, where people actually took responsibility for their relations with the public and answered their phones, and things like the Security Council meetings actually had a separate secretary and a phone line.

Now it is probably it is probably all like CERN, no way a member of the public can a response except from their pr department. However Otto got a personal visit. Maybe he can get the UN to respond too.

You raise an important question. Should we allow large bodies like CERN to go ahead and do what they like without some way of holding them accountable?

OMG!!

Hey PassingBy, why don’t you order Chinese food to Rossler’s door? That the favorite tactic of superannuated schoolboy trolls who take petty revenge on idealists who disturb them with a superior theoretical imagination and a more adult morality that we should worry about the future of humanity and the world.
