    The German economics minister Robert Habeck has a degree in Philosophy. No wonder he doesn’t understand the complex world of energy and natural resources.

      People also tend to underestimate complexity in domains they have no experience in. You often see this in tech sector where techbros try to reinvent things without realizing why existing processes are in place. Crypto is a perfect example of this. They threw out everything that’s been learned about regulation and fraud prevention creating a wild west market.

      It’s pretty clear that Habeck took a similarly cavalier approach to ensuring energy security in Germany.
