The tsunami in Japan two weeks ago has now claimed another victim:
Stafan Mappus, Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
The shock waves which ensued following Fukushima etc forced Angela
Merkel to do an unbelievably quick, and unbelievable U-turn in her
atomic energy policy. In the aftermath her government has lost all
credibility and Stefan Mappus his majority in the so-called Landtag,
or government. Our own variation of an earthquake is the election of
the first Green Party leader to become Minister-President of a German
state ever.
The question is this: Has anyone ever taken a catastrophe such as
happened in Japan and then mapped not just the immediate physical
effects (area of earthquakes, extent of flooding etc) but also the
political fallout or other effects not exactly directly connected?
Kit
Kit,
How can you be so sure that Angela Merkel lost all credibitilty because
of the Fukushima catastrophe?
If I remember correctly, Einstein was saying something like: "the
coincidence between 2 events is made by a human brain not by nature".
I would suggest:/Die erfundene Wirklichkeit: Wie wissen wir, was wir zu
wissen glauben? Beiträge zum Konstruktivismus, Herausgegeben und
kommentiert von Paul Watzlawick/ (also in English, French etc.)
Anyhow, I feel you query is connected with the catastrophe theory, the
domino effect and the butterfly effect.
Best regards
