Leela, Kirk, Adama, Reynolds und Co. - alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie sind erfolgreich. Nun gut, Leela vielleicht nicht immer, aber sie sind tonangebend in ihrem Raumschiff. Wie haben sie das nur geschafft? Kann man von ihnen lernen? Ja, man kann meint das I09-Blog. Natürlich sind diese Figuren reine Erfindung aber das heißt ja nicht, dass man nicht noch was lernen könnte. Zum Beispiel dieses hier. Und ich zitiere das NICHT weil Ian M. Banks drin vorkommt, neeeeiiinnnn....

There is always somebody out there who can bend spacetime better than you can. In Iain M. Banks' novel Excession, the Ship Sleeper Service (which is an AI that captains itself, thank you very much) discovers that its amazing, human-dwarfing brain is nothing compared to the "excession," a phenomenon that none of the Ships can understand. The excession exists in subspace, and looks like a giant something that could be a gateway to another dimension, perhaps, or a ship from the edges of the universe. Meeting the excession, for the Ships, is a very humbling experience. They realize that they are not as omnipotent as they realized, that that there are intelligences out there far more profound than their own. Lesson learned? No matter how in control you are, always be ready for something for which you're completely unprepared
