I mean you could let some homeless people live in your house if you care about them so much.

A "livable" wage is arbitrary and subjective. Someone's income is not based according to their needs and wants. It's based on their ability to produce...

From my personal moral perspective, I don't see the problem in recreational fish killing or childish bug smashing. If it makes you happy to do these t...

Should I stick up Atlas Shrugged or the Fountainhead? I guess Atlas because it's bigger. Ahhh yeah let's go. That's super nice. Uggghhhhhh!!!

Republicans, and democrats, are the political equivalent of sports teams. Both sides hate each other simply because they're on a different team. They ...

Homeless people live and they don't even have a wage.

I think your problem is that you don't have anything to look forward to in life. There's no passions, no goals, no values. Instead of pursuing pleasur...

Yeah this isn't fear mongering being used to grab political power.

Ayn Rand makes me happy; I think she's a beautiful thinker. So I'll stick to it.

This new energy is expensive and difficult to come by. It's absolutely 100% not true that fossil fuels make things worse. The more we use fossil fuels...

Yeah, the real world sucks because people don't know what real freedom is. I've lost my faith in government, especially after COVID. The government pa...

Why would I bother to correct a straw man of my argument? I'm not surprised that you find one-word answers suitable. i was talking about economic free...

A really great point that Alex Epstein makes is that as CO2 emissions have gone up, climate related deaths have plummeted. https://youtu.be/0_a9RP0J7P...

Hmm.. aren't greenhouses good for the environment? It is a "green" gas. That's good for nature. Having a hot climate like a the dinosaurs did sounds g...

I mean I grew up the American education system. I was fed your perspective my entire life and I believed it for most of my life. I just wonder what yo...

Wow, you're a really closed-minded person. I'm not expecting you to agree, but it would be nice if you could understand some of the points that Alex E...

One thing I hear frequently in the self-help community is that the greatest artists are often the ones with the largest bodies of work. The larger the...

Have you read the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6b7K1hjZk4

That is a country. I'm all for clean, green, and hip energy if it can be sustained under capitalism and not through government intervention.

Well this is why I asked if all climate change is all bad. I imagine that colder climates that didn't allow crops, would allow crops. When some opport...

We have centuries before fossil fuels run out. I'm sure we'll come up with reliable green energy by then. I mean how fast is too fast? Why not just bu...

That long-winded rant was really good. 10/10 You can't have economics if you take away people's freedom.

When you get hot, what do you do? Turn up the air conditioning or try to stop summer from happening?

Change is neither good nor bad.

It's climate CHANGE not climate destruction.

What about the possibilities of the climate changing for the better? Does the science really say that all climate change is bad? Climate change can be...

Climate change is happening. So what? I'm not denying that. I'm saying we should burn more fossil fuels anyway. We should not enforce government polic...

I'm more fearful of people who will use climate change as an excuse to seize political power and eliminate our freedoms. Freedom and free-minds are ou...

Yes, I'm new. I'm not familiar with quoting on here yet. I'll add that I'm all for tradition and progress. We should maintain traditions that serve us...

Small, incremental changes are good. But If you change too many things at once, then people fall apart. Humans are habitual creatures, and our entire ...

People who value animal life probably don't know that people catch fish and release them, and if they did they would be against it. I think this has t...

Also, it's fascism because people shut you down for not wanting to give up your freedom of choice due to fear mongering and "science."

I say we burn more fossil fuels, since that's the only thing that powers air conditioning, water irrigation, and generally allows us to create the pro...

Killing, raping, and stealing are all obviously, objectively bad. People who say that it's subjective are the people that want to do those things to o...

I've always seen this idea as a deliberate separation of things that are meant to exist in unison. I believe that the spiritual and material are both ...

Kind of a random guess, but I think it's because most people see him as a psychologist/neuroscientist, rather than a philosopher. On top of that, he i...

I agree that putting yourself into the shoes of other people is a powerful way to acquire new knowledge, especially about that person, their motives, ...

In my opinion, this is an irrational question that is dividing two ideas that can't stand on their own. Do we drink oxygen or hydrogen? Actually, we d...
