In a democracy politicians are required to appeal to unfair epistemic social standards to get elected; and then make laws that embed those unfair epis...
I don't know about the beloved bit, but counterpunch was spot on about Magma Energy. This is from NASA - published in 1982, a proven source of limitle...
I don't care that you don't care about this; precisely because you fail to appreciate the philosophical significance, I've taken great pains to explai...
Is that a typo? Originally, you said 'men' - now it's 'me' - but maybe that 'me' is a typo. — karl stone I see! Well, there are a lot of you 'angry me...
Is that a typo? Originally, you said 'men' - now it's 'me' - but maybe that 'me' is a typo. Again, I'm kind of suspicious there's a long line of women...
But you did say: Double standard, don't you think? Reflective of the double standard inherent to politically correct identity politics, that paints so...
'The personal is political', also termed 'The private is political' is a political argument used as a rallying slogan of student movement and second-w...
Okay, but the trial isn't taking place here - it's taking place in the real world, with millions of people, the press and everyone watching. There's g...
Justice; in relation to the politically correct notion that "victims" should be believed; and if you don't accept the victim narrative you're a bigot....
Yeah, sure. I'm chill, but I can't pretend not to take philsophy seriously, and I'm saying there are important philosophical issues here, that's all. ...
To me; the celebs personal lives are almost irrelevent to the political issues at stake. If you're saying you don't percieve any such implications, I'...
You demonstrate my point. I'm watching the trial; and I'm no-one's fool. If I thought Depp was beating up Heard I'd condemn him, but I don't. Holding ...
I think it's an important case; not because of the specifics of their relationship, but for the implications vis politically correct use of stigma, th...
Panspermia doesn't answer the question; rather it punts the question into the cosmos, saying life evolved elsewhere and somehow got here. That doesn't...
The term "theory" in science is different from everday use. The title of this thread uses the everyday meaning of the word theory; as in "it's just a ...
A woman's right to choose is not related - in my mind, to political correctness. It's more fundamental than that. It's about freeing women from the im...
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much ca...
Your desperate need to be validated stands in the way of learning something - or failing that, at least providing a service by being there for me to b...
There wasn't an explicit racist motive in Communist genocides, however in the 1920s the policy of korenization (nativization) promoted national minori...
Said Pussy to Owl, "You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?" ...
Sadly, it's not. In Russia, Communists killed somewhere between 20 and 60 million people, and in China, around 50 million people. My worry is that cen...
No. I don't think so. I think she's wrong - but so what? Asking her to explain her opinion, and debating the question is potentially a learning experi...
Is this a roundabout way of saying "climate is always changing"? While nominally true, it's a climate denialist meme, that given any amount of thought...
I give respect where it's due. If 'green commie' seems disrespectful, that's because it is. Since the 1960's the left have campaigned on environmental...
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean, but I suggested - to various politicians and media outlets at COP26, developing magma energy as a gl...
How did you notice when you've not engaged with anything I've written? ...but keep insisting on de-population - while still pumping oil. If you do not...
Most magma is beyond reach, but there are what NASA calls 'crustal magma bodies' - and I call magma chambers, within 1-2km of the surface. The deepest...
Most geothermal energy today is hydrothermal - tapping into underground bodies of hot water. It is not the same as magma energy. The significant passa...
Astonishingly, you managed to reply without mentioning me, or anything I'd said. Without this... I would not have known this was a response to my post...

If I do not use the term 'green commie' to describe the environmental movement since the 1960's - I'm unfortunately left with stupidity as an explanat...
I'm inclined to think life exists everywhere it can exist - but intelligent life? Maybe that's relatively rare; but even then, I don't believe we are ...
I somehow missed your post. Sorry about that; and about name calling. It was merely shorthand; I was not intending to insult anyone. I would agree tha...
I'm not sure actual infinity is necessary to the same physics acting upon the same chemistry, to produce similar biology. Only similar conditions that...
To be fair, that should be your every reply! I don't know if the universe is actually infinite - but it might be, and so everything that can occur, do...
The physics and chemistry of the universe gave rise to biology, and eventually intelligent life. It's inevitable, therefore - there are other intellig...
That's a false value. The aim is 'sustainable in the foreseeable future' - not unlimited. That said, with the possible exception of helium, I don't se...
Please do: here's a link: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1987STIN...8820719D/abstract Perhaps you'll have better luck advertising it than I - I'm n...
First, we need to make a distinction between the geothermal energy Iceland have developed, and magma energy. They are not the same. Iceland's deepest ...
Fair point given the history of coal, oil and gas production, but NASA researched magma energy from the mid 1970's to late 1980's - and concluded it w...
