Thank you for characterizing my remarks. Now, if you don't mind, could you please address the issue of scale. As example, is there not a profound diff...
That's not the case at all. There's nothing stopping us from updating our relationship with knowledge to adapt to the new environment that's been crea...
Indeed. Some people are good at that, and others not so much, like everything else. Huge brained profound philosopher grand thinker peeps like us ofte...
Thank you. I want that too. And so the next question becomes, are we willing to pay the price tag for what we both want? If your neighbor can do somet...
No offense, and this may not apply to you, but the vast majority of Schopenhauer flavored posts on philosophy forums appear to be written by college s...
How are you going to fund what you've actually proposed? You give sound bite answers to this, while investing post after post after post in expressing...
Ok, yes, as I suspected. You're not actually interested in the topic, you're interested in debating. You don't want to answer a simple yes or no quest...
Well, they are interesting to the degree they illustrate a social phenomena. People like Hawkings are obviously very good at science. Some scientists,...
Yes, that's it. I understand what you're saying better than you do. I get that having this revealed to the world in print is annoying to you, and I do...
And that particular approach is a technical approach. And you chose a technical approach because you see climate change as a technical problem requiri...
Whenever I attempt to inspect those specific ideas with specific questions, you find the inspection inconvenient and either ignore the questions compl...
The premise of this thread which does not belong to you is that this is a technical problem requiring a technical solution. You appear to accept this ...
How do we mortgage an asset which can never be used, and thus has no value? How do we protect large scale solar array installations on the surface of ...
Here's an analogy which may help explain my focus in this thread. Let's say a religious person starts a thread where they want to debate Bible verse i...
It sounds absurd, until we understand what the alternative is. Do you want your next door neighbor to be able to buy a kit on Amazon which allows him ...
Here's photographic proof that the SS storm trooper mods are massing for another assault on incoherent lazy posts! Run everyone, run!! https://incoher...
How do we mortgage an asset which can never be used, and thus has no value? Have you considered that maybe we're not discussing the ideas in your open...
SIMPLISTIC PARADIGM: Our children should have as much knowledge and power as possible, as soon as possible! More and more and more power, faster, fast...
Ha, ha! Comedians, that's how we save the world, more comedians. I was once having this conversation on a forum of working scientists and one of the "...
Yes, exactly right. But philosophically speaking, standing still is what doing. You keep defending a "more is better" relationship with knowledge whic...
1) I've discussed the philosophy behind your ideas because, um, this is a philosophy forum. And not an energy forum. 2) This thread doesn't belong to ...
Maybe what should be missing from political discourse is you and me? I've been a news junkie for 50 years. Not sure what this hobby has accomplished r...
Check out BBC radio. In my area they're on the PBS channel during the very early morning hours (prior to 6am). I've listened to NPR for years, but mus...
Speaking of renewables, check out this very informative documentary on Netflix which focuses on an all important element of renewables, batteries. NOV...
Again, which scientists or other cultural leaders are arguing that we should do less science? If you can not name anyone, or only a few, then doesn't ...
Thus proving that humans are of limited ability, limited rationality, limited sanity. It's upon that real world evidence that I'm arguing that the pow...
Please list for us the scientists and other cultural elites who argue we should be doing less science. The cultural consensus is that we should learn ...
Is capitalism dependent upon stupidity? In America today very few people hold the majority of wealth. And the rest of us just go along with that, dist...
Perhaps this is another thread, but I've been impressed by these stats from a Washington Post article. Point being, you, me and 80% of Americans are s...
First, there is some prospect of managing science and technology, we're already doing that. The question I'm raising is, can we successfully manage un...
Yes, that's the equation I'm urging readers to consider. The reality is that human beings are limited, just like everything else in nature. Theories t...
Had that happened, that process would have given us more power sooner. How does this solve the problem that adult human beings, like their children, a...
Ok, I get that this is your position. I'm just suggesting that this assertion may need some further clarification. So far, it's just an assertion. As ...
Pain. We'll just keep on being reckless until we finally hit a wall and enter a period of great crisis. After enormous suffering common sense will onc...
1) What is your paradigm exactly? It sounds like a science worshiping religion to me, something about how everyone will somehow magically become ratio...
I've been attempting to say much more on this topic in the other thread, or we could do it here, either is fine. Ok, how does that work exactly? Can y...
The nature of science is to develop knowledge, which typically is then converted in to some form of power, ie. an ability to manipulate the environmen...
Nothing much happened here, the storm went around us. A slight change in path would have changed that. We're in the middle of the penisula, so no stor...
Not quite it, but thank you for reading enough to get that far. To quickly summarize my thesis is that scientific progress if pursued without limits w...
