Language matter, especially in media headlines for the part of the masses who are stupid enough to only read the headlines; but who carry enough democ...
Yes, that's my point, the threat is real, the science is real, but the language used in media play into an ideal of everything being too late, when it...
I think one error that media and climate scientists make when trying to communicate the problems is to use terms like "point of no return". I think th...
I don't think any independent candidate would win, but they would split the votes so much if there were three options available that the democrats wou...
I'm not entirely sure how the details of these things go, but wouldn't she align with the Lincon Project and draw together the Republicans who don't w...
Yes, that's a good video on what's going on right now. Maybe if the people who can still use their brains could stop focusing on spending their time o...
I think the major part has to do with disconnection to others. With technology and internet we've increased our ability to communicate, but we are dis...
And of course... republicans. Can we actually just conclude them to be collectively stupid? Like, what more evidence do we need? https://www.youtube.c...
It's primarily industries that needs to be changed by force. Regular people will surely hate the consequences of the industry changes, but new industr...
Yes, the system itself is the problem and people rely on the system too much. For this to be fixed, we need to break the system, even if that has to b...
Oh, thank the gluons. I also think that a "general thread" for anything has problems incorporating a proper philosophical discussion as it just pit co...
A handfull enough to sway politics in favor of populist leaders who keep the necessary mitigation from happening in time. Yes, as I said, that is the ...
You only know the things I write here, you know nothing else. But you act upon such lack of knowledge and perform judgement. This is just a dishonest ...
Since there's no debate about the science as the science is clear, why would it therefor be about economic policy as a form of a capitalist/anti-capit...
Through politicians actually doing what it takes instead of acting like demagogues only worried about losing votes in the next election. How do you kn...
Yes, how people handle knowledge is a trait transcending specific subjects. I tend to see even within science that people who have biased ideas about ...
We who actually understand the science, we who understand the problems, we who don't attach identity to this entire subject and use it as punchlines f...
How is that inconsistent? I mentioned what is needed to be done to change course and if people don't make that choice then the only outcome is for eve...
I agree that democracy has problems, but the solution isn't autocracy. It's to evolve democracy into a better system. The problem, however, is that pe...
Sabine does a good job of calmly saying "get your fucking shit together". But unfortunately nothing will happen until the people in power and industri...
That they take concepts, words and language and twist them does not mean the core of their sentences mean the same. That they manipulate people throug...
Yes, I've talked to a lot of young people about all of this and they say that "there's no point". An utter surrender to whatever downfall of society o...
Go read some publications. Listen to the actual experts. There is no debate other than by those believing themselves to know more than the actual scie...
It's not scientifically inaccurate, it is scientifically accurate in that the world is globally warming up and the climate is changing in different wa...
The breakdown and polarization of society is something seen mostly online. It's part of the extreme ends and not statistically representative of the m...
I guess we're gonna look back on these times 40-50 years from now in the same way we look back at doctors advertising cigarettes. And future generatio...
I think political threads need some extra eyes up until at least after the US election. You mods are pretty good at keeping this forum clean from the ...
Begin to at least cast a wider net and be aware of biases and political leanings. This OP borders on, or is downright propaganda in its low quality. h...
In what way? You either have the broad definition of bias as something that gravitate towards something or how bias is described in thinking and reaso...
Since I'm describing a gradual journey from free thought to unbiased conclusions I don't think it is generalizing at all. Between the two points are n...
Yes, but the difference within this topic has to do with the kind of bias that is bound to a belief without grounding in reality. We are biased in cer...
Why can't a factual thing be a seed for a solution? What are actually you implying here? A factual property of our existence is a hint at our function...

Your argument's conclusion is that there has to be a first cause, which is only one interpretation in physics. And through the explanations given, you...
It's a lot of effort for trying to explain how I actually argued against you since you ignore engaging with the actual counter arguments and keep reje...
Maybe understand in what context I wrote that in before calling it a straw man. No, I argue against the conclusion you make as we already have physics...
