The democrats aren’t deniers, because their main financiers are not big oil, but Wall Street. But they don’t care about the environment; sometimes the...
So getting back on topic: Pelosi is pushing for a vote on the “bipartisan” bill tonight. Both bills were supposed to be voted on together, with the BB...
They’re not doing nearly enough, and for obvious and predictable reasons. The alternative is the Trump administration and Republicans— which is an abs...
In fairness, I don't think he's a shill for the Republicans. He'll claim I'm a shill for the Democrats. What doesn't seem to be understood is that one...
Unfortunately I'm as bad a role model and as immature as he is in terms of communication, so I don't claim any wisdom in that respect. The points are ...
Colors, for example. Well in the sense of perception, yes it's an interpretation. And it is trivial, yes. When it comes to an understanding of being (...
The two parties are not indistinguishable. They're bought off and pressured by different interests and constituents. It's true almost all are corporat...
On climate change, Republicans say it's a hoax, Democrats say it's a problem. The Biden administration has appointed a Native American as secretary of...
Then there's nothing we can do but hope. But that's not the case. Plenty is being done and has been done. We can use any word we like, it makes no dif...
I have a time horizon of 10-20 years, in which we need to transform both the energy sector and agriculture if we want to survive. We don’t have 100 ye...
Not necessarily. Apes have the same characteristics you mentioned. In fact some explorers were often unsure about the humanity of the tribes they enco...
Communist! Don’t you understand there IS no community, only individuals pursuing their own interests. So sayeth Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman. Markets ...
Become an activist. Educate yourself and others, organize with others. Identify programs you want and push for them. This is done all the time, if you...
I think yours is actually a very common one, from what you describe. The fact that we're leaving the next generation with such massive problems is sca...
Yes, but that's not saying much. The Christian doesn't have much issue with that either. Nor did the Greek. Nor did the Hindus. We don't have much pro...
Thanks. Not from a book, but might as well be. Like anything it's a combination of books I've read about history and philosophy filtered through the s...
The only thing that exists is the individual. Anything else is communism. The individual seeking their interests— that’s it. No such thing as society....
Yes, I know. And my contention is that this is completely misguided. We don't "know what we are" and simply like to think otherwise; rather, we interp...
I don’t see the relevance of this comment. I didn’t say anything about the concept of “self” nor that it was a religious idea. Of course “primitive” h...
When human beings weren't even a dream. Yes, and the earth was practically a fireball if you go back far enough. Like I said, look into it a little mo...
:lol: Interesting to see the variants of climate denial crop up. You don't know what you're talking about. Which is not so astonishing. The "worst par...
Partly, yes. Many aren't bought by fossil fuel interests, but by other corporate interests -- so they don't care about changing the energy sector. But...
Picky isn't the right word. Idiotic. Stupid. Ignorant. Moronic. Imbecilic. Buffoonish. Doltish. Shallow. All these suffice. I'll spell it out for thos...
Never. Because he never lost, and will soon be reinstated. Yes! Anyone who listens to 99% of experts in any field, rather than using his own brain to ...
Donald Trump will save us. The government isn't the solution, it's the problem. We need smaller government. The solution to our problem is a free mark...
:up: Yeah, it really comes down to how we want to interpret or talk about human activity. It's perfectly fine to put on our biological/evolutionary gl...
Doesn’t matter because it’s probably not permanent. All we have to do is wait it out for ten thousand years of so. Yes, we’ll suffer in the meantime, ...
Neither do I, thanks in part to efforts from geniuses like you. Can’t wait for things to calm down again in ten thousand years though. Look forward to...
Not doomed— provided we act now. But hopefully we can convince enough people not to, since a book says things will maybe get back to normal in ten tho...
