It's not a simple issue. From a purely legal and sovereign perspective: Yes, appropriate and reasonable in itself. A sovereign nation has laws governi...

I try to make it a rule not to engage with you because you're one of the worst persons I know, morally and intellectually. Considering the level regul...

@Author, I really like this if not only for the reason that I barely get in touch with this sort of subject. I think it's ambitious and maybe that is ...

@"Tobias" This subject is right up your ally. Be sure to read it!

I'm not sure why flag waving or burning flags is the decisive factor. For "normal people" once a government stops representing basic values and the ru...

The idea speech does not affect the world and that all these sovereign individuals can just ignore it, is devoid of fact. Speech can be abusive and ca...

There are people who post on an internet forum with the understanding it is "private"? :lol:

Free speech absolutism clings to a libertarian ahistorical fantasy: that speech is just noise until someone acts on it. That words, unlike swords, don...

Remember this post? You started talking to me remember? I replied and asked why you're focusing on the least likely candidate to be widely available a...

I believe geothermal is promising, I believe EGS is much more promising that SCGT. I've laid out why. You've given me nothing in return other than rep...

I'm not negative. I simply don't have time for someone's myopic bullshit when I even spoonfeed him information to get a grip on reality.

So you haven't done the calculations and have no clue what you're talking about. Excellent. Nice wasting time on you. Bye.

Great.Show me the calculations.

Despite the criticisms you can level at the content of the essay, I like the fundamental approach free of any other works and reminds me of attempts I...

The fact you haven't conceded it just shows how little you've actually looked into it. Not something to be proud of. And no, I don't need to make a lo...

Nah. You were late so obviously don't have enough time. Philosophy is too hard for me so I didn't join this time.

It's June 1st. Where are the submissions of posters with too much time on their hands?

EGS. EGS. This is just handwaving. You remind me of counterpunch. Words devoid if basic facts. If you think this is the way forward, calculate it. I s...

Having very large power plants introduces requirements on the grid that don't currently exist and require a disproportionate investment, where the pow...

You're focusing on the most expensive and least likely to be scalable in all areas. Why? The science had only significantly changed with respect to ES...

It was. But the science has changed since then. Particularly in the area of ESG. Enhanced Gheothermal Energy stimulates geothermal permeability, usual...

I don't need to defend shit because there's no genocide. You'd rather follow the interpretation of a murderous idiot than sensible South Africans just...

All irrelevant drivel when there's no genocide going on and the chant has been adjudicated by local judges with much better understanding of local cul...

There's ample evidence of it. What's inappropriate is leaving it uncontested and unnamed.

It's racism when blacks benefit and therefore we should ignore colour and it's racism when whites are victims because they're white and colour is ther...

No, everybody needs to learn to stand up to racist bullshit by calling it out for what it is and calling those people who lap it up as gospel for the ...

Fixed that too.

I fixed it for you.

Indeed it isn't. What's your excuse for peddling lies then if not ignorance of almost everything that matters? Calling out white nationalists and raci...

instead of being so dumb as extrapolating from anecdotal evidence maybe study the subject first. Excellent. Only 1% of total murder victims in South A...

The majority of murdered farmers are actually black. Never mind the facts! Whatever happened to the "I don't see colour!" bullshit you were peddling? ...

Amen

When even Piers Morgan changes his tune... :chin: @"ssu" told you so but since you're the only one capable of changing his mind I won't bother tagging...

No. Every wasted word, wastes computing power which wastes energy.

Why is it an idiotic decision? On the face of it, it seems favourable to the US. In fact, there's now (unfortunately) a framework under which Ukraine ...

A bit of schadenfreude right here: Tesla's core automotive revenue dropped by 20% year-over-year to $14 billion, the weakest since Q3 2021. The compan...

it shouldn't make a difference because it should be about responsibility and not incompetence.

It's not relevant for the critique itself, is it? But Marxism, Communitarianism, Arendt's action theory. Possibly others. You pick at what you think y...

Oh oh, can I play? Of course, there's are alternatives to liberalism. Marxism is one such alternative! Come on man. Did I say anything about predictio...

Also, I'm sorry but I think you're missing my point. You're right that liberal legal frameworks have mechanisms for redressing individual rights viola...

For the Liberal Champions in this thread; I think you're wrong. :wink: Liberalism is poorly equipped to deal with structural and systemic problems tha...

No, I haven't seen any suggestions beyond the "pivot to China" which in and of itself means nothing. I've asked you for policies; I got nothing. If pe...

I've not seen a working hypothesis from you and how what is happening now supports getting to your theorised end goals. As I said, I expect policy ide...

The plan is at most grift and at least anchoring in negotiations. Other than that, there's nothing sensible to find there.

Sorry! I was mixing two answers, ignore that. It was meant as a reaction to Tzeentsch.

I agree with that, yes. Stability and developing from there is preferable but we need to be prepared it will just become more unstable. For me it feel...

Your go-to reaction seems to be "wait and see" and geopolitics is about "potential" instead of well, grounded in fact. If it's not true in 3 years, we...

Comments like these give me the heeby-jeebies with the implied assumptions underlying it. We do not need pragmatism, we need a revolution away from th...
