I think you're neglecting individual efforts and private enterprise venture capitalists. I've witnessed something amazing. About 20 some private initi...

In essence, the market has already provided the answer. The only thing lacking is implementing the solution to the problem. I hope that doesn't sound ...

As for internalizing the externalities, that's a tough question. How do you calculate (quantify) the externality of something that is prone to factors...
October 15, 2018 at 03:27
Well, yes. The whole premise of this thread is that some form of guided influence is required to instantiate a solution for the problem. It's an inter...

Can you expand on this>?

What's bothering you, as you seem sad? Is it depression?
October 15, 2018 at 01:57
As they say, 'good luck'. :blush:

Actually, if you do some research, the prevalence of cancer and other fears about radiation are unfounded by science.

This is from the Routledge paper I'm reading about the Tractatus: https://i.imgur.com/1gGCOAG.png

I have yet to read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Will_to_Believe It might remedy the anxiety. We could be wrong, but what about it?

I suppose we must now talk about the picture theory of meaning, which is indubitably true in a two-dimensional world.
October 15, 2018 at 00:07
I understand that. But, your fear is not based on rational analysis. The market is the answer.
October 14, 2018 at 23:53
Too bad @"Mr Phil O'Sophy" left the forum. I would be keenly interested in his input.
October 14, 2018 at 23:51
"Angst" is a problem that philosophy has to deal with. It can be remedied by rational analysis of some situation and working on the answers provided b...

Sounds pretty boring. Climate change by the very definition of "change" is exciting. It provides an impetus to strive for something better. Tree peopl...
October 14, 2018 at 23:36
That's fine. I have a lot of hope for fission and fusion. Some really really smart people are working on solutions to the collective problem of climat...
October 14, 2018 at 23:34
I want to distill my thoughts on this matter. Hence, what I mean to say with 'embrace' is that climate change has presented a problem to the market. T...
October 14, 2018 at 23:30
Hmm, that sounds edifying. Though, it sounds like a really bad non sequitur.
October 14, 2018 at 23:24
What do you mean by that? There has been significant progress in utilizing fusion energy, made by Canadians, Germans, and others.
October 14, 2018 at 23:21
I use the word embrace, in a stipulative manner. People will 'embrace' climate change by a cost-benefit analysis of the situation. If the market dicta...
October 14, 2018 at 23:17
It's important to note that solipsism has a significant stipulative definition when Wittgenstein uses it. I am not sure you grasp it. I can still main...
October 14, 2018 at 23:12
My only concern in all this is that nuclear, which is astronomically regulated and suffers from the social stigma of radiation and such irrationalitie...
October 14, 2018 at 23:01
It's just a matter of economics. People will switch to solar or wind or whatever that becomes sufficiently cheap enough. How else can you phrase the i...

Rule-utiliarian calculus.
October 13, 2018 at 20:28
Yes,
October 13, 2018 at 02:52
Good example. Just wondering about the time-perspective part.
October 13, 2018 at 02:47
Depends on your calculus of utility of happiness. Nothing ever gets done with happy and content and satisfied individuals.
October 12, 2018 at 21:03
Interesting book. What's it 'bout?
October 12, 2018 at 20:43
Yes, though, this leads to the crude understanding that utilitarianism is a hedonic philosophy, which isn't necessarily true.
October 12, 2018 at 20:43
I agree with most if not everything you have said about utilitarianism. But, the net-utility is still of value to analyze. As to how to define utility...
October 12, 2018 at 20:35
Well, yes. This is the heart of the issue. Where one cannot deal with the calculus time-bound. It must be a calculus that encompasses the entirety of ...
October 12, 2018 at 19:20
Just to elaborate on what I mean by "time-respective utility maximization". I mean to say that the assessment of utility is time-bound; but, we can't ...

:ok:
October 12, 2018 at 03:48
Yeah, just check: https://deneum.com/ or http://brillouinenergy.com/
October 12, 2018 at 01:08
There's also https://lppfusion.com/. They will be game changers too. It's a matter of time who makes it to the market first. I think LENR will appear ...
October 11, 2018 at 23:46
You should look into LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions). I don't say this often; but mark my words, it's going to change the world.
October 11, 2018 at 23:44
We sure can talk of our beetles. I'm doing that right now. I just can't show you it.
October 11, 2018 at 22:04
:blush:
October 11, 2018 at 21:59
Anyone else cares to join us in this discussion?
October 11, 2018 at 21:48
In case you are not aware, I'm seeking others who feel the same or are in a similar predicament. This isn't only about 'me'.
October 11, 2018 at 15:41
I'm not following you here. I can't see your beetle, only mine.
October 11, 2018 at 14:54
Oh, dear. I hope you don't start calling me a snowflake, Sir/Ma'am or whoever the person behind your alter-ego of "Hanover" is. Anyway, if you've foll...
October 11, 2018 at 13:54
That's not entirely true. The life we experience here only is fundamentally different than real life interaction. What does that say about me? A lot, ...
