That's a very shallow cover for an ad hominem attack. I have read some evolutionary psychology - but not particularly with regard to gender or male fe...

Peterson came to public attention because he refused to use politically correct gender pronouns; and I think that is key to understanding who he is, a...

Ceramic probe around X20 - P91 chromium steel pipes. I'm looking at letting the entire facility into the side of the volcano - with bore holes of 18" ...

Me either. It's almost as if that's not possible at this stage. I don't know. Why, at one time - did people carve glaciers into chunks and transport t...

For an indication of what's possible, we could look at IDDP-1. "The borehole of this well was unintentionally drilled into a magma reservoir in 2009. ...

Generally, I think Peterson is viewed favourably by philosophers, and unfavourably by left wing ideologues. The left hate him because he's not down wi...

I believe it can be done. The idea would be to drill through hot volcanic rock - close to magma chambers, but not into magma chambers. As you so astut...

The new political spectrum I envisage ranges from ideological traditionalists to scientific rationalists, and on that spectrum, I'd place your argumen...

Liquified hydrogen fuel contains 2.5 times the energy of petroleum - so, given that: "Remote parts of Siberia are too costly to connect to central ele...

I'm not at all sure a second referendum was Corbyn's position on brexit. It was very unclear - I seem to recall, while his economic manifesto was deci...

East Anglia ONE - UK offshore wind array, 102 turbines, 7 MW each, producing 714 MW - enough for 600,000 homes. It took 10 years to build, and cost £2...

That's something of an understatement. It wasn't just that Labour didn't win. The party was badly damaged. Traditional Labour voting areas in the Nort...

I didn't say oppose. I said - hold the Tories to their promises. I said kick up a fuss that the Northern Powerhouse amounted to two train stations get...

Right, because prior to 2015 - everything was peachy in England's "former industrial and coastal towns" - was it? Labour wouldn't know would they? So,...

Because of the BBC news story I posted. Was that not clear? Rhetorical question. There's no need to answer. You're obviously not sincere.

Wind and solar are profitable industries, but they are not adequate to the challenge. They cannot produce enough power to meet our needs. Wind and sol...

No, I can't - but it's a stupid question, because it doesn't require the opposition to endorse a policy for it to be enacted. They just need to abstai...

Harnessing limitless clean energy from magma is a good idea. It's an idea that needs development, but the energy is there - and the technologies exist...

No, but thanks for asking - again. I'm quite satisfied that I'm not committing the naturalistic fallacy because, my explanation of "how things are" - ...

There is a great deal of agreement among scientists on the broad brush strokes shape of a scientific understanding of reality. How otherwise could the...

Galileo's epistemology in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems is empiricism. It simply took until the 19th century for anyone to pluck up ...

Well that's not it - so maybe look at my comments and try and get your head around what I am saying about the relationship between science and ideolog...

Sustainability. I'm seeking to bring about sustainability, with the minimal possible change in any other respect. I'm not a revolutionary. I want the ...

The reality is that humankind is two generations from a catastrophe we won't survive. We can solve it by acting now - and secure a prosperous sustaina...

Are you asking me? Because as far as I'm concerned, neither of them are right. Science is right. It's true knowledge of reality - a reality that may h...

I hate to see you go without an adequate reply; those two posts together are quite the thesis - beautifully written, a joy to read, and ultimately red...

But I haven't missed you other post. I've read it. I'll think on it. I need sleep.

Scientists are never right. That's a virtue. It allows them to learn. Arguably however, "a political party that recognises science as truth" is not ne...

There's no such thing as luck, and we could all use some. So, thanks - but I haven't laid out my political platform yet. I think there is a general co...

I got your meaning. It was very aggressive. I thought it necessary to say that, while I believe science is key to a sustainable future - I've no desir...

I would have welcomed Galileo as discovering the means to decode the word of God made manifest in Creation, and pursued science as the word of God, af...

Science says that human beings evolved in tribal groups - and then, quite recently in evolutionary terms, tribal groups joined together to form civili...

I find your posts vague and disconcerting; each a bucket of ice water - splashed on liberally, but which then runs away and evaporates, leaving nothin...

There's some truth to that. In "Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems" Galileo put the geocentric view - the Biblical view of an earth fixed...

I would have thought that those two examples demonstrate first, that I do understand the history, and second, that it is as I've described it - an opp...

I do feel it would be absolutely necessary for sci-pol to respect freedom of conscience, religion, thought, speech and expression. Human rights should...

That would be a realistic concern were it not for the philosophically solid constitutional basis of the party... and the blood oath!

Okay, but thinking with your stomach - tell me this: would you rather get on a rollercoaster designed by an engineer in accord with the established pr...

technocracy NOUN the government or control of society or industry by an elite of technical experts. Right, because "we've had enough of experts." But ...

I think politics does that all on its own - no help from me. It's like that old joke. You can tell when a politician is lying. His lips move!

For the purposes of this thought experiment, I don't see the need. For the purposes of forming a conclusion that religion has supressed science as tru...

Maybe you should watch it again!

Is it too much for your little brain to work out that carbon capture, desalination, recycling etc, require a lot of energy that wind and solar cannot ...

What about these comments requires a source? They are a logical argument. The premise; that resources are a function of the energy available to create...

Indeed. Well your commie club meeting in the pissy corner of an underground carpark, still a no, thanks!

Yes, that would be a no! The same no - you gave my open invitation to engage with philosophy on a philosophy forum. On second thoughts, perhaps I will...

What here requires a source? It requires formatting - because I'm commenting on my own post. If you're going to copy and paste it - either post the or...

You've demonstrated repeatedly that you cannot recognise a good argument. You're a left wing, political correctness ideologue. It's a dogma you cling ...

Such as? Provide sources!

Like I said - you're not capable of following an argument. You want to sit there, wide eyed, and be spoon fed. Had it occurred to you that I'm definin...
