You have a response to what Dyson argues? No, so you instead cast a doubt on the entire argument - classic FUD.
Culture is not just influenced by scientific thought rather a lot of narrative based on emotion. Think how we are fighting LGBTQ+ and gender wars, when poverty is nowhere on any agenda!
BTW, I do not respond with position convenient for upvotes (a mentality I largely notice in the HN crowd), and it does not matter to me if the thread gets votes or not. I actually think these votes create perverse incentives that stiffle debate.
- cagenut 7y agoThe whole point of this thread is that the people who stand to lose money as we all draw the obvious and inevitable conclusions (stop burning coal/oil/gas ASAP) know they cannot win the debate, but they know the longer the "debate" drags on the more money they make. To continue to fall into the "debate" trap is to have already let them win. So yes, you're damn right i'm "stifling" this debate. Whether you're a bad person using debate as a concern trolling topic, or just a dope who's inability to understand things and draw clear conclusions leaves you forever trapped in analysis paralysis, doesn't matter. Either way its time to stop humoring you.
