Thanks for sharing these. From what I can see, the criticism here is coming entirely from journalists/activists. It makes me wonder: how many of the opinions that we are exposed to originate from journalists/activists? How much are we mixing up the opinions of these people as representing the opinions of scientists, engineers and philosophers? How much are we mixing up the opinions of journalists/activists as representing those of your average person? I'm starting to see a deep issue with the preeminence of journalist/activist opinion.
