And here I am turning my computer off at night for energy consumption, while others run a few extra ones for... for what, anyway? If you're working on problems

And here I am turning my computer off at night for energy consumption, while others run a few extra ones for... for what, anyway? If you're working on problems real people are having (diseases, climate change, poverty, etc.) then sure, but exacerbating the energy transition for a blog post and your personal brand as OP seems to do? How's that not criminal
- macgyverismo 8mo agoIt's not criminal as the power usage is (assumed to be) paid for. It is criminal or at least problematic that the cost of power does not include (negative) externalities, we should strive to change that.
- lazystar 8mo ago> How's that not criminal Well, a) it's a hobby, and b) this is still a free country/free society.
- Aachen 8mo agoI could see the comparison to hobbies which pollute the environment, but in general people do tend to vote for reducing freedom where it harms others
- wartywhoa23 8mo agoIf I were tasked with stripping this country/world of all remaining freedom, I'd surely let bullshit like this proliferate in ordo ab chao mode, where the exact line between ordo and chao is only known to me and my henchmen, and just wait till defeated enjoyers of miserable remnants of said freedom crouch begging me to rob them of that chaos-inducing freedom.
- ionwake 8mo agoI found your post interesting, Im just trying to understand your POV. If you are on a sinking ship would you not do your best to position yourself? Or do you see your actions morally equivalent to others regardless of scale?
