> The gotcha here is that I must hate politics that address the destruction of the planet so i am self-destructive. But you seem reluctant to ascribe working brain cells to people you disagree with, so your gotcha is worded to get a dummy to think. I wonder who told you people you disagree with are fools. Maybe those people aren't your friends. Maybe they secretly hate you. No, the point is the logic of your initial dismissal was asinine: e.g. the problem doesn't look big from space, therefore it must not be a really big deal, (and later, a conspiratorial) therefore the concern about and opposition to the problem must be "non-organic." Then you went back into space again to talk about smog. What you need to do come back to Earth, look at things from the ground, sometimes from others' POV. Your space angle isn't deep or insightful, it may seem so on first glance, like the prose of an LLM instructed to say something deep, but it's similarly empty. > Emotional arguments and trusting snakes who hate you are what got you to where you are in the first place mentally. Time to be critical OF EVERYBODY. What is their angle? Are they paid? 1. Honestly, that reads like a hallucination. It either literally is one or you assume too much. 2. You're giving vibes like you lack anchors and are trending towards paranoia. > ...and feel i've said hurtful things. Being disagreed with IS hurtful in a way, it hurts to have your ideas picked on. heh > I just hope you can be more discerning and be more suspicious when panic is delivered into your feed trying to spin you up again for the thousandth time. Let your dopamine receptors finally burn out completely. ;) See point 1 above. But if you're trying to convince me to shut up, you've failed.

> asinine See? You think people who disagree with you are stupid! When you run a simulation of what what is going on in others' heads, do you envision a sucking void? You ascribe no nuance to me at all. In fact, what if your entire belief system on climate is based on moneyed interest greed and pernicious lies? Is that possible? How many more decades will you wait for the sky to fall until you question? The mind boggling size of the earth reminds me that we are a type 0 civilization that burns stuff for power. Smog for me was not in space, I lived on a hillside and looked straight out into the smog layer and suffered personally for it. To be against pollution is just logical, to think we're capable of destroying the biosphere with our current pollution levels is hubristic. You are capable of hubris, I know big shock!

  >> No, the point is the logic of your initial dismissal was asinine > See? You think people who disagree with you are stupid! No. What I wrote was your "argument" was asinine. Read it again. However, the pattern of your reactions to what I've written are leading me to form certain opinions of you personally, but I don't generalize those to the class of "people who disagree with [me]." You're going off the rails. I suspect you're not actually engaging with what I'm writing, but a character you've created in your head.

    It's amazing how much discourse is just people pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible. Asinine means "utterly silly or stupid" and "ass-like". You can't separate criticizing the person making an argument from criticism of the argument when using a charged put down like 'asinine'. I have made reasoned arguments, nowhere near asinine tier. If you want to appeal to authority/experts or cite lefty prop, okay I guess. Otherwise, I've heard it all and done the research. I've lived too long and watched decades of doomer predictions fail. It's exhausting! Be tired with me, collapse! :) Finally, I never want you to shut up, I just want the grift you prefer (or at least tolerate) to end. The best I can offer you is political exile to the wasteland of failed ideas forever. ;)

      I didn't flag you @palmotea, I prefer to keep the conversation going. I am sympathetic to your frustration, but your words have meaning, whether you are conscious of them or not and those meanings are as far as I can go to meet your mind. One of the last definitions of empathy is to possess a supernatural mind reading ability to understand what others are thinking. I must admit to my inability to read your mind in person or over the internets.
