Oh I wasn’t advocating for free markets. I think it’s a ridiculous “phrase of power” spoken tradition gibberish. I’m highlighting social hypocrisy. Google isn’t sustainable without policy concessions; the market value gibberish is added ont

I was never talking about climate models. I rebuked the idea survival is certain because it won’t be “too hot” for biology according to a climate model. We have no idea if we’ll remain rational actors until we experience and try to adapt to

The majority of the software industry is just lucky benefactors who “got there first”. Google isn’t a sustainable business without paying enormous sums to remain in business, without a whole lot of political concessions that have been made

You can try to sell me on it emotionally but it isn’t going to happen. Economic trade is just something humans do . Babbling about it in rambling fluffy semantics is not what gives rise to economic activity. A lot of these builders should

Isn’t receiving hundreds of millions a year a sustainable business? I did not realize currency trade was constrained to your sensibilities; my bad. Private property, free markets! Until two parties enter into an arrangement then you demand

Ok keeping it simple; any model we make has a non-zero chance of being bullshit. Parameters could be over or under weighted given current state, choices of scientists. And we have ZERO data points from a future where people actually are liv

Some people dislike what Microsoft did with Minecraft online and want to make it so the service is shut down and perhaps costs jobs! How the turn tables. I guess people who like to use language that’s “bad” by traditional standards will hav

Human society is not built on objectivity. It’s built on determining a “winner”. Private property creates subjective use of property. What objective social good is coming from private monopoly and erosion of local ecology? You see arbitrari

False equivalence; we have a baseline for when water will boil due to years of experiment highlighting physical constraints. We have no baseline for human behavior after another 100 years of climate change. Future hasn’t happened yet, past

They did not decide “arbitrarily”. If you read it you’d have read the neighborhood got involved and were calling out the size, ecological impact. Current residents have private property rights too. Both sides arguing in defense of their rig

Comment I replied to suggested scientists do not currently see climate change as a human species extinction level event Modeling the future of a species of billions, many irrational actors, is too complicated to put my trust in scientists t

You expect all the people who were promised Hell on Earth to without?

Two people who did not have to work to survive found purpose generating useless semantics. By their time physical science had placed upper and lower bounds on what’s possible even if the public was not aware of it. I get the appeal and went

Scientists cannot accurately predict the behavior of millions and billions at long timescales.

Shame on you for ignoring the industrial feedback loop that is required to make consumer vehicles. The building and refueling of gas stations. Shipping replacement parts. The trip to the store is not their only impact. You’re cherry picking

And humans are back to waving off reality in deference to ephemera.

Elites constrain candidate choice and voters are too distracted staying afloat to demand different. City officials are not expected to do better.

But doing reasonable things without deference to “how things have always worked in our society” is unconscionable. Think of the loss of figurative identity a minority of landlords might incur!
