Ok - here's my criticism of the 'right'. They talk about less government, but never do anything about it! Never. They will say whatever it is that sounds good to conservatives, but do the opposite. Left and right are all o

Parachutes cannot open at 15000 feet on earth - the air pressure is not there. Why do they open at an air pressure equivalent of 120000 on Mars? And even if they did open, they would only be able to carry a miniscule weight. You realise tha

The mars atmosphere is equivalent to 120,000 feet. The record altitude for a helicopter on earth is 40,820 feet. How are helicopters able to fly so high on Mars? Also, parachutes do not open when the altitude is greater than 15,000 feet. Ho

Tiered pricing doesn't make a judgement on what you are using. It doesn't say "you're using your oven or A/C too much". What I would like to know, is are smart meter capable of refusing a demand for electricit

Serious question - if we are being recommended anything to watch, shouldn't we have some sort of idea of what the algorithm does? I would love to see advocates for openness in algorithms, as we have advocates for open source software.

Smart meters are an essential part of the technocratic control structure. It is imperative that technocrats (those best able to manage the populations) have all the information about individuals and household electric and water usage, so t

For me, it is at that stage where I would have to prove whatever is being said for myself, rather than accept any claims. Even reading the paper would not be enough - I mean that I would need to verify the claim personally. Obviously I do

Absolutely. Trust, faith in scientists, in journals, opinions, consensus opinion, etc should be irrelevant. The studies/observations/experiments should stand for themselves.

The thing is, you believe your basic facts. Believe, not know. But you call it 'knowing'. Knowing is when you verify facts for yourself. By not checking information, but just accepting whatever is handed to you, you are applyin

Absolutely - we should do this everywhere! We should mandate in fact. Make sure that babies, the elderly, everyone have to get say, 'RNA' vaccines. Brilliant idea! What could go wrong? Nothing.
