Let's leave aside if per-capita and accumulated are important metrics or not. Let's accept that the Chinese are worse polluters than the US. Congratulations, you are the second worst polluter. What, did I hear India? Ok, you are j

I really do not care about Trump or his supporters. This is hurting all of us, specially the coming generations.

This, very much this. Another way to put this: the asteroid does not care if your financial markets have factored it in the models or not. It just hits you.

What are you talking about? Lead is bad for your health. CFCs are bad for Ozone. CO2 is bad for global warming. All pretty much universally accepted. European cars, with cheating and all, are miles ahead of US cars. And they have been heavi

There are things that must be dealt with at the international level.

And this diverts attention from the last N scandals. Pretty sad to think that humankind was not moved from a dangerous path to cover a pussy grabber.

Problem is, US will put them too. Actually, Trump wants to put them for other reasons, so we would be falling on his trap there.

When talking about global warming, yes. To an overwhelming extent.

For me nothing embodies anthropomorphism more than the stubborn insistence in looking for water and carbon when looking for life. Talk about bias!

There are more people with low grades than with high grades, so it is not surprising that if you are a disruptor you are probably a low grade type. The interesting question.is: what is the percent of disruptors in low grade types? And in hi

Yes, it is very profitable. Those arms will kill somebody. It will even kill you in some years, once the friendly country you sold your arms to is no longer friendly.

Org mode, in git repo. Can be exported as blog, but I mostly do not care, since I am usually at my desk. I push the repo to a server I own on the net. If it has secrets, I gitencypt it.

Who pays for cleaning the gap? How do you guarantee that the city does not extend into it? Is pollution from fire offset by the cleaning effects of trees?

Same reason why you would never trust any country to be a nuclear power, no matter how trustworthy it seems to be. Specially one which has used nuclear weapons against civilians in the past. Oh, wait, never mind ...

Of course not, they have other reasons. Which are not valid, since the only good reasons are the ones you listed.

> There's no fundamental reason we can't get rid of borders and open the world up to free movement and trade. I would say those are the goals of any humanist. The EU is a step in that direction, unfortunately finding difficulti

Let me rephrase your statement: “religion can not be violent because by definition it is not violent. Any violent element is instrumentalisation of religion, and not religion, by definition“

It's a good shortcut to properly summarize the previously stated arguments. Those who know what we are talking about, understand that. If they nevertheless attack it as childish, even knowing that what lies behind is a complex story of

I do not directly (the world is a complicated place) support, financially or otherwise, Apple or M$. I boycott them both whenever I get the chance. I am relatively cool about Google. I do not live in the past, but I still like to point ou

Apple is the nail in the coffin. The coffin was ordered by M$. But the battle, and the war, was lost long before Apple became the behemonth it is now. Apple did nothing to kill OS, it arrived when it was dead. As for Google, they actually p

Without the forces that were pushed against OS for the good part of the 90s, it would have arguably taken over the software world. In that situation, Apple would not have succeeded as a walled garden, as it has. So, although OS-the-product

Right. The first challenge is to have a clear enough definition of life. I do not even think that reproduction is a necessary property.

I don't have a clue. But I would not pretend to know that life must be water based, as if this was an obvious fact. There are lots of things we do not know. I would still be excited when finding water in other planets, though. In gen
