You may be right that this is a prioritization problem, in that the priority is allowing incompetent/bad bureaucrats and unelected administrators as a central-single point of failure to make decisions - rather than allowing the free ma

Worrying about reputation rather than character then? Do you give other people such considerations when they're speaking but not yourself, or do you judge other people (like you judge yourself) if you don't get everything 100% cle

Is it surprising or unsurprising to see such amount of social anxiety in the comments?

Is there a present moment costs/pros-cons matrix updated by trustworthy organizations to compare and contrast options, e.g. current cost per kw of each technology, alternative use of lands/opportunity costs for those lands, etc?

If using nuclear how much land would be required to provide the same amount of energy?

That's a very shallow view and understanding, no? You don't think weather patterns could shift? It's not black-and-white as "clouds = more rain" - as there's obviously the question of distribution. Likewise, wa

And how is the seed clouding that's occurring globally impacting this [it's very obvious now, for those unaware, there is GeoengineeringWatch.org and their documentary free on YouTube called "The Dimming"], as well as pe

Sorry, which link are you referring to? If https://bsky.app/settings/external-embeds - I don't have an account. I'm curious what the partnership fees with Namecheap look like, if there's even transparenc

Water vapour in the sky traps heat, so how much is the cloud seeding that's blatantly-obviously happening widespread impacting-causing this?

I really would love to see an effort, perhaps best spearheaded by Boring Company themselves, to do a very thorough "feature matrix" of pros and cons and real-life current costs of things depending on the area, e.g. snow removal co

What about price increases that say match inflation?

What scenario(s) would you be willing to pay to cover Google's costs, rather than your viewing being subsidized by other users/visitors who are 1) paying, or 2) watching the ads?

Re: "due to miscalculations by all sides" Miscalculations is giving an out that isn't warranted. At least one party involved wanted the "war" to continue.

Re: "War happens when one party thinks that the other party is weak enough to be attacked." You're almost there. Now just integrate 1) industrial complexes that form via a handful of greedy-psychopathic individuals who lobby

Maybe on the surface (pun intended) it appears stupidly expensive in comparison, but I bet if you actually put a value to all of the positives then the cost would at minimum be at par. With tunnels you can also go 3D, you could go 100 tunne

Why not tunnels that don't disrupt and takeover surface environment preventing nature or other infrastructure - and not impacted by weather? https://www.boringcompany.com

I think us humans are flawed enough where we need a reminder of timescale, e.g. how time tested is a theory, how long did a different belief exist before a new understanding arose? Einstein for example had public resistance to his theory of

Dr. Christopher Essex in a recent interview [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpjpBWxvamA ] highlighted that it's called "peer review" and not "expert review" - which I think is an often most importan

I think it's a consequence of abundance, which can lead to excess and undue waste if we begin to lose control of self-regulation. Resources will have to fairly be being distributed; not through authoritarian collectivism mechanism, con

Absolutely the prime driver.

The issue is when that line of thinking becomes warped or pathologized - like seems to be happening here in Canada with the MAID program (assisted death).

I presume your "merchants of doubt" is referencing the people and scientists-researchers who don't think CO2 is the existential threat or urgent crisis that is being propagated in MSM and by authoritarian politicians with ult

I hope we soon learn and grow as a society to understand the externalized costs of allowing cheap-shallow ads, that do far more than waste time and attention, aren't acceptable - are easily net harmful.

I wouldn't really base my safety on a simple shallow metric like amount of time passing.

What were you able to derive from those two short quotes that don't really have any substance to them?
