Yeah, it's something that gives me pause about political action against global warming: how many people who want such political action are willing to never ride a plane or a cruise ship ever again? I think few have processed that a rea

No it's not, that started around 2010 with the Great Awokening. It's being driven by the mainstream media: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1133440945201061888.html

I would expect the child sexual exploitation scandal would have been the main thing leading to Brexit. Do British posters agree?

This is very true, and I actually enjoy reading Slate Star Codex. I was pretty shocked at how insightful the Socratic dialogues are, when I tried reading them recently.

No, there are no current day U.S. equivalents to the Uyghur reeducation camps, the ethnic cleansing of Tibet, and the extreme censorship. What's more, there is no evidence that China is even capable of changing course on these matters,

If it's up to me, doing any business that aids the Chinese government is unethical.

That's just a tu quoque fallacy, as venture capital being indifferent to making the world a better place does not mean it is ethical to do business with China.

Yes! Everything must be done to preserve a life. Imagine instead of starving herself, she had slit her wrists. Do you believe the correct case then is to allow her to bleed out? Because that would be the exact same situation, only with the

You don't consider it arrogance to believe you know for sure how that girls life would have developed?

No, not even they. A good thing is something you would visit upon all humanity, and while they may potentially wish to do so to all infidels, they would not wish to do it to their faithful.

This is the most aggressively anti-human thing I have ever seen, possibly even more than ISIS or cartel executions, because at least the perpetrators of those atrocities know that they are doing evil, even if they're unrepentant, which

They only take that long due to red tape, not due to any intrinsic reason. France did not have this problem. The U.S. could do like them, create the one standardized design for a nuclear plant, build them all the same way, which of course w

If we weren't here, there would be no such thing as 'good', as that is an entirely human construct.

Eh. The Soviet Union really was a uniquely dysfunctional place. The level of reality denial and sucking up to the higher ups that led to Chernobyl is not commonplace.

Hasn't that always been the case in China?

That's probably a "golden" opportunity for the MPAA and the like. Implicate a Pirate Bay link with "neo-nazis" or "racists", watch it go down shortly after. Perhaps Alex Jones or Sargon of Akkad could star

Wasn't Europe always like that though? I don't think that has to do with petrol prices.

> Carbon pricing (which can come in the form of a tax or cap and trade) is the single most effective mechanism to address climate change. Is it? That's how France ended up with the yellow vests. It seems likely that demand for fossi

No, I don't. Neo-nazis have always existed, have always killed people, and have always been very few. Same for any other group you care to name. Violence overall is on a down trend.

Some of the best art resonates best with people who have experienced significant suffering, such as yourself. I have recommendations, if you want them, but ultimately, I think there is a way out of your suffering, and it lies within you. I

Utterly nonsensical. You don't need the internet to be radicalized, people have been willing to kill in the name of their convictions for as long as humans have existed. I predict even if somehow every white supremacist were booted off

There are many ways around global warming, of which current Democrat policy is just one. Republicans are being silly by not proposing alternative approaches to this problem, agreed, but they absolutely can.

That's fine, as long as scientists are fully conscious of the cognitive biases induced by their politics. There is definitely a phenomenon of academia trying to pass off political conviction as empirical fact. Given that the universe w
