I think you are post rationalizing. Places like Norway, where I live have far more chill police and would let smaller things slide. Yet Norway is about as safe as Japan. Most difference between crime in Norway and Japan is more likely down

I upvoted you for adding some perspective often lacking. However you are still kind of wrong. You are right that humans will continue to live and survive. But our civilization as we know it may very well collapse. Yes some sort of civilizat

I support the effort, but in terms of solving global warming problems this is IMHO a total dead end. The progress is far too slow. It takes far too long time to build these reactors. They are expensive and complicated. Say we get commercial

I think people's brains must work different, because for me this would be a terrible way to do it. I simply cannot read and comprehend math with very long descriptive variable names. Whenever I see people do that, I have to write down

We have had this in Norway for decades already and it does not pop up as a problem the way you describe it. Part of that is because in addition to focus on transparency, we also promote privacy. Yes that may seem like an oxymoron, but here
