There are scientists who support flat earthers. Are they part of the scientific consensus? This "article" is clearly intended to push a certain narrative and if they bothered to even ask another scientist, there might be more cred

Who chooses who to bear the negative externalities. Seems like if you're the one who's drilling, you should not be immune to the consequences of the pollution. But again, the ones least well positioned to deal with the pollution a

why's that a car problem? Give everyone $20 and they can buy a radio with batteries.

there's lots of systems. you don't have to fight them all at the same time.

Article cites the twitter layoffs as setting the example that companies can be leaner, but I'm not sure why this journalist didn't ask if it's a good example or a bad one. From the tech side, seems like twitter's reliabi

You're saying they can't make one now. The question is what are we doing before that happens because if you're only thinking about acting when it's viable we're all probably already dead.

I think you're very wrong about this. I think this is similar to gun control laws. A lot of people may have murderous rage but maybe the extent of it is they get into a fist fight or at most clumsily swing a knife. Imagine how safe you

Makes me think of the Ford Nucleon. Either people at the time didn't care about radiation poisoning or there was enough optimism and hope that nuclear fission was not automatically conflated with war. The zeitgeist of our time is one w

If Elon was not rich and he did the same things you'd call him dumb. Why are we pretending someone who impulsively decided they'd buy twitter without due diligence "not stupid"?

Except machine gun fire is consistent. Say you were to plan against guerilla warfare with various arms and various tactics that evolve each year because there's an arms marketplace. Could you? How often do the people who pay for the so

Do they own valuable homes or do they own valuable land? I can see the land value increasing because it is now rezone-able and you can build multiple units worth on it.
