    This thread is focusing on whether he’s right, even while being a shithead. The problem IMO is not whether he’s right or not, it’s what his ‘plans’ are if the world moves in the direction he starts nudging. Guy’s a psycho edgelord pro-fascist with Bond villain tendencies, but he’s surfed on trends to carve monopolies before… Idk




  • Just insulting people will always make them buck against your points, however valid and informed. Bad approach.

    The problem with radioactive waste isn’t the fact that it’s dangerous now, it’s the fact that it remains dangerous for much longer than we’re even remotely able to plan for. People will likely have to deal with that danger in waaaay longer than civilization has existed on earth so far.

    So the horizontal borehole for instance: amazing idea for the next century - or even, heck, few millenia!! - but how do you make sure our ancestors in 50,000 years never drill a new borehole right there?















  • Align the two apples so they’re off center to one another. One has 2/3 on the outside to the left, 1/3 to the right, the other 2/3 to the outside to the right, 1/3 to the left.

    Bird’s eye view, the single line cutting both apples will leave us with the left 2/3 of the first apple and the right 2/3 of the second, and a third portions made of 2 thirds, or another 2/3 of an apple.

    One cut, 2 apples, 3 equal portions.

    Agreed with the first part of your post, but you completely loose me at “stop buying shit” being a solution.

    Any meaningful massive change requires systemic and legislative frameworks that companies, political organizations and government entities have to abide by - and this framework basically modulates popular behavior. Ex: what’s available for purchase (ex: only things meeting certain profit margins or environmental criteria), who you advertise to and what you can advertise (ex: not to children, not for medication, etc), etc etc

    If we expect and hope people to “wake up” and change their behaviour en masse, it’s simply never going to happen, and the large corporations and lobbies keep rubbing their hands, happy we’re guilt tripping each other rather than vote in people with clear legislative and regulatory agendas focused on actual human well-being…

    Sry for the rant
