Soon well be at each other throats!
our society isn't built to embrace recession yet.
Our society isn't built to survive either.
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so very unlike your Christ.

Half of infinity is still infinity, but smaller?
Can you hand me that spatula? I need to scrape my brains off the walls.
I really want to vote today, but I won't.
I already did ;)
It's the wrong approach. Earth is in a gross state of ecological overshoot. We should be embracing the demographic decline that will bring our populations and consumption back in line with earths resources.
A shrinking society due to aging is far prefereable than one due to resource exhaustion, deprivation and conflict.
Embrace a smaller population and a bigger world.
If China didn't have self serving hypocrisy, there would be only silence.
Trump and the Reform/Maga conservatives hate us for our freedom, democracy and good (enough) government.
This was painful to read. If he says neoliberal one more time, I'll need a cleanup crew to scrape my brains off the walls.
It's rambling, full of emotion but makes no point(s). He'll deride batteries, then deride nuclear for not being able to ramp up and down fast enough and not put two and two together (along with pumped hydro) that they are suitable mixes that allow for anytime baseloads and responsiveness.
Wind also SHOULD be prioritized. The author even says it accidentally. There are no fuel operating costs.
The only thing he got right is that the service should be nationalized and unified to eliminate duplication and waste. Private investment of generating capacity is almost always bullshit, because they want price guarentees and subsidies of externalities. Private profit, social losses, like where a nuke plant will be profitable, but will let the government take care of the pesky waste disposal costs.
It belongs in the commons.
The UK, like the world over, needs to focus on demand (1) and supply.(2)
1a.Demand Reduction. E.g. passive house, public transit.
1b. Efficiency: e.g. heat pumps over furnaces or boilers.
2a. Solar, Wind, Tidal and hydro renewables as a base load.
2b. Batteries and pumped storage for adjusting quickly to load changes.
2c. Nuclear to fill the projected gaps, which are enourmous, until our population, lifestyles and benefits of everything under #1 can bring civilization into balance.
Most importantly, is to stop the tremendous bullshit and waste of AI and crypto. I'm not saying we shouldn't pursue them, but making them widespread and such enourmous consumers of resources we don't have to spare when they are neither needed, warranted, desired or desirable when we are facing an energy crunch is akin to suicide - choosing death and destruction, screaming "weeeeee!" As your roller coaster rides into the lava dome of the active volcano.
Thanks. My mistake was to view infinite as stretching without end in both directions. Today I learned. Thanks.
What doesn't make sense to me is infinite rooms and infinite guests and is full. You ask everyone to move down 10 rooms, why is 1-10 now free? You had infinite guests too, wouldn't more filled rooms appear?
Or Is infinite only infinite (undefined) on the upper end, but defined on the lower? E.g. 1.
Socialism to them just means "I don't like it and you shouldn't either."
Rules for thee, not for me. Fuckem.
Seems odd. To be consistent, they should jail opposition candidates and stuff ballot boxes and murder traitorous opposition to the one true leader. I propose a new model : The Thunderdome. Two go in, one comes out, until the leader is chosen.
TREE(yomomma)
I am one of them. I still can't get past the Hotel paradox. To me an infinite number of guests cancels out an infinite number of rooms.
Infinite guests = infinite rooms Infinity + n = infinity To say the bus of unbound guests could just move into infinite rooms seems to give a property of rooms without limit that is not shared with the original infinite guests.
The original premize states the hotel is full. Because the only thing that matches infinite rooms are infinite guests.
Apparently I am very stupid. My sister was right all along.

Well, that's everything you needed to know. This is what the 2nd ammendment was for. All enemies foreign and domestic.
