Idiots

Still waiting for the ability to block instances as a user.

And this is why you don’t allow societies to have police

It would take 5, maybe 10 years at most to build a Lofstrom loop making it possible to send out unmanned mining craft en masse, and then have the craft process minerals in zero g and then dump the calcium into the ocean. Furnish the magnesium into rebar and run a current theough it when it’s stuck in the deep sea. We could even build nice seasteading islands at the same time with that approach – create more living space while undoing the damage we’ve done to the oceans. Win-win.

Governments are running experiments on SSPSes now, in no small psrt because of climate change.

We absolutely can and should take the space approach now while we still have time.

Speaking of time, we can and should launch a solar shade up there to immediately stop the warming to give us the time we need to decarbonize, and clean up the oceans and forests. A solar shade will cool the Earth without the baggage and environmental problems associated with dumping sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as the U.S. and EU are considering.

Of all the options, the solar shade might be the most mandatory, and would be very doable cheaply with a Lofstrom loop.

Ba dum, tssh

I don’t care if you feel convinced or not. It’s the truth. New large trucks will always put out more CO2 than electric cars, even considering manufacturing, and that doesn’t change just because you don’t want to hear it. And that’s the end of the debate.

No you don’t get what I’m saying, because I am explicitly telling you I am not playing your game. My ethics are my personal boundaries, not trivialities up for debate. OP wanted to know what they were, so I shared them. That does not make it open for debate, nor is my refusal to allow it to be put up to debate, up for debate.

Take the hint and go away.

It’s reductive because it’s not meant to convince you. It’s simply what is. You asked me why I thought it is moral and those are my reasons why, and they’re gonna stay that way whether you like it or not. They don’t have to be reasonable or sensible or in line with your worldview. You don’t have to agree with them. They don’t even have to make sense to you. They’re MY reasons, and they are valid simply because I hold them, because I say they are, because I decide what’s ethical to me and what’s not. That’s all.

And you have to put up with that whether you want to or not.

Thanks for telling us you’re just meaninglessly concern trolling and for proving debate is fucking pointless

Human expansion into space is anything but that and the idea that it is is just meaningless capitalist propaganda. Human expansion into space consists of:

• Building space solar power stations (SSPSes) to beam power down to the Earth 24/7 to replace the coal plants

• Mining calcium and magnesium from the Moon and near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) to bind with the excess CO2 in th oceans to stop and reverse ocean acidification

• Mining rare-Earth elements from NEAs to mass-produce electric cars and batteries down here ln Earth to replace gas vehicles

• Build O’Neill cylinders to preserve and rebuild ecosystems in safe places where poachers will never be able to reach

Among other things.

I am sorry that other Millennials just gave in to their trauma and were unable to do anything to fix the problem. I am sorry Boomers and Gen-Xers caused it in the first place.

I am a millennial and I am going to act to solve the problem in my lifetime. I might need your help, but I don’t expect you to be burdened with responsibility for older generations’ actions. We all can hold the evil shitty people accountable, and build a better and brighter future if we work together.

You lazy idiots aren’t about to demand anything of a young kid. Shut the fuck up, grow up, and do it yourselves.

If that’s all a Ph. D wielding senior scientist like you has to bring to the table, then it’s a good thing we don’t listen to you ivory tower dorks.

I hate to break it to you, but things don’t just work the way you want them to simply because you need them to. Reality is in no way obligated to meet your needs or conform to your sensibilities

You forget those clowns buy new gas guzzling trucks in large part to spite the left and climate efforts as a whole, which negates your point.

…Changes which will never happen and will themselves cause untold suffering and millions of deaths, so no one will ever support them.

What we need is a method that would not negatively impact human standard of living. Human expansion into space would do it; we’ll require the energy and resources up there to geoengineer in a non-stupid way and get the energy and resources to get off Exxon-Mobil’s oily cock and undo ocean acidification anyway.

So let’s do that instead. We can prevent the civil war that would erupt from climate austerity too.

It is to me. Most content is corporate generated consumerist garbage anyway so it doesn’t matter. Our right to access content is more important than a creator’s right to restrict access to it for profit. It’s information and ideas. And we are entitled to all information and ideas. I am entitled to it simply because I say so, and if you want me to stop, you’ll have to kill me.

It’s as simple as that.

Sounds like a good reason for Ukraine to invade Moscow and drag Putin to the Hague then.

Actually I worry this is all a moot point anyway because the Russians really did rig the Zaphorzhiza plant to blow, meaning a nuclear conflict is probably going to be an inevitable conclusion to the whole thing regardless.

Yeah…🤦 Yeah…

All of it. Piracy is in no way unethical.
