Christmas Personified as a Catgirlit's fair to ask why if I believe in AGW do I sow so much discord and dissent around it. The answer is that I think it's not actually an easy social or scientific question, and I think it's too late to reverse the effects using normal methods and would like to skip straight to mars-mission-tier projects to solve AGW, CO2 increase, ocean acidification, using science and technology. The irony is that you can get no buy-in on this from the AGW promoters despite being the "I fucking love science" crowd because they don't want a solution to global warming that involves capitalism and industry, they want a socialist revolution to solve it.
@delores @augustus what I'm saying is, the term "climate change" was always more accurate than "global warming" because a steady increase in the average temperature could in fact create a new small ice age. OK so you can't predict that certain things for sure will happen because of an increase in temperature, but you can demonstrate specific ways that human activity that raises the average temperature causes environmental effects that result in very negative outcomes for stable ecosystems including ones that sustain us.
@xj9 @mono @clacke the social sciences reject rigor as a colonialist imposition on lived truths of minorities and marginalized peoples. And I am not making this up. google "autoethnography"
@clacke @bob @deadsuperhero @maiyannah server to server doesn't need CAs at all, in fact I'd rather see this be a case for actually using monkeysphere, but that may be asking too much of the universe.
@clacke @bob @deadsuperhero @maiyannah I want the servers to gossip keys and act as observatories ala https everywhere so this can be detected, ala https everywhere. This is not a complete solution but like email I think we're going to end up layering defense mechanisms
@maiyannah @linuxsocist Dogs adopted us into their packs and we adopted them into theirs. Cats domesticated themselves because they saw weakness in the human species that could be exploited.
@linuxsocist I think the only moral political system is anarchism but that it always loses to hierarchical systems, who then calcify and collapse. I believe that social constructs matter, but some are more useful than others. I believe that progress is a social construct and is not useful. I think that humans are clannish and tribal and that will never ever change and denying it will cause worse tragedies than dealing with its problems. I believe that left wing politics are not fixed around ideologies but accelerating change. I believe that right wing ideologies do not truly exist except in monarchies. I believe that society's purpose is keeping order rather than defending rights. I beleve that all people need to feel productive and challenged or they will be unsatisfied. I believe that if you deprive any person of dignity and choice that you can't predict what they'll do next. I believe that societies don't change, they are replaced by different societies. sometimes this is demographic, sometimes it's just birth and death. I believe that whatever leads to consciousness is built into the universe and everything has it to some degree and so there is no clear distinction between things that are self-aware and are not. I believe that simulation is creation. I believe that God is real but is at least seven degrees of simulation above this one. I believe dogs are better than cats.
