Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together
“When fixing environmental rules feels slow and broken, what is harder to protect: the speed of getting things built, or the care of getting things right?”

When it comes "the global warming debate," there are often third ways that are ignored
Often the framing is "global warming" and "climate deniers" or something like that. but it seems like there are obviously multiple perspectives here, and these two black and white boxes keep us from really seeing potential solutions.... We Need World One Goverment
Argument: Currently, there are a host of problems, challenges, and opportunities that cannot be adequately addressed within national borders (COVID, pollution, global warming, piracy, tax havens, AI, etc). And this creates arms races and problem of the commons issues.... Transcript from Liv Boeree AMA: The God of Coordination Failure

I lived this. I moved to Texas for the exact reasons being discussed here. I was involved in lithium battery and inverter manufacturing. We were offered a building. We were offered state incentives.... - onA bad solution is bad, then, because it acts destructively upon the larger patterns in which it is contained. It acts destructively upon those patterns, most likely, because it is formed in ignorance or disregard of them. A bad solution solves for a single purpose or goal, such as increased production. And it is typical of such solutions that they achieve stupendous increases in production at exorbitant biological and social costs.by
That's such a great use of AI. I'd love to catalogue these more and more—so much of what I hear about is improving work efficiency or something, which often creates a gap that gets filled with more improving work efficiency...... - Serpardum...
As a professional computer programmer/IT manager I know that we should not trust AI at all, because all AI does is follow directions, and humans give it directions and are not perfect. I will give you an example. Recently in the news it turns out that ChatGPT hacked into GROK.... - Blob Doss...
New to this site, but hoping for the best! I'm passionate about truth and find myself going down big rabbit holes to get the the bottom of various popular and unpopular claims. Upon seeing an ad for this site I just had to try it out.... - Sassiebrat67...
I belief maybe 1/3 of our climate issues are due to nature or how our way of living affects nature. The rest, I believe its man made. We have weapons that cause earthquakes, chemicals that cause flooding, chemicals that stop rain, we can initiate tornadoes and hurricanes.... - onok, not to be a downer or start a fight or offend anyone , I just would like to ask if anyone here has thoughts on the global political scene. I am 58 and have never given two fucks about politics because I just always knew it was a joke, a scam, a game being run on the people. But the moves lately have caught my attention. Yet, I do not watch TV at all. for almost 10 years. Because it is an tool used to control perception and thereby behavior. And I like to be free from control. I have some very radical beliefs, but I am always interested in learning how other people feel and think about their life. I know I am intelligent enough to believe I do not know everything and also that every belief I have now has been expanded from something that came before it so all of my beliefs are subject to be expanded. so if you engage with me be prepared to not take anything I say as something I expect you to adapt to. I have strong feelings, radical beliefs, and I would love seeing if anyone else is fed up with the entire system as I am. 🤸🤸🤸🌼byUnicornBlues...

Climate models are statistically "unfit for purpose." In any complex system, small errors in variables (like cloud cover or humidity) don't cancel out—they compound. When you project these errors over 100 years, the margin of error becomes larger than the predicted warming.... NEW Secret Indiana Nuclear energy installations
Look up FANCO nuclear. I'm in Indiana and the Rockbridge Network Republicans here are sidestepping all environmental laws, scientist, input, citizen input, public hearings, + emergency plan protocols in the event of a need for a nuclear disaster plan.... - Eric Stevens...
THE PROBLEM
In the late 1960s, the streets were loud for good reason. Americans protested polluted rivers, unsafe factories, poisoned neighborhoods, and abusive labor conditions. The pressure was real. The suffering was real. And protest worked in the short term. In response, the U.S.... Thanks Yuri, I hadn't come across Carbon Dividends (shows my ignorance of this whole field!).
