Comment meritocracy is a myth. There is no such thing (Score 1) 122

In order to have a meritocracy, all people must have the same start. SOme oney, same education opportunities.
Of course, there is no real definition to meritocracy either.

Remember, the term 'meritocracy' was created as a pejoratively.

IT also relies on whos merit? Bezos is a billionaire, but it was from him, it was his workers. Should the people who created his site, the engineers the built it for him have the real merit?

" Fewer people die of heat than die of cold. "
More people will die from the heat. See: dew Point.

"Longer growing season."
lol, excessive heat is bad for crops. And some areas of the earth are already losing farming capacity, not higher yields. major commodity crops like corn, rice, and oats are starting to experience reduced yields due to heat stress and changes in water availability.

" Bring on the CO2."
We produce more CO2 then the plants can handle. BTW, too much CO2 is bad for plants. Just like to much O2 is bad for people.

"We can handle the heat. We will be fine."
Why can't you people grasp the simple fact that as we keep producing more greenhouse gasses, the heat will keep going up? WHy are you so ignorant you think civilization can stand that level of heat growth?

Nuclear is alway used to attack green energy.

I love that you have such faith in corporations dealing with nuclear waste, in spite of decades of improper stores and illegal waste dumping.
What CEO would cut corners that can lead to catastrophe a decade from now for a bonus today, amirite?

Against an industrialized military, I guarantee you tanks are mostly useless.
Russia tank.. well, recent event surprise exactly no one who has been paying attention to Russia of the last 20 years. There military has largely become a façade. It would be publicly ridiculed, but, you know, nukes and the shaky ego of dictators is a bad combination in and of itself. Not a bear to be poked without careful consideration.
