There is no shortage of 100% native born white American dumbasses. Never has been.

Stupid knows no color.

The future belongs to the children of people too stupid to use birth control.

To be fair, by loosening COVID restrictions despite the recommendation of public health and pushing anti-vaxxer talking points with a wink and a nod, Ron DeSantis has done more to solve the problem of old people retiring without savings than anyone.

The resort-style facilities are to chase "price-insensitive" consumers, who will be the future donor base.

Like everything else, US colleges are dependent on the whims and preferences of the people with the most money. The rest of us are just along for the ride.

The fatal flaw of open platforms like Linux is that there is a tension between choice and standardization, and too much choice fragments the market. Android vs. iOS is the same problem.

The ordinary computer user thinks of their computer as an appliance they use to get to the internet, run software, and maybe play games. To beat Windows, you need to be able to run Microsoft Office or better and a reliable consistent user interface. Apple has both, Linux has neither.

"It is better to be feared than to be loved, if you cannot be both."

That's why the problem is hard. Any "solution" that requires a lower global standard of living is not a solution.

A billion Chinese people are not going back into poverty.

If educated, intelligent, and conscientious people have fewer children, then logically this means that the future will be dominated by the children of the ignorant, dumb, and selfish.

One man had the answer, but The Avengers had to go and mess it all up.

You are proposing that I lower my standard of living. You are OK with that because you don't like what you think my lifestyle choices are and you want to tell me how to live.

Well, I have a message for you and the carbon-neutral horse you rode in on.

I think you are being far too optimistic about solar, wind, and geothermal power being able to replace fossil fuels.

This is why violence sometimes IS the answer.

What is the cost to humanity of making the "major transformations of human society" advocated by the statement?

Cheap energy has made life better for billions of people and has caused a dramatic reduction in global poverty. Changing that will have serious negative consequences. I don't think over a billion Chinese people are willing to go back to extreme poverty.

The scientific community seems to be in as deep denial about the cost of the transformations as the "denialists" are about climate change itself.

What sufferings will be caused by the "major transformations to global society" they are advocating?

Greenhouse emissions are the side effect of a lot of good things that have made human life a lot better. What is the point of reducing emissions to zero if it leaves humanity cold and hungry?

"Nevertheless, there have been several failed attempts by outsiders -- the best known by an international team of 17, all of whom died in an avalanche during their ascent on 3 January 1991."

Kwaha Karpo doesn't fuck around.
