The idea that people actually believe in a "simulation" theory is a right solid indicator that people simply can't process reality. It's pretty much pure solipsism, the philosophy of a child that can't understand how things can be real when they're not in the field of vision. Incidentally, way back in the early days of the Trump farce, there was a poster that got real pissed and quit the Trump thread and I think the forums. They were a gamer, had a gamer AV, had a name that began with Sy or Cy and somehow that's how I always named them in my head. Anyway, they said in their last post that it was too bad because humanity had almost achieved objective permanence. I think about that now and then. We have never really learned to distinguish reality from our own imaginations very well, and in a few more years we'll be back to burning witches and attributing natural forces to gods that we'll create for that purpose. We are really dumb. We were on a serious upward trend and had we opted for something better than wild-west capitalism we might have had the juice to actually do something about our predicament.

Jel Shaker posted:i see graphs like this and think, we really are sure that plastic nanoparticles are non-toxic right? I think I linked to a study somewhere in this thread which found thousands of different chemicals leaching from typical plastic containers into food and identified a bunch that are definitely toxic. And that's the "good" plastic. On the other hand, they only identified like 10% of the compounds, which means the remaining 90% could be nothing I guess!  Here it is: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.1c01103

AppleNippleBOB posted:Does anyone have a link to a study/article describing this? I don't not believe you, but holy poo poo. This is the study. It estimates plastic consumption is somewhere between 0.1 grams and 5 grams a week. When they found BPA has bad health effects, companies just switched to using BPS, which is chemically similar but there's no proof yet that it's harmful. Glass containers would be fine, but they're heavy and more expensive to ship.

Believe that phase is usually called "bargaining". for anyone who hasn't, the first part of this 38 minute video is a run through of what it would take to capture gigatons of co2 per year. the second part is a run through of how and where we could store it. its a very dry and boring numbers/charts/graphs academic presentation. you can watch it in under a half hour at 1.5x speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6WjxL8anSQ this is how i get my crack ping fix now, watching xan'd out grad students one up each other with nonsense presentations on how we'll create a co2 pipeline network bigger than the current oil pipeline network MightyBigMinus has issued a correction as of 23:10 on Nov 20, 2021 |
