The NYT essay titled Climate Activists Need to Radically Change Their Approach Under Trump is more peculiar than most—not for the familiar pro-fossil falsehoods that it propagates, par for the course, but bc it swiftly argues THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF ITS TITLE

rather than, say, method is entirely uninspected in the column. Things get considerably more strange rather quickly, however, when he suggests that retrospectively, we should have been able to decipher unforeseen consequences of previous events. This, I assure you, is weird as fuck. Why? ->

today's NYT column by @adamgrant.bsky.social is staggeringly bizarre. It takes as its theme the proposition that our sense of how the next 4 years will unfold is certainly wrong; the basis of this claim is that most prognosticators are wrong. Surely true, but offering as explanation HUMAN NATURE ->
