Advocacy for air conditioning is as shallow and dishonest as that of electric cars. A last ditch attempt at keeping the current unsustainable way of life unchanged with a measure inherently limited to a minority elite which probably knows it and can't care as long as it can get away with it.

So many incredibly obvious questions around the AI collective stupidity phenomenon and yet no single media dares to asks them because they are all terrified of IT companies. First one: what data is actually stored in all those data centers that is suddenly so huge that we need hundreds of them?

How many debates and arguments that have been had over what "religion" is and does are broad enough to include any possible religion rather than merely the Islam-Christianism-Judaism block? The making of religion synonymous with the block is a rather insidious propaganda tool.

One does not need to be a government hating libertarian to dislike subsidies to both food and fuels. Because they hide the actual availability of the resources, subsidies provide the worst incentives and encourage the worst behavior of careless and wasteful consumption.

The True Industrialism preachers are fond of claiming the modern, decaying western system is not industrialization but financialization, but in hindsight, it is a Not a True Scotsman attempt at defending Industrialism from a flaw inherent to it.

I'm baffled to find out that the Club of Rome guys turned out to be, if not overpopulation deniers, overpopulation squeamishes.

Pretty good depiction of a fallacy surrounding the denial of physical limits to growth: to conclude that, if zero-sum behaviour derives from physical limits, then such limits must not exist.
