We need to check what calendar is fElon on… He keeps saying “next year” for shit that doesn’t happen… Maybe he is from the future!

Lol

I’m sure this time, unlike the prior times in the last 5000 years, slaughter will bring lasting peace

/S

It’s a well documented sociological phenomena… maybe read a book before raging

I’m actually quite older… And as you get older you’ll see how the masses do not act as their individual parts

Again you are missing the point.

I know many great individuals, it’s the masses I fear

You won’t know the masses by knowing a few people. You learn by studying history and looking at statistics

wtf? by what standard?

if the climate change inaction (or worse, sabotage) did not convince you, I am certain the COVID behaviour should have

Humans frequently band together during disaster

If they are directly affected sure… otherwise people may throw some money (which is usually promptly embezzled) and move on

humans care for their young and old

Their own young, sure let’s say that is the common majority. Their own old? a lot more questionable. Other people’s LOL… can’t tell you how many people complain about their taxes feeding other people’s children. But this is not an argument against what I claimed… what I said was basically echoing what Tommy Lee Jones beautifully said in MIB, in a nutshell: a human (as an individual) can be AMAZING, but humans (as a herd) tend to default to he lowest common denominator and that sucks!

humans don’t typically engage in cannibalism of the weak

what do you think capitalism is?

humans rarely fight to the death or even serious injury

Ok, now you are joking… no matter how old you are, I know with 100% accuracy that you have never lived in a world where, somewhere, there was a military conflict and people were being slaughtered… I know because we have not had such a time since 1816 (and that may just have been an absence of records)

Have we? Or do we just call it something else and make sure not to look?

All these claims are simply taking a look at a different angle.

It’s like saying “cars pollute” and you reply with “but have you seen the beautiful colours they come in and how much faster than mules they are”

You are not wrong but neither are the people claiming humans are, as a herd, fairly dumb and incredibly selfish

The title reads: “we can solve the climate crisis, but we won’t”

So translating Musk to reality, they probably have 2 robotic arms working of a pre programmed algorithm that make them go back and forward

There’s nothing inherent to running a business that implies cannibalizing one’s own brand reputation for short term profits

True but only for a snapshot in time. When the expectation of the environment is unlimited growth and profit above all else, the quick cash out in lieu of long term gains is inevitable sooner or later

You can find countless examples of businesses where the brand’s reputation for quality, reliability, and safety are considered sacred and any employee who publicly damages that reputation is ostracized. Japanese companies pretty commonly have these cultures, for example.

Oh outside of the USA yes, I can see that… In the USA, I think I would count such examples with 1 hand (talking about large companies and corporations, not Mom and Pop shops of course)

Translation: power hungry man sees a chance to gain power and disregards the cost

When you run an engineering company as a business, you wind up with no business at all

2008, the global financial crash, the subsequent shift of trillions of all the currencies towards the already-rich, then Covid hammering the final nail in the coffin of proving that governments care about the people only inasmuch as they provide value.

I get the frustration, but where is the evidence the far right would care an iota more about people? Specially during covid almost every far right government did worse, in terms of actual dead people, than any left one

They want to prove to themselves that their vote still matters.

Voting ultra right because of this is like trying to prove life is worth living by eating a bullet

Donna??

Ok, I think I get your point now!

Cheers!

I mean, they put lights on with colours at night… And there is a whole boulevard built around them so you can see them better

Would you call that orchestrated?

How is it orchestrated? What you see is what nature did. The water can be controlled somewhat because of engineering but it doesn’t change the features of the fall as nature made it

I’m not arguing against you, just not getting your perspective (which I’m just trying to understand)

I don’t get why would that be disappointing?
