  • In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.

    So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.

    To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated





  • From the first link, that’s unexpectedly about last autumn:

    It makes us worried about our future. How could we not be scared?

    So very true, but the hypocrisy of the defendants is overwhelming:

    The government in Greece – a country which has just experienced a deadly summer of heat, fire and storms – said in its response: “The effects of climate change as recorded so far do not seem to directly affect human life or human health.”

    Edit: it was a bit hard to find the outcome of Portuguese claimants’ case, but it appears to be rejected:

    The European Court of Human Rights rejected two other, similar cases on procedural grounds — a high-profile one brought by Portuguese young people and another by a French mayor that sought to force governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
