Then why Star Wars is considered a dystopia and Star Trek is considered an Utopia?


Clearly he is not a socialist LOL

I disagree with almost all is written here, and not because I'm a socialist but because art and poetry and philosophy exist ...


> I disagree...because art and poetry and philosophy exist

Can you expand your point? I don't see how their existence leads to disagreeing with the author, and in fact I see the opposite.


Seems obvious: arts and philosophy are not of immediate value. They need "free" patronage.


it would be naive to assume that you would be paid to be an artist or poet in a socialism as opposed to a farmer


In socialism, you wouldn’t be paid. That’s the whole point.


Yea, we saw the bread lines.


So did we.


LOL practically since June...


Is it legal?


Who cares?


The guy you're responding to obviously cares. Being dismissive of his desire to do the right thing is kind of rude.


Right thing == ethical != legal


There is no clear or remotely clear timeline. There is no clear or remotely clear solution. So, there is no actionable.

We don't know enough.


That's not true. We suspect this will eventually happen if climate emissions aren't eventually stopped or reversed. So the action is the stop or reverse climate emissions.


There is one and only one solution: stop burning fossil fuels which dump CO₂ into the air.


You breathing CO2 out. Should we stop breathing? We dump CO2 in air to heat our living places to survive winter. Should we freeze to death?

I prefer to plant trees. And stop cutting them down in cities because of "leaves clogging the drains”.


The CO2 for the power you use (directly and indirectly) is much, much more than what you breathe out. And heat pumps can supply heating without CO2 emissions. Planting trees is good but it's only a net carbon sink on an infeasibly large scale and only if you also cut down and bury the trees periodically.


You do not know anything about my power use. Heat pump needs electric energy to work. Which is not cheap and also use CO2 to produce.


I don't need to know anything specific about your life for that to be true, which is why "what about breathing" is so ridiculous. And heat pumps even powered by fossil fuels emit less CO2, let alone the many renewable options that reduce the CO2 released by orders of magnitude.


Your whole life is about emitting CO2. Telling others what they should and shouldn't do becaus of this and how much is enough is absolutely ridiculous.


Probably not the best example... Without a credit card involvement the case is much much stronger.


In the anime is for display the "distance" of the "current world line" from the "original" timeline in a multipath universe.

A "divergence meter".

Yes, one of the best anime. The original, not the sequels.


So... Abolish all the EULAs?
