I work for a company making billions on renewable energy and CO2 reduction doctrine,
yet my stance, after doing a lot of research, is still kinda agnostic.

A single time frame of what any such company does, May look green.

If you step back and looked at the whole system, it's STILL the same fossil fuel machine.


Solar Power:

Steel -OIL/GAS/COAL
Aluminum -OIL/GAS/COAL
Glass -OIL/GAS/COAL
Silicon -OIL/GAS/COAL
Plastics -OIL/GAS/COAL

Fossil energy is NOT Substitute-able with current technology.

We would need a 100x energy revolution to do all this stuff with Electricity instead of OIL/GAS/COAL.

Rats understand eating.

But if you put them in a box, build a system where they have unlimited food, and that food no longer impact their survival.

Their relationship with food will change, and become destructive.

Humans have created the food culture where we eat ourselves TO DEATH.

You step back, and you see, oh yes, behavioral-sink, exactly as written, just like the rats.


In the energy space,

The closest thing we have to renewable energy is POTATOES.

Eschew the potato, the civilization collapses.

Keyboards / Re: Three keys dead, how to fix?

the best solution is to bridge the broken connection using a jumper wire (hand-wiring). Since your switches pass continuity but the PCB holes do not, a trace or diode in the keyboard matrix is broken.

I’ve been looking forward to this being available, but have you considered having alternate Mac “Opt” and “CMD” keys? I mentioned that in an interest check weeks ago but the renders still don’t show those keys as alternates.

I dunno, 15 kilos is a bit on the light side considering that I kill zombie elephants for a living. Can I get it with custom tungsten weights?

Don't be worried; we have a special FULL COPPER edition, which is around 30 kilos. I hope it can at least help you get the first hit in on a zombie elephant. :cool:

Using the term "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming" is a prickly subject for me....

If you use "Global Warming" they might point out that it is supposed to get warmer as we are in a warming period of an ice-age,
and the dispute is wherever it gets warm faster than it's supposed to be. And the "supposed to be" is patially guesstimation.

If you use "Climate Change" they might point out that earth's climate is changing for billions of years,
and the dispute is wherever the current change is natural (like in the past) or man-made.

The whole topic is prickly, because of financial incentives for deception on both sides...

I work for a company making billions on renewable energy and CO2 reduction doctrine,
yet my stance, after doing a lot of research, is still kinda agnostic.

But I agree with tp4...
The "have-and-want-to-have" cycle (as described by i.e. Erich Fromm) leading to overconsumption, IS
a big problem of our times, no matter the stance on climate-change, or political views, or anything.

It's one of the drives that is useful in a natural environment where scarcity is commonplace.
But in a world of (virtual) abundance, it leads to self-destruction, misery, and decline,
same as excess following other drives (gluttony/obesity, lust/porn-addiction, etc.).

Just my 2 Cents

Tp4,  what's going to happen, is there such a thing as a better system?

No,  there is no better system.

Every single system ultimately MIRROR each other, BECAUSE,  the CONSTRAINTS that each system face is THE SAME.


And so, if progress is defined narrowly, (More MOney = More FUEL BURN),  then they must behave and propagate using identical pathways.

Pathways are chosen by resources efficiency.


It has nothing to do with the process,  it has everything to do with the DEFINED GOALS.
