  1. Re:How about people ? on Cats and Dogs Contribute Significantly To Climate Change, Says UCLA Study (patch.com) · · Score: 1

    You are missing the point about consumerism/materialism. Economic growth isn't good for anyone but those who control the economy. Also, growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell.

    Unfortunately not everyone is capable of learning enough to appreciate a western-style education. (And before anyone screams "racist", isn't it also just "one race, the human race"?)

    I don't see the connection between materialism/consmerism and birthrates the way you propose. This is instead biological and cultural.


    Taking way this aid money and leave them to themselves (after all, they are sovereign countries and should be able to take care of themselves unless someone from the outside wants to meddle in their affairs, which coincidentally is how most wars start and how refugees are created), is a good start. They need independence, otherwise they'll just remain welfare nations, which is terrible. I hope you don't want to imply that these nations shall forever be recepients of foreign aid, because that would imply that you think they cannot take care of themselves (or are a meddler in their affairs).

    I grew up in Africa and I've seen firsthand what free food from the sky does to a nation. You know how it goes with teaching someone to do something vs giving them something.

    Too much.

    That's why we need a one child policy for countries with the highest birthrates like most non-western countries with the exception of Japan and Corea. We have to maintain a sustainable population since we are so good at eliminating our predators (viruses and other tiny things), otherwise we will only end up eliminating life for good.

    Mars isn't a model future look for our planet, but it sure seems there is a great effort in place to make it become like that.

    I was fascinated by Enron and read all about its downfall. I'm sure this history is ripe for repetition at least a few thousand times over.

    I use it to make simple mock-ups of ideas to better explain what I am thinking. It's worked when I use it to show to the people I work with in the Netherlands for the robotics stuff or when my co-worker needs a bit more detail. I use it more often than I would have expected recently.

    I've only used the Pythons for slite scripting in Blender 3D, but the syntax feels too subtly error-prone for me to feel comfortable to deal with. At least the C-langwitches and Java/Script are easier to scan in that regard.
