Depending on if you are a malthusian eugenicist or a normal person, this is either a blessing or a curse. Fluoride is basically non-consensual male birth control.
Go there and clean it up? Heck, I'd be willing to invest in a consortium to mine the place and create a structural plastic factory for seasteading homes!
Correct, except for one thing. I'm pretty sure that Islam is already in the nuclear club, if not as an official member, then certainly as a we-sent-our-kids-to-first-world-nations-to-learn-high-school-physics member.
I agree on everything other than Peer Review. Peer Review can, and does, create bubbles of confirmation bias in which we see things like "Gender Studies" arise, in which nobody who is not first deemed a "Peer" is allowed to give evidence.
Adversarial Review is just as important to science as Peer Review for this reason.
No they don't. Sometimes, the post-Truth is resilient enough to totally destroy the civilization- and it can be hundreds, sometimes thousands, of years before another civilization arises to take its place.
I was agreeing with the original post- it is possible to turn lead into gold- but adding the commentary that transgender people take the gold they were given in their natural gender, and on purpose turn it into lead- and badly disguised lead at that.
And yes- in the long run, your worth is based on what your grandchildren do, not what you do.
It's far easier to turn gold into lead, which oddly enough, circles back to the original topic of transgender, since such sexually confused people who believe that gender is only mental, are worth about as much as lead in comparison to gold when it comes to the propagation of a heteronormative species.
On the "there is no difference between the Kremlin and the New York Stock Exchange" scale, I certainly see a lot of socialism in the way Obama gave insurance companies a lot of captive business in 2014.
If China did nothing, there's not much the rest of the world CAN do, other than adapt. In fact, I remain unconvinced that there is anything we can do to stop climate change from happening now.
In Oregon when I was growing up we never saw 90F before the end of July. Now we're seeing it in May. I'm thinking about looking into frost tolerant avocados, lemons, and banana...
Leading from Manufacturing! Face it, if India and China both commit to reducing energy consumption in the products they make, that will be huge for climate change- because everything we use is made there.
Once again, an Elite head-in-the-clouds completely disconnected economist makes an economic prediction that will not come true.
The rich will do this. The used market- which we still have 50 year old cars in the pipeline- will continue to have internal combustion engines for the next 30 years.
It isn't the trailer. It's the C-note you spend on popcorn and tickets that has turned a night out at the movies into a significant investment with little hope of it being worth it.

Notice what *all three* have in common- selfishness.
Which is also the real reason behind water fluoridation. Cut back on that surplus population so you can grab more stuff.
And yes, it did (been studied over and over and over and over):

And that's just the top 4 in a google search....
Reproduce as normal would be to have 10 kids per family. That was the norm before fluoridation, anyway.
Because there are much better languages than Swift for non iOS platforms.

Take that plastic and build a City!

What makes you think the "people with limited training" aren't the barbarians?

To a homonormative species, sexuality is the gift that brings forth children. Is that not more precious than Gold?
I'd say you have a rather short term point of view.
Crony capitalism, communism, there's no real difference.
And the only difference between a libertarian and a crony capitalist is having enough money to hire a lobbyist.

Only insane people disconnected from reality think so. Which basically describes all of western civilization at this point.
Turning Gold into Lead indeed.

At the rate the liberals are going, Pence will be running as incumbent after the impeachment.
What makes you think "US ingenuity can make it better" wasn't "wallow in our own filth"? Sure looked like that to me.

Who the hell needs a separate music player? Music Player is a simple app on just about any portable device from a smart watch to a laptop.

" it isn't easy to uproot your family, let alone twice. It is stressful and disturbing."
And it is almost always an error that isn't worth the compensation.
That's what we get for electing people over the age of 60.
