    good explanation.

    i always figured people would have no problem, and decoupling focal plane with parallax would be an easy thing for a brain to do - after all, the same happens when doing one of those magic eye things.

    then i realised... hardly anyone can do those magic eye things.

    Singapore is a corner case. literally. it's dishonest to use it as a comparison with such different places.

    in fact.. isn't every country a bit different? damn. there goes my argument.

    i initially thought that about the parent post... but then i thought for a second:

    climate, environmentalism, etc is a first-world phenomenon.

    as a country industrializes it will increase it's standard of living (mostly).

    so if the end-game is zero carbon, then the world will get there eventually. but if countries that are already there are treating dirty business with kid gloves, the world will NEVER get there.

    question is how long will it take and how long have we got?

    liquid fuel is a broad category. if it's renewable and doesn't hit the atmosphere to the point that climate is affected (and doesn't poison everybody), why not do it?

    also, electric cars aren't going to solve plastics and whatnot and all those other things that rely on oil. we have to find solutions to all that as well.

    if only solving these problems could become a kind of manhattan project. that worked pretty well.

    how do you propose getting out of that hole?

    a government that accepts taxes while doing nothing is a government that is stealing from the people.

    funding R&D will either work, or it wont. fund enough things and one of them will work.

    do enough of nothing, and you'll still have nothing.

    i don't think a zero protein diet would be conducive to longer lifespans, somehow.

    you think GM plants are bad (well, i don't know if you do or not tbh - this is hyperbole after all), but GM humans would be required to eliminate protein.

    unless you just mean animal protein. that's more do-able. even the tough-to-synthesize stuff could be supplemented as our understanding of microflora increases - we could brew omega-3 fatty acids in a bucket like we would brew beer... yum. i like that idea. i love meat, but i'm not so attached to it, given how good a cook my wife is - i can go weeks and not even notice that i haven't had any meat, but vegan rhetoric makes me want to stab things just from the tiresome politics of it. i'd rather eat food, not bland ideology.
