I’ve said it for decades at this point, but we really need to add philosophy to our standard curriculum;

YES!!! I’ve been saying it too! I’d leave out metaphysics other than an introduction to what it is with an example or two. We are seriously lacking in epistemology. I would focus it mainly on epistemology and ethics though.

He is being too nice. He needs to get a lawyer and sue that shitty company for harassment and whatever else.

ETA: The US isn’t overly litigious. We are under litigious if anything.

There aren’t good replacements for fossil fuels for military applications. The same thing with aviation. This means we need to phase out everything that has suitable replacements ASAP to give us time to figure out these more difficult uses.

Some militaries say publishing details of their oil and gas consumption could give adversaries insight into their operations.

This is why. Knowing supply requirements helps enemies plan their operations.

At least the US Navy has several nuclear powered vessels and the US DoD acknowledge that climate change is a real problem.

But we couldn’t vote for Kamala because Gaza (Trump is worse), we didn’t get a choice in the primary (With an Incumbent president primaries are a mere formality), prices are too high (inflation had slowed and deflation makes inflation like a trip to Vegas/Disney/Tropica Island/whatever, and a gazillion other excuses. I can forgive someone for being misled for various legit excuses, but those that are in the know or propagated the manipulation, fuck you.

must be a psyop agent from the “enemy”.

You might be.

I’m pointing out the government is shit

Nobody is claiming it doesn’t have problems. If you haven’t been paying attention, there are things that non-MAGA wants to change about it.

Our government is the best in the world

As we constantly complain about citizens United, electoral college, first past the post elections, car dependant infrastructure, and the list goes on.

Or a non-US psyop agent, or a GOP supporter

For my fellow Americans, if you haven’t already voted, get off your ass and vote.

So you are advocating not voting or voting red? Voting absolutely makes a difference at the local level where zoning laws affect car dependency or lack thereof.

What’s your plan?

Considering how many folks here in the US vote based on economics, the choice is obvious in Florida. No government policy will make any kind of property insurance affordable in Florida with how much global warming is kicking their ass. One party will at least pay lip service to to doing something. The other has denied it exists or is a problem.

Part of the problem with increasing fuel prices is the US is super car dependant. I agree, higher prices would drive demand down, but we also need to start building up non car transportion and start updating zoning laws yesterday. I don’t know how anyone else in the US thinks driving all the time is desirable or convenient. It’s $$$$, traffic sucks, it’s dangerous and scary, and people need to get around in states where they shouldn’t be driving. It’s insanity.
