Social Justice Warriors - Now With Less Feminism Sperging

[Capsaicin Addict]

IMO a big problem is large chunks of the population are scientifically illiterate and their idea of "science" comes from sci-fi stories. Not even hard sci-fi, I'm talking soft sci-fi and even straight-up "Science-Fantasy" stuff like Star Wars. They see science as this linear progression where once you hit a special spot, magic powers are on the other end.

It becomes nearly impossible to get through to them at that point as they'll just write you off as a cliche "that'll never work" guy from said sci-fi when you try to explain science is a broad descriptor of fields examining the mechanics of our universe and not reshaping reality through sheer willpower.

MovieBob's thread is a decent example as he gets bent out of shape where someone points out that fully-automated luxury space communism doesn't work even theoretically and then suggests the issue can be solved with more money tossed at "science", never his ideas having no basis in reality. "We can make it real" after all.

Putting on my Devil's Advocate cap here for a moment, history is littered with quotes and examples of people stating 'Oh, this will never work' -- except it did. So I tend to not write off ideas outright.

However, a lot of these ideas are what are called 'blue sky' -- nice to think about, but no one is seriously pursuing them because the current technology won't allow us to explore these ideas. It's like 'what would you do if you won the Powerball?' -- we like to dream, but nobody's building their retirement plans around it (at least, I hope you people aren't...).

A good example is 'green' energy. Now, I think solar and wind are good for supplementing an existing power grid, but they are simply not viable for uninterrupted power at this time. Battery technology needs a quantum leap forward for starters, and then you have the simple fact that the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow.

But because 'it's the FUTURE!', people keep blathering on about how we need more solar and wind and less coal and oil, despite the shortcomings apparent.

Oh, I could go on about this shit...

Not everyone who warns about a problem with the planet is Jor-El. Some are just fuckin' idiots.

Not everyone who learns how to program is "jacking in to the Matrix". In fact, 99% of computer coding is boring as shit to anyone who doesn't get paid to do it.

Not every advancement in AI is Skynet. Have you noticed Siri is still a retard?

i've come to realize that every argument that SJWs use to belittle men basically assume gays don't exist
they think every man who isn't a soyboy is some buff guy who goes to gym, swills beer, says bro, talks about fucking chicks, watching football, only liking the colors black and blue, plays [insert FPS here] while calling everyone 'fags', and eating steak.
i'd like to point out the people like chris-chan and andrew dobson think this too
they literally think there are no men who like other men, who like bright colors, who are skinny, who play games other than whatever new shooty game is out now, etc. etc.

this is so r.etarded i have no words for it

Yes, we do know that SJWs are just female incels.

That's because gay men are clearly just eggs waiting to turn into beautiful transwomen.

MovieBob's superior future where everyone is morbidly obese, lives in someone else's basement (who owns these basements in his Superior Future we do not know), and watches nothing but Marvel capeshit.

I've found these kinds of people to be vehemently opposed to the economic argument: that just because it's possible, and desirable doesn't mean it's feasible because if it can't make an economic profit, it's going to be left on the workbench. The reason why we keep using petroleum and coal is because they're cheaper than the alternatives.

You can try and guilt trip your average person, brow-beat them, claim the ecopocalypse is nigh, (and it's all their fault) but, until the bill for their electrical usage can be made as cheap or cheaper through "Green" energy options than on current conventional fossil fuels, they aren't going to change, they CAN'T because they can't afford it, as France is learning to her detriment right now..... you can't force people to live green because it's a money-losing proposition right now.

Economics are a THING, and a lot of the starry-eyed "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" people have simply adopted "Science" as their religion, as a spirituality that can make things happen if you just believe in them, like how SJWs have adopted gender fluidity nonsense. And it's not even "real" science, it's indeed Hollywood science where a super-smart enclave of enlightened geniuses discover everything if just left alone and not barred by evil forces holding us back...... I had a roommate in college who beleived that Star Trek food replicators were only 10 years or so away at the most, and household fusion power, and alien first contact, and when none of those things came true, he was legitimately ANGRY at the world for denying him the prize "science" promised.....

It SOUNDS so good, who cares about those inconvenient ways it fails to work in practice.


Ironically, nuclear power is feasable and economical, but they shout it down because it was denied entry to the "Green" club for scaremongering reasons, though more people die in fires from pipeline explosions or mining accidents every year I'll bet than the last 30 in the nuclear field.....

sad thing is people think that
anything less than "LETS BENCH PRESS IN MY GARAGE AND LISTEN TO SOME FOOTBALL WHILE WE TALK ABOUT FUCKING PUSSIES" well end up with people flocking around you going "uwu UR A TRANNY NOW CUT YOUR NUTS OFF"
any boy nowadays that doesn't love the color blue is being pushed by their teacher to get their dicks ripped off before they turn 10.
so many people are fucked

also if you're a gay guy and you support the far left, you're just as stupid as them.

nuclear power is most definitely the way to go
but
i wouldn't trust most american companies or the american government to run a nuclear power plant

 

[ChurchOfGodBear]

Nuclear energy is a classic example of one area where the environmentalists picked the wrong horse early on, and won't change their mind no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented.

And yet, they can't fathom why people would be skeptical over their claims on climate change.

If we really want to phase out fossil fuels in any kind of feasible time frame, as opposed to 100+ years out, it's going to require nuclear. These anti-science nuts won't even consider it, though, because REEEEEE nuclear. Even though it's as carbon neutral as it's possible to get. (There's still some carbon footprint from having to mine it, transport it, and dispose of the waste, but compared to anything else it's a huge reduction in carbon footprint.)

Nuclear energy is a classic example of one area where the environmentalists picked the wrong horse early on, and won't change their mind no matter how much evidence to the contrary is presented.

One of the most infuriating examples is Al Gore in his movie cited a United Nations report and had some pie chart listing various alternatives to fossil fuel. The biggest chunk in the original was nuclear, but Al Gore edited that out entirely. This wasn't the only time he deliberately pretended nuclear power doesn't exist.

Do these science worshiping tards realize that Star Trek uses nuclear? If that's what needs to be pushed to get nuclear accepted then I'm all for it.

Not only that, but the ability for the average consumer, even in bulk, to affect the environment by living green is negligible. The real change will come from corporations, and funnily enough most of them would rather make a profit than worry about the planet.

I remember reading something that, and I'm probably getting a couple of the details wrong about the brand and the alteration, but someone like Kellogg's decided to reduce the size of their cereal boxes by a couple of inches. Now, the boxes are bigger than they need to be because it's all advertising space, but by just cutting out a small amount of that space, they could fit more into transport trucks, and doing so reduced their air pollution contribution by 500 tons a day.

Corporations and the government push it as a personal responsibility because it's much easier to tell the average person to change their ways than it is to get the people in the position to make real, substantial improvements to do so at the cost of their money.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

The "climate change" scam becomes more clear when you realize it's not about the environment but about power. There's absolutely nothing me as an individual can do to effectively combat "climate change", and as said above, it's up to governments and corporations. If the United States government wanted to combat climate change, they wouldn't push for military action in the Middle East, they wouldn't police the oceans with many fuck tons of warships, they wouldn't have military bases across Europe. Countries could deregulate nuclear power, which is much cleaner and more effective than any other power source, and with more research could bring us to planets from Mars to beyond.

But it's not about "saving the Earth", that's just the feel-good cover story used to sell authoritarianism to the dumb masses.

So he saw the spaceship from WALL-E as an aspirational goal for society?

If the U.S. Navy was in charge of it, I don’t see it going too badly. They’ve never had a nuclear accident in the, what 60? years they’ve had nuclear power.

The civilian side needs the obsessive craziness of a Rickover to push nuclear power.
