Oh, don’t get me wrong… I think its all absurd. Just mentioning Catholics don’t buy into this tripe anymore.
- Comment on US education 1 week ago:
Were you even aware that this was a mainstream teaching of a small sect of Christians before you saw this meme?
I dunno if we can call Evangelicals a small sect at this time. Especially not in the US. Catholicism is a “small sect” in the US, for the most part.
- Comment on US education 1 week ago:
They also have a ton of books saying that the universe was created in 7 days
That’s just not really true, for Catholics. Not for a few centuries at least.
- Comment on US education 1 week ago:
Most evangelicals think Catholics are devil worshippers, just like Muslims.
- Comment on US education 1 week ago:
I think its more than what you claimed… They are just objectively incorrect facts. Many people have felt electricity, we know where it comes from, what causes it, and how to control it, even.

It’s less than time and space switch in a singularity, and more that they are “undefined”.
Like dividing by zero.
- Comment on well? 2 weeks ago:
There’s also cyclic conformal universe theory, put forth by Penrose.
Where once you have an empty enough space… its mathematically indistinguishable from a singularity.
So, if its true, then yeah, we could be inside of a blackhole/singularity.
At this point, that doesn’t really matter.

Not all do. That’s an oak thing really. Pines, most stone fruits, etc, take a path of least resistance, unlike oaks which are more “I am going that way, and NOTHING will stop me!”

Hopefully, someone adds a touch or arsenic to these pills.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
I gave you facts and number.
The facts are it takes 1.5x powerplants to scrub the carbon from 1x powerplants, using CCS.
So, it’s just better to NOT use dirty electricity, and convert it to a renewable, like solar, wind, or hydro.
Also, my company has as objective to becomes neutral by 2030 and 20% carbon negative by 2050.
So, your company will be paying the full cost of the carbon produced by your company? Doubtful. Nobody pays full environment price at the pumps. Or, their electric bills. Or their nat gas bill.
Fossil fuels are subsidized.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
How are CCS carbon positive, when it requires more electricity to sequester, than it would to just not produce the carbon output, to begin with?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
Decomp still sequestered carbon.
Sure, burning them releases a portion back, but not most of it…
What do you think comprises ash?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
Lol, ok.
You need to read up a bit more… that is not how we got oil…
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
We already have solar powered carbon sequestration systems, that require almost no maintenance over a period of a couple of hundred of years of operational life…
Trees.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
Decomp still sequesters carbon… where do you think all the oil came from, to begin with?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
Decomp still sequesters most of the carbon into the soil, which next gen plants uptake some.
Not to mention, a single sq km of algae sequesters tons annually.
And not even mentioning the add on sequesters: New trees bring whole ecosystems, and promote savannah and meadow formation, which also sequesters carbon.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
How much carbon gets released building this technomarvel?
How long before it hits carbon neutral, if even carbon negative?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
Now imagine if instead of playing technowizard… your company spent that money on planting trees?
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 months ago:
I mean, we already have carbon sequestration machines that are even self replicating, and require minimal, if any maitenance…
Trees and algae.

No, they withdrew, one about a decade ago, and then re-applied.
Its not nearly as hard as you are making it out to be.

Where does the legal fiction called a “corporation” derived rights from, and existence?
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
You just described capitalism, with a fully privatized state. Much like the system in the US…
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
Yes, you can. I’ve welcomed 3 doctoral program folks back just this past semester.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
Our system promotes greed, in fact it operates purely on optimizing for greed.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
Corporations only exist because the state exists…
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 7 months ago:
Capitalism cannot exist without a state ensuring the ruling class keeps being able to exploit the working class.
Otherwise, who secures land claims? Or other private property from being taken by the working class?

“I dropped out to make money, and now I have money, and now I want to complete my PhD.”
Easy enough explanation.

Not many people who never served would know, tbh.
