No, fire behaves differently as smaller scales, different fluid dynamics. Everything will appear MUCH more viscose.

Meth users them selves to me have a smell once they enter the later stages.
It’s this weird rotting smell. It’s different then like not just having showered for months in end or being a tabacoo smoker.
It’s like this deep cat piss decay smell.

There’s definitely location on earth where they will get generate again. Plus climate change only really means the extinction of all human life as we know it. Everything else will carry on, it’s not the first large level extinction event.
The conditions that created it are likely to arise again. Most oil deposits are actually from innumerable numbers of planktonic life that built up on the ocean floor. Coal is from plant matter though.
Point is its generally easier to redirect then reprogram people, with enough nudges they’ll start to see they are being lied to, or at least will know not to bother you with that specific subject anymore

It will! Just not within human life spans that’s my answer usually. Alot of their thoughts are grounded in something real. Its easier then telling them they are flat out wrong usually.

Gas is a cheat code to decades of stored solar energy. It won’t be cheap for ever. Once you mine up all that shit it’s gone.
Look at WV and their coal. Use to have 12 ft coal seams. Now all that’s left are hard to reach low quality 1-2ft seams. At some point it’s not even worth the energy to extract.

Yeah exactly I’m not sure if this person has ever looked at a map before but we use alot of land not just for habitation, even if we halved the size of every farm its just not it
- Comment on We produce more resources than we could ever consume in the least sustainable ways possible. 1 month ago:
Over population is a problem just because we occupy 10% of the land doesn’t mean we should double it to 20%? Do you know how much of the earths biosphere that would continue to chew into? Even if we farm more efficiently it doesn’t mean there should be more of us shitting around

Replace everything is a file with “everything is a byte stream with a file handle” and your there.
There is A LOT of Unix that doesn’t stick to the convention of “everything is a text file” and for good reason.

- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 months ago:
That all works until “couch pisser” is “murderer” or those “entrepreneur” types or someone who wants to be a “king”. Or is a “manipulator”
Then you have several thousand people who like the idea of having a “king” and now you have a hierarchy.
Irrational people are more numerous then you think.
And a group that does decided a member isn’t welcome anymore is a hierarchy. It doesn’t require you to be exploiting the person at the bottom. I’ll be it a fairly flat one but hey.
My example is extremely simple and that’s on purpose. my point is you will never be able to get enough people to form little in groups where they all work together because without incentive people will just do whatever the hell they want and that small group of people can disproportionately affect the larger whole even if they are playing by your rules.
Anarchism works in small groups. But it falls apart as you scale up, by nature of the limited resources of our world some order must be kept or things will slide into chaos. Some amorphous blob of a group isn’t going to be able to do that.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 months ago:
So yes. You and your flat mates have now formed a hierarchy lol you and your flat mates on the top. Couch pisser on the bottom. It’s an obtuse example but I think it reflects reality.
Your example of “I want to deport every brown person” is an perfect example of a real life couch pisser lol.
People will decide to enact their will onto others based on their personal morals. If enough people come together with the same morals they will as a group decide to form a hierarchy.
It’s like if you dispersed a bunch of dust into space evenly. It’ll start to clump eventually.
Any system that effectively minimize the ability for one will to destabilize the group as a whole is probably best.
Anarchism just isn’t that. Its like the libertarian version of leftist policy.
Structure must exist because not everyone’s wants to play fairly and not everyone needs to be worrying about that.

What if one your flat mates decided to start pissing on the couch instead of the toilet lol are you going to do
- Call the police
- Sue him
- Kick him out with the rest of your flat mates
- Talk to him and hope he stops
- Leave yourself
- Call a mental health clinic
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 3 months ago:
"Anarchy is a form of society without rulers. As a type of stateless society, it is commonly contrasted with states, which are polities that claim a monopoly on violence over a permanent territory. Beyond a lack of government, it can more precisely refer to societies that lack any form of authority or hierarchy. While viewed positively by anarchists, the primary advocates of anarchy, it is viewed negatively by advocates of statism, who see it in terms of social disorder. "
I’m going to be honest, and maybe it’s a difference in personal experience. But I can’t even count my fingers and toes the amount of people I personally know who would immediately take advantage of that situation.
Anarchism relies on everyone playing by the rules. We already live in a state with a monopoly on violence and we still can’t get everyone to play by the rules .
My main argument against anarchy as a large scale societal system is that nearly immediately bands and kingdoms would begin to form.
Humans existed in the natural order for many millions of years before modern society. Even then they adopted district forms of hierarchy again and again. It won’t take long before someone tries to make themselves a king and fuck over everyone else.
I want to be clear though I believe the ideal form of government is not even close to any of the gov we have around today. So I don’t want to be seen as arguing for the bullshit we are currently doing lol.
