What you're talking about is completely orthogonal to the article, and the reality at play here:

1. Some emotional issues have physical manifestations (i.e. anxiety symptoms). But some physical manifestation have no root in mental behaviour (i.e. cancer).

2. Like we often see in software engineering, if you turn a metric into a target, it stops being useful. GPs have a KPI tracking the number of people they see in a given timeframe, thus are more likely to dismiss psychological thing because they're not easily visible and need a long time to pin down. One of the reason of the global mental health crisis, and why staff cuts make this even worse.

It is not a school of thought. It's a dysfunctional medical system. The sad reality is that medical doctors, that includes GPs and most psychiatrists, are inadequate to dealing with psychological issues that cannot be easily fixed, masked or numbed with a pill. Even a quack might be more helpful, at least they'll try to keep you around as long as possible instead of dismissing you with a script and a leaflet on meditation.

Exactly. How a CIA faction used Cuban exiles to assassinate him is far less interesting than why.
I think you would make great strides in thinking about this if you differentiated between feelings and emotions, one being pretty primitive, bodily inner states and the other outward directed, complex scripts that’s are deeply social, learned and performed and shared ways to communicate feelings (take all the different ways for example “anger”, “mourning” or “lust” are performed with totally different modes of articulation and performance between cultures, times and locations. That is: mourning is not a feeling, it’s a complex, socially learned (socialized) script that is performed in a socially expected way, that is rooted in feelings but solved a communicative, social task.

(I know nothing about this topic expect for one book about the socialization of emotions that I read a million years ago).

I think the consensus is that the right is more important. But it’s not unanimous.

So lots of people do agree on this.

I think it’s important that people debate this constructively, and if the ideas of the country change then work on a constitutional amendment. This is hard, so it seems more common for people to bray.

I abhor the the anger sensation in the body. I am generally in a good relaxed mood and rarely get angry but it does happen when pushed too far. Last time it happened I was observing the sensation and my reaction to the trigger without being able to make it stop.

Sure, and a “bit” back the first photosynthesis producing oxygen wiped out almost everything on the land, as O2 is just such a reactive gas.

As I wrote, life is not an intelligent design, it has no way of knowing better and thinking of the future: that leftover banana will rot as fast as it can and afterwords leave everything dead in its wake. It just so happened that some form of equilibrium is always met and that Earth has many kind of buffers to change. But it can’t outcompete us in burning coal, we are the new microorganism that almost killed everything by inventing photosynthesis.

We have orcas teaching their families hunting tricks and bears spreading knowledge about how to open bear-resistant food containers. Maybe we’re only like 1.5X as smart as a bear, but the day-to-day maintenance requires 1X bear intelligence, so they don’t have left over brain-cycles to dream up kick off the feedback loop.

Or maybe there are animals out there that are just as smart, but their environment was not conducive to storing knowledge long term.

> I know how averse to building in house tech teams they can be

Depends on the leadership really. Non-technical people, high up the food chain, trying to make technical decisions are easy pickings for commercial, proprietary software sale people. The promise is always that the commercial vendor will take care of everything and the public sector executive need not worry about a thing. Other times you get technical leadership that can generally see through the bullshit.
There's not really any better option though. Once you start setting environment variables, customising tagging, adding file prerequisites, handling building from a different directory (monorepo requiring access to shared resources), you need some sort of wrapper, with options, argparsinc and some rudimentary dependency checking. Make is a super low barrier to entry solution that with a small workaround (phony targets) gives you all of the above.
> bury it in deep basalt where it will turn into limestone

CO2 + Basalt !== Limestone

Limestone is the fossilized remains of sea creatures.

Wikipedia says:

"Calcium released by basalts binds CO2 from the atmosphere forming CaCO3 acting thus as a CO2 trap."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt#Geochemistry

CaCO3 is indeed the principal component of limestone, but not all Calcium Carbonate is limestone. I have no idea whether the process of basalt binding CO2 is efficient; WP doesn't detail the process. Nor does TFA; and I'm not surprised, because Oxy's goals are completely orthogonal to the production of CaCO3.
The opposite effect I expect should be less for heating, since the heat is constantly leaking out of buildings at some rate back into the environment (insulation, double glazing etc. reduces this but all the added heat eventually leaks out), and additional energy is being put in which turns into heat too (e.g. COP 4 means 1 unit heat from electricity and 3 units shifted from the outside environment).

So whether there is temporary localised cooling depends on the quality of the insulation but overall and over time there is no cooling due to the additional input.
thinking before shooting was the norm before digital. that's why we had great photohraphers.
There's one other minor factor that helps even if the solar panel did nothing:

By making the sun hit at a layer above the ceiling (and assuming you have proper air circulation below), your attic area will heat less, hence your house will get less hot.

(This is similar to the effect you get by staying under a tree shadow)

As per the article, yes, if everybody had air conditioners city wide that would increase the city temperature. But that would require everyone to blast it at the same time

I don't think these are correct assumptions. Sixty years is a long time, and the world has changed a lot. The Soviet Union is a shell of its former self (hence the current Ukraine conflict), Fidel Castro is dead, etc.

> if it was the Israelis

IMO this is one of the dumber and least plausible of the conspiracy theories.

What are we even to conclude from this, though? Of course Israel still exists, but what exactly are you trying to imply about the current situation? Netanyahu, by the way, was 14 years old in 1963 and was actually living in Pennsylvania, US at the time.

We're technically still in an ice age [1]. How far does this need to go to reach the end of that ice age [2]?

The Cretaceous period was over ten degrees warmer than our current period [3,4,5]. It supported a lot (though much different) biodiversity. How long would it take us to push into these temperature ranges? And how long to exceed them?

How much species diversity will we lose at each half degree increment from this point forward? Will we see some species better equipped (increased as opposed to decreased fitness) by temperature increases? Will we see any quick evolution to support climage changes?

When will temperatures be incompatible with ranges necessary to sustain society? When will they be incompatible with human life? And all terrestrial and aquatic animal life? Will runaway heating (clatrate gun [6], etc.) be capable of achieving any of these?

I never said to do nothing. I just don’t see value in worrying about things out of our control. I do my best to keep my family’s footprint low (and already live on a country with comparatively low footprint). But most of this whole thing is at best in the hands of corrupt politicians and at worst completely rudderless.
You don't need research. It's common sense. You're human so it's easy to figure out. It's possible that our modern woke culture makes this harder analyze because it's very one sided in terms of gender. It's completely obvious why diamonds are coveted, but you'll still see a lot of attempts by to rationalize a different reason. What I'm about to describe is something that is completely obvious to everyone and something you likely already know but find hard to articulate:

Desire for diamonds is centered around women. It's part of human mating rituals.

A lot of women demand sacrifice or some sort of proof that the man loves her and is willing to sacrifice resources to take care of her. Romance is 100 percent what this is. It's always a man putting in a romantic gesture and a woman making a practical decision based on that gesture(s). Society often gets these roles reversed but in actuality: men are the romantic sex, women are the practical sex. I like to note here that a woman is not consciously thinking this is a practical choice, but rather her instincts drive her in this direction as much as a man's instincts drive him to make irrational tributes to her.

One form of this sacrifice comes in the form of material jewelery. First the sacrifice needs to be a literal "sacrifice" or basically useless in terms of utility. Second it needs to be "showable" meaning the woman can use the thing and "show" other people that a man sacrificed a huge amount of money just for her.

Diamonds fulfill the above request more than anything else. If a woman has a house it's not clear whether the house was a sacrifice just for her or for him as well, but if she has a diamond it is 100 percent clear it was for her and nothing else. This is why the zero utility aspect is important. It is the ultimate way to communicate the nature of the "sacrifice". It is not a coincidence why a bouquet flowers also fills this role of "tribute". Cut Flowers are both useless and ephemeral communicating the act of "sacrifice" unequivocally.

So that's where it comes from. Human mating rituals. Diamonds are pleasing to the eye but there plenty of cheap forms of gemstones that are pleasing to the eye too and you don't see women coveting that stuff. The rarity and mostly zero utility nature of a diamond ring makes it an object ideal for tribute.

It is a shame, but you can't deny human nature. Women want tribute from men and they want to put that tribute on display to show off their status. Men will as a result fight tooth and nail for the status and the ability to provide a high value woman with that tribute. Entire businesses will spawn and form around this human behavioral quirk and one of these industries is the diamond industry.

That's the way the world works. Let me be clear though. If diamonds didn't exist... something else would fill this role of tribute. There will be an entire industry spawned around some other useless thing and women will highly covet that thing as tribute. It's not purely the fault of the diamond industry as many people seem to think. The diamond industry is simply filling a niche that if they didn't fill, would've been filled by something else.
Maybe massively subsidizing cars that need insane amounts of resource extraction isn't the best solution here, and there are other ways to deal with this.

> Despite being endlessly fawned over by an army of professionals

Yes, but these "professionals" consider everything in the vacuum of whatever software they're working on. Streamlined, cross-program UX is not just not considered, but actively discouraged. Everything needs to be its own island.

This is why as things progress I move more and more things into Emacs, with only the browser and a few websites remaining outside of it at this point. In Emacs you can't isolate your application to the point where I somehow have to learn your paradigm.
I imagine they do most of the things we do today. They play games of chance. They have feasts.

There's a lot of stuff that's attributed to "ritual" and "religion", but I believe a lot of that is simply entertainment. Aristotle wrote in Poetics of Greek epics being unnecessary spectacle, which makes The Odyssey sound like The Avengers of the era. 3000 years from now, people will talk of Batman worship. The animal headed deities of the ancient era could just be a furry thing.

Also take note that Ancient Greece and Egypt lasted for a very long time. By Cleopatra's time, the Pyramid of Giza had been around for over 2000 years. It could well be that they did reenactments back then too.
There was a version of streptococcus mutans developed that didn’t produce tons of lactic acid and would have pretty much ended tooth decay back in 2000. Iirc, it was built to outcompete the regular bacteria too. As far as I can tell there’s been no progress in commercializing this-—I assume because of the cost and complexity of FDA approval.

The tech is somewhat sensible when you slap it at end of the production chain, before CO2 gets to the atmosphere, but that's about it. Even if it "works" it would still require humongous amount of energy wasted to do it, just because it's separating tiny amount of CO2 per litre of air
