denial is a perfectly reasonable response because an individual average hooman CANNOT see effects of climate change locally since local volatility

it’s odd how viciously climate change deniers are attacked when questioning the narrative the violence is oddly... cultlike

remember that that girl who said “math is fake” and everyone jumped to her defense offering intuitive explanations. why doesn’t that happen for climate change deniers?
Show this thread -
one is bc climate change is complex. far more complex than crypto doge stock market etc.. so intuitive explanations cannot be provided. only ANGER that there exist others who believe in sth else

it’s VERY similar to “you are the ENEMY because you don’t believe in the sayings of my chosen Guru” note the similarities. the blind nodding to “magic magic handwaving mystical blah” and the inner belief that Truth is being sought

from a position of ignorance, euler’s identity is indistinguishable from bullshit or magic. naive hoomans who want to be perceived as smart often most willingly swallow blindly in order to regurgitate robotically

this has REAL benefits. mock good test takers all u want, they often get REAL stem (cog) jobs

suspiciously, climate activism is also a stance to claim Supreme Moral Superiority over the Demonic Irrational Idiots Who R the Problem with Everything

not to mention the massive amounts of money flows that necessitate the narrative to be unquestionable. just like with literal war, there is $$$$ to be made whenever the conflict is over morality

this is not to say that climate change isn’t real. it’s just suspiciously cult like and cults DO get things like “being nice” and “inclusion” right. they get 99% of hooman community right except for the minority of critical elements that prevent disastrous collapse

if you’re faking your understanding or your acceptance because you don’t want to go through the process of dispelling ignorance and looking stupid or coming to peace with loneliness then everything you build will be on pillars of sand. your own bullshit fakery.

the answer to “do hoomans affect the earth” is obviously “of course” the debate of “truth” is a red herring bc truth hasn’t even been defined. reducing the nuance to a black or white binary decision is exactly how “outgroups” who are the enemy of the “ingroup” are created

what’s really asked is “what should we be doing next?” and there’s no way to balance and weight everyone’s perspective if one side is just chest beating “DO WHAT I SAY!! DO THE CLIMATE SAVING”

this kind of vague Super Goal is just a variation on what apocalypse cults used to punt decisions into the future and rationalize any behavior. the purpose is always to maintain centrality and power, never to increase clarity and understanding to empower micro level decisions

imo the only thing that’s clear is that things are complex (and thus unclear) demonizing those who question in order to ram a ham fist of righteousness into them and expecting them to enjoy it? that’s just violent
