  • Oh, only climate change. Well that’s alright then. /s

    Climate change is going to influence everything in our society for the worse: politics, economics, living standards, everything, including the amount of resources available to use for research.

    and the world will keep on turning and progressing.

    The world will keep on turning, but there is absolutely no factual basis for claiming it will keep on progressing. If anything that is one thing we can learn from history.


  • Nonsense. We have never had the manmade cilmate change situation which we are experiencing now. It is a unique situation in the history of mankind. We know it is going to get drastically worse in the near future, and it is something that is going to affect us all.

    The fear of nuclear war was fear of the possibility of it, not the absolute knowledge it was going to happen.

    The thing is that there have to be an incentive to receive and accept that logic. Something beyond logic.

    You can’t use logic against someone who is completely emotionally invested in a cause. They need to somehow be open to contradiction, which most cultists certainly aren’t.

    So in that respect it could be said that you didn’t logic yourself out of it, because you had already accepted contradiction to your beliefs before you started using logic.
