That he had conviction

He died of old age and will never get to know the truth: that he fell for a lie and wasted his life, and his children's lives.

What is a conviction if it's based on fear, not facts?

Is that really commendable?

And now the CO2 situation is the same as the nuclear situation.

Just confuse people with some graphs. Graphs work wonders.

Put on a lab coat, look like a scientist, have a PHD. It works wonders.

Does not matter how much you get paid for your bias.

The modern world suffers from something that the old world also suffered from: false authority.

Or you could say false prophets...

Conviction is just adherence to your principles, wether they're wrong or not

It's technically a virtue

If I'm convinced that I can live forever if I cut off my right arm, is that virtuous?

In a sense

I find that very objectionable.

Like all things, even virtues are dangerous in the extremes

But who says what is extreme?

I think the future is nuclear, so, actually *in the long term* it is better to currently support these idiots who wish to abolish carbon for the sake of Global warming.

Isn't it also extreme to sacrifice your life in exchange for the life of your children?

But you wouldn't call that a dangerous virtue

The thing is that we must open the gates for the nuclear.

@yordanyordanov no, Because they don't want nuclear either

This is why we must pressure them to choose either carbon or nuclear.

These green bullshits are just inefficient.

Pressure, how?

By letting the anti-vaccers and anti-antibioticians take its toll

I don't get it

and them use the casualties as an excuse to push nuclear forward.

...?

Well the green idiots want everything greener, right?

Not everything, no

They pick and choose, flippidyfloppidy

Whatever is the current fear of the year

They're trendsters

They do not want carbon, they do not want GMOs, they want organic and solar, right?

Yeeeeeeeah, kinda, but not really, no

I think there should be laws mandating different kinds of products and treatments, then.

For example I'm all for 2 sets of grids-one using nuclear and coal, and the other-just green.

You know that the second one would be far more expensive, right?

Of course I know that

In the same way now there are actually 2 classes of food-the organic/natural or whatever it is called and the others.
