Last Notes npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Literally one billionaire could fund the caring for all the elderly. It's not about lack of labor so much as society deciding to allocate resources towards where we need it (rather than yachts and trying for a wealthy few to live forever). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio No, CNN, there is no "fertility crisis" and, in fact, we should be celebrating that populations will begin falling. Hopefully that happens before the predicted 2064. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Water wars are a real and growing danger. I'm actually surprised more cross-border conflicts haven't erupted over fresh water yet. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Truth. Though the bubble isn't quite as drastic as Truthsocial, Tesla does produce things of at least minimal value, after all. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Same. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio For all that is holy, this is wholly terrifying. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Colorado has been trying this weird thing since 2017 - give unhoused people homes. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You both bring up good points. I'm not sure I'd call "racist" namecalling, and maybe not even "asshole" . Calling out someone for racism is more a statement of fact, in my mind. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I like that approach; I try for similar. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio And, maybe more directly related to your comment, I don't think 'blind unity' is the goal. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I never mind a constructive comment, especially from a trusted mutual, like yourself. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Genuinely thought you argued that well and fairly. That earns you a follow ;) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Same, friend. Same. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio If it isn't clear yet, the fight we need to be having is against the far-right, not each other. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Can bioengineered plants save us from #ClimateChange and air pollution? Hard no. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I know we don't all agree on where the line is for these protests movements. I can safely say this far crosses the line for me. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio In game theory, there is a concept of "credible threats." npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Don't threaten Tesla shareholders with a good (and strategically sound) time... npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'd be curious about that. I know the floor would have a large carbon cost to build, but it could pay off depending on how long it lasts and its efficiency. I'd love to see an engineer with insights provide insight into that. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio "Coldplay has announced that they have reduced their touring carbon footprint by 59% compared with their previous world tour – via some creative methods that include kinetic dancefloors that allow dancing fans to generate electricity, recyclable LED wristbands and the band travelling by train." npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Colorado joins four other states (California, Illinois, Maryland and Minnesota) in banning book bans! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Even in that case, my second point still holds. There are many costs to renewables. Thinking of them as "clean energy" is really a misnomer/intentional greenwashing from power companies and the like. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I appreciate the quibble! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio First, they aren't all generated by renewables. The US is much closer to 25% renewables than 100% (and I'm sure that is true for Virginia, but don't have the data handy). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Trump raised a record-breaking $34.8 million the day after being convicted of election interference. That's nearly double their previous largest single-day online donation amount. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Direct action against the US would be very, very unlikely to reduce support for a conflict with Russia though. Like, I cannot think of a single thing that could unify support except for a direct attack on US soil. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Direct action of that scale seems unlikely, especially since most of what you describe can be done by cyber attacks. It would have similar impact and wouldn't necessarily trigger all-out war with the US. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm still #TeamOrca even if they are sinking yachts for fun rather thanmaking a political statement about inequality. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio That's definitely true. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio We are still feeling the effects of inflation, for sure. Paychecks don't stretch as far as they did before the pandemic, but that's not exactly inflation. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You've probably heard that many people *think* inflation is still much higher than it actually is, but did you know that people have changed the definition of inflation (and didn't tell us economists)? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio When non-violent protest - non-violent protest to save the world, no less - is criminalized, the world should worry. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Fair. Thanks for asking around. I'm definitely reaching the point that I'm comfortable sharing this story, from everything I've seen. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio That is pretty strong evidence, assuming you trust the source. Not questioning that, by any means. Just not someone I know much about. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio That's good info. Definitely adds credibility, but I am not to the point of convinced, yet. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The "super thorough investigation" is actually just a basic Google search. It's not a major hassle. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio This is not about giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. It's about verifying information, not just believing things because it fits with an already held narrative. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I feel you and am sorry you are bearing the brunt of a lot of misinfo and hate right now (which I would guess is more than usual, but that's a low bar). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah, I'm skeptical. The only thing I can find is an X post with no source linked. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I've really been trying to just be an observer here, but I can't resist calling out this absudity. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah. It's a shame there is such a disconnect between what is and what should be. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You seem to imply 'strip mining' a company is not 'running it like a business.' Today it seems like that is the primary way to do it! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Same! I'd love to read more about what is being referenced if there is a link handy. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio They are intertwined, but could be (at least partially) decoupled. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I think an important point of this is that we *cannot* resolve the economic crisis under capitalism (at least how it is currently defined). The persuit of growth (and profits) preclude it. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The world would be a much better place if that's what most people used their business degrees for :) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm far less interested in if the ICC has jurisdiction than whether they have sufficient evidence to think Bibi has committed war crimes, and I think most others should be too. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio This is a prime time for Democrats to change their tune on #Gaza. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio And the many that argue it are the wealthy who the capitalist economy is designed to serve, and the economists at right-wing think thanks they lavishly fund. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Ah, #capitalism. Neoclasical (mainstream) economic theory tells us it ensures resources will be put to the best, most efficient use. However, ignores the obvious: wealth equals power, so that what is "best" for society is what the richest value. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Self-interest + shortermism + monopoly power = whatever this shit is: npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I really don't get why a campaign whose only platform was 'anything other than what that guy says' wouldn't be popular. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Captive clients make the best (aka most profitable) customers! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Hard to keep customers when they keep getting sucked out of doors at 40,000 feet. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Well, I retract my statement! I genuinely did not know this was an ongoing claim - though, I cannot say I am shocked, sadly. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah, that's a strong example and I'm definitely in agreement. Though, I'm not sure the indigenous land grabs were justified by 'running things like a business' exactly, but it definitely follows similar themes (and you're spot on about the impact on prices). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Can you expand on that thought? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah, anyone who fails the Elon-litmus test has truly delved deep into the dark arts of bigotry. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Ah business degrees. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio We really need to rethink our capitalistic obsession of running things like a business. Cutting costs to increase profits obviously doesn't make sense in areas of education, healthcare, public utilities, and prisons, to name just a few. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I am torn about this. My wife and I have (somewhat) jokingly talked about fleeing to New Zealand if Trump is elected and the US continues its trajectory towards fucking terrifying. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'd be confident in saying there are some good people in college administrations who made calls I would very much disagree with, yes. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I agree with you. The only thing I can think of is that people have a very poor perception about the risks to students, especially Jewish ones, due to biassed media coverage. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The number of people on Mastodon (aka who I'm talking to in this post) who called the cops on students is very likely zero. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Unhelpful. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio As tensions rise over protests and foreign policy, please remember we don't need to 100% agree to be on the same side. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio If voting doesn't matter, why are the wealthy wasting their time on it? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Not sure I would put too much weight into this study. Sounds like they just interviewed 16 students and many reported that it may change whether or not they vote. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I don't think I have heard this... Any details on what the pushback was? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio That freedom to explore is really useful. Sorry to hear your gradschool gave you problems for not having a GPA though. That is definitely a cost of doing things differently. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You are definitely speaking my language again now. My research is on grades and suggesting we move away from them because they are, essentially, just biassed signals to the labor market (and I do not serve the labor market). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The world is complex, the issues surrounding the campus #Gaza protests are no exception. But much of it can be paired down to a simple preference ranking: npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio The question at hand is can one break laws in protest? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Aww come now [@GreenFire](https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire), this deserves more than a favorite as you leave the conversation. You opened the argument about legality of the cops. Now a stand on the mortality of what they are doing. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I think those are good points (especially if you consider any movement that students are involved in to be "student movements") so I'll conceed the initial statement is overly broad. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio You are totally right. I forgot it's all about the US, which is silly cause I live here and see/hear that mentality all the time. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio [@GreenFire](https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I must have missed the "death to America" chant at the one I was at. Seemed more like students demanding fewer us weapons being used to kill children. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm far from an expert on that example, but I'm not getting the sense it was student-led in any sense. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Regardless of if one defines J6 as a protest or riot, it is a poor comparison to the *peaceful* protest of students that was disrupted by the riot squad in Denver. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio There are certainly risks and downsides (as with all things). npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Protests help raise awareness and help shape views, discourse, and, eventually, policy. It helps students get engaged in politics, many of whom will continue to take a more active role in our throughout the rest of their lives because of their experiences there. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I think we may have a very different idea about how much the Venn Diagram of "protest" and "sensible solutions" overlap ;) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Important question: when have large-scale student movements been on the wrong side of history? npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio [@thesquirrelfish](https://sfba.social/@thesquirrelfish) npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio I'm not sure I'd say it that strongly. [@dan613](https://ottawa.place/@dan613) provided a good response critiquing it and is correct that the analysis only considers fossil fuels, which do seem to be approaching a peak. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Cool, I'll check it out after my semester ends. Thanks for the reference! npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Yeah. When farm workers need to wear hazmat suits to spray chemicals, we should be worried. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Oh, capitalism works. It works exactly as intended. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Almost 4/10 people in the US, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, experience unhealthy levels of air pollution. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio We have those laws in the US too. But they don't seem to be applied to the tech sector, at least not yet. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Really appreciate the post and agree with everything except the use of #degrowth here. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Fully agree. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio When you think #greedflation, the image that comes to mind should be #Amazon. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio Carbon capture is a sketchy proposition, at best. There is no way to think it will be cheaper to suck carbon out if the atmosphere than it is to simply not put it there in the first place. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio A new study in Nature has estimated dramatically higher cost of damages from #ClimateChange which could be as much as $38 trillion but 2049. That's more than double the annual GDP of the EU. npub165ct04kdzaq7wtqsqthqawk5cygyamgfusv0m4mr2tusqhm4v88q9ltdlq Kyle Montanio (Neoliberal) Evonomic Theory: the pursuit of profits will ensure resources are put to their most efficient use, best meeting the needs of society.
