English does not lack this distinction. "Hard Sciences" refers to scientific inquiry that is empirical in nature and has results that can be reproduced and confirmed independently. eg: most physics and chemistry "Soft Science

Ah, yes. It appears the banks that collected monies on mortgages and the landlords collecting rents just paid employees! How stupid of me. That must be why home values and the stock market are testing new highs! All those subsistence employ

I made no comment as to whether it was a good or bad thing. I stated a fact. But the fact that “the Market” has exploded in value while the Federal and State government is making direct payments in order to help a significant portion of the

So you don't think those riots, looting, civl unrest etc had anything to do with the militarization of police and the lack of accountability of law enforcement and public officials in general? Not a response to the George Floyd inciden

There are a whole host of issues that stem from industrialization that are complex and require organized and disciplined action in order to contain. Cohesive action by the entire community of industrial nations is just not on the table at t

I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that "lack of rice" (and lack of clean water) is going to be a major issue whether we build out nuclear or not. I think humanity is in for a dark couple hundred years. The window hasn&#x27

Actually, what you wrote was "..activist groups will quite often ignore viable solutions. This is usually because they wish to keep on being activists and keep on continuing the fight." You surmise in the text that the rejection o

I am not sure I understand your point. The atmosphere does a reasonably good job protecting us from the ravages of open space. One of the positive (for us) results of the particular make-up of that atmosphere is to foster life. Absent that

I don't generally think we should be splitting atoms on the surface of the planet. It has lots of dirty side effects that far outlast our capacity to grapple with the consequences. Humans on the whole are not prepared at this point to

Exactly. They whipped the mob into a frenzy with lies and bullshit so they could use its power to get what they wanted. Then they lost control of it. It is the loss of control they regret, not whipping it up in the first place.

I am highly skeptical of them. It was not my intent to defend them. I do not consider nuclear energy a viable alternative to the hydrocarbon economy. I have considered it and I have dismissed it. You will not change my mind unless you can p

There are a number of reasons they are not contradictory.. but the most simplistic would work like this: Day 1: John has $10 and Joe has $100 Day 5: John has $11 and Joe has $250 Day 100: John has $15 and Joe has $1000 They certainly both h

This comment is highly partisan and full of speculative opinion with very little (or zero) evidence to support such wild claims.

It is a massive paradigm shift. That is exactly what leads me to believe that moving to remove/reduce it is going to lead to violence. I also think it is likely necessary to do so if we intend for humanity to move forward.

I believe you have touched upon the fundamental problem. We severely reduced inherited political power in the West. It was bloody and painful, but it was accomplished. We can reduce or remove inherited economic power also. Hopefully it does
