I agree somewhat, in the sense that climate change will have happened slow enough and on a wide enough scale that its impact on human geographic dispersion, social organization, and reproductive patterns will be imperceptible to those feeli

It’s not the way, it’s a way. Life-saving notices are often redundant to reach as wide of an audience as possible, e.g. public radio, commercial radio, sirens.

People simply do better when they work together and try to make each others’ lives better. Your points seem to be meandering and I’m content where we’ve come in this conversation. Be well!

My grandparents were dustbowl survivors and veterans who humbly attribute their survival and later success to their neighbors, friends, and colleagues that helped them, and whom they spent their later lives trying to pay back in kindness an

My grandparents had church, social clubs, mutual aid organizations, and unions which all helped (paid for) support of one kind or another during their hardships. Working together and accommodating others is probably one of the strengths we’

Maybe, but I’m cautious about assuming my own superiority, i.e. that my lonely cohort and I are the only ones able to read and infer the proper meaning from writing, and that others are too easily misguided.

It’s useful in the argument that (1) states, as they’ve grown in size have also been reigned-in due to the power that comes with their size, and (2) that companies, as they grow in size, must be reigned-in due to the power that comes with t

The size of some companies can be taken for granted. Living in a western industrialized country with many large companies, it’s easy to lose a sense of scale. The comparison widens the lens and grounds business organizations within the cont

I read it as saying, “there are state economies that, even surrendering all of the goods and services they’ve created and provided in a year, cannot exchange them for the full market value of some companies.”

It’s a simple inert activity. One becomes functionally dormant for a period of time and returns to activity having done nothing material, in a literal sense. There’s a real impotence at the heart of it.

Injuries per item picked is obviously the inferior of the two, and fairly poor on its own as well.

There’s nothing lost knowing more about a source of information. In most disciplines it’s actually a necessary step in interpreting text.

Can’t speak for grandparent commentor, but I think they’re asking for the actual article which demonstrates the effects to which you’re alluding.

With all due respect, these hypothetical geo-locked colleagues probably don’t teach at Oxbridge and have multi-million dollar patent portfolios. Short of moving to the UK myself and getting a job in his lab, the only reason I was able to wo

Idk, I joined a distributed startup out of school and it gave me access to some of the best in their field from across the world. I learned a lot and there’s little chance I’d have an opportunity to work with that variety of talent if we we
