  1. The most beneficial thing you can do for the climate is do a deep dive on the effectiveness of climate models, realize that they're absolutely chaotic and are as useless at long-term predictions as weather models, and stop panicking about how the sun-monster is going to kill us all. Oh, and stop pumping the atmosphere full of real toxins, of which CO2 is not one.

  2. Mormons are, strictly speaking, a revival of a heretical sect that the Council of Nicaea was convened to dispose of. Ask someone in the 2nd century "Is someone a Christian if they believe [what Mormons believe]" they'll say "That depends on who you ask". Ask someone from the 5th century onward "is someone a Christian if they believe [what the Mormons believe]" they'll say "No."

  3. "When something happens in Western Civilization, New York either created it, or is on top of it." This is no longer true. Every aspect of media -- advertising, publishing, journalism, news, TV -- has been taken from New York by Silicon Valley / the Internet, in the form of Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, etc. Note that "Mad Men" is a historical period piece.

  4. "All of these companies that rule the world are based out Ecotopia except Netflix" Which is on the border of Ecotopia I guess, being at the south end of Silicon Valley in Los Gatos?
