Comments by "Eli Nope" (@elinope4745) on "TED" channel.

  1. Thank you for not erasing male victims. Its a lot easier to emphasize with people who emphasize with you.

  2. 12:50 He begins to actually address a fundamental problem on both sides, and is quickly interrupted. That is the exact OPPOSITE of what I expect from TED.

  3. I agree with her at the end, they cut her then when she was starting to make a point. Cheating ends the "first marriage". She then asks if you would like to make a second one together. Many people would not.

  4. writerconsidered and indoctrinate them into religion.... i would like to see a secular approach to addiction if it is going to be payed for with tax payer money in the united states. separation of church and state and all.

  5. So her study shows that children have strong tribalism.

  6. I support the basis that the government has no business watching you so closely that it would notice if you were pregnant or if you had an abortion. But if it can. Well we were protecting each other's freedom up until we weren't.

  7. There is a general attack on beauty going on for the last ten years.

  8. 3:06 She is a researcher at MIT. She is in a STEM field, she does REAL science. Take a note feminist audience of TED. She should be a shining example of what you should strive to be like. She is competing with men in a male dominated field. Her arguments and ideas are based on logic rather than emotion. She is a female speaker, and the primarily male youtube audience has given her many more up votes than down votes. The men who watch youtube do not hate women, they hate YOU.

  9. Am not scared, don't really care too much. The biggest worry I have with nuclear weapons isn't dying, its surviving with cancer.

  10. I don't want to choose between owning a house or being able to live anywhere in the world. Owning a house is a good first step to being able to travel anywhere around the world. Its useful for leverage on loans in an emergency, it can be rented out for income to support you while overseas, etc. If you want to live anywhere in the world, I recommend that you get a house and contract a good rental company.

  11. Life is not worth sustaining indefinitely unless youth can be preserved with it.
    25
  12. The old Colonial laws are still pushed in trade laws. Western Humanitarianism is the new version of it, while they pretend not to be the same old thing. These are racist cultural attacks.
    24
  13. He reminds me of an SJW, except he said that we all have responsibility, and that we all need to work towards educating ourselves so that we can understand better. This is the very first time I agreed with someone who strikes me as a social justice warrior.

  14. I need to seek asylum from being a capitalist wage slave. Where do I go to escape Capitalist authoritarianism?

  15. a lot of people who are worried about criminals need to understand one simple yet important fact. the majority of people are good. only 4% of the population is made up of psychopaths and sociopaths. most criminals are either backed into a corner where they see few options, or the crime they are doing doesn't have an obvious distressful victim. 96% of people are motivated to do something or refrain from doing something when they see someone in distress, they empathize with the people they see and try to relieve the distress. MOST people do that, and can be depended on to do that, even when it is an anonymous person. a very tiny percentage of the population is made up of people who do and cannot empathize with others, those who do empathize with others naturally band together to confront those who do. the tiny percentage that can harm others with no negative effect on themselves are very good at making huge economic gains for businesses. many of the corporate leaders and political leaders that demonstrate these behaviors are condemned and shunned by those who know of their exploits. the dark net puts the 96% of ethical people in control, the regulated market keeps the 4% of unethical people in control. which would you prefer?

  20. mens rights supporter speaking up. this girl is a good speaker, and this is an inspirational story. her story speaks for itself with no claim of priority over others. this is a great presentation and a plea for help that everyone can respect and that causes no infighting between people of egalitarian nation. girls issues are important and should be addressed. the most horrendous abuses to girls are done outside of western country borders.
    15
  21. This is just a bunch of mansplaining. Where is the female representation? Misogyny all around here.
    15
  22. feminists only want equality with the males that have it best, they want nothing to do with having equality with the males that have it worst. but cherry picking is not equality. what are feminists doing to create conditions to make more women commit suicide? what are feminists doing to increase the incarceration rates and prison sentences of women? what are feminists doing to get female genital mutilation legalized (aka: female circumcision)? what are feminists doing to get more women to die at work? no feminists don't want equality. they want all of the good things, and none of the bad things. they want the pay but they don't want the work. i'm not saying women don't have problems that men don't have. a lot of these are caused because men and women have inherently different mating strategies. promoting the female mating strategy over the male mating strategy is not equality, it is superiority. the natural state (no controls over sexual strategy) is the base state of equality in that regard.

  23. Feeling of safety are delusion. People will do what people do. If you want to feel safe, you should try not to provoke people into attacking you, you should try to make the world a comfortable and livable place for other people. Because ultimately just about any type of weapon could kill you. Its the person using that weapon that you have to fear, not the weapon itself.

  24. Bree Evans I used to think that way. That the radicals were not real feminists. But then I started noticing which policies actually end up being represented by government, as in laws, and I realized that the radicals were the ones that were actually effective in bringing about change. They are the real feminists, they are the ones who get laws changed and policies written that attack men. Real feminists are not egalitarians anymore. Egalitarians are egalitarians, and they most definitely are not feminists.

  25. I am too literal to appreciate this. I hope it is moving for people. My favorite cup of soup is not the most popular, so when things don't appeal to me, it often means that they appeal to many other people instead.

  26. The burning world IS art, and it is beautiful.

  27. not going to lie. with the way that governments have been overreaching lately and ignoring constitutional rights and laws that protect people's privacy, i am scared of the misuse of this technology. i look forward to how this can help humanity, but i fear how this can be used to strip the autonomy from humanity. technology is a double edged sword. the unibomber noted that technology is used to create prisoners of citizens, to make slaves of free men. but at the same time we can see how technology improves the lives of those it aids. i am hopeful for humanity, i fear for humanity. fear and hope, bound together in the apprehension of how people will choose to use this.

  28. writerconsidered yup, i would like to see social control mechanisms fall more in line with how people naturally act. this was a great talk.

  30. We already crossed it, anything that was going to happen when we hit it happened last summer.

  31. 2:36 "The fact that someone who wasn't me was putting limitations on my dreams and ambitions was preposterous, and unacceptable". I couldn't agree with you more. This is why I hate modern day feminists. They have become the authoritarians that the previous generations of feminists fought against. Its one thing to support one persons dreams, and entirely another to oppose another person's dreams. Its ok to support women, it is NOT ok to attack men.

  32. Woman made climate change is caused by overconsumption. When you buy something it creates economic demand to create that thing you bought. Oil is used to gather the raw goods, then to transport them to a factory, then to manufacture them into a product, then to ship them to you. There is a whole lot more oil used within that chain going from this place to that place along the steps of manufacturing. Women make up 80 to 85% of the consumer market. Society is built around supplying women with what they consume, and the women are overconsuming. It may be rather obvious that the speaker overconsumes, but also having a dozen pairs of shoes is unnecessary and is overconsumption. If society wants to fight climate change, than it needs to embrace minimalism. This starts with stopping people from overconsuming. But make no mistake, women will be most effected. They are the privileged over-consumers.

  33. There is a drastic difference between a woman who is educated from a village in some developing nation that looks down upon women going to school and a western woman educated in a western university. The former had to overcome challenges, display personal resilience, discipline, and face and overcome adversity. The latter has everything handed to her on a silver platter complete with scholarships and lower bars of entry all attached to an unreasonable amount of debt (in the USA). This is why a much higher percentage of women who graduate in India have STEM degrees than their western counterparts. This is why women who graduate in India are competent by the time they have a degree.

  34. She makes a valid point. Support the straight white men at your work. They have an uphill battle against diversity hires and systemic discrimimation. They are discriminated against because of thier race, gender and sexual orientation.

  35. O:54 "it was only the men". I wish people would stop telling this lie. It was the gold people, including men and women. The lowest gold woman was still above the highest silver person, man or woman. The lowest silver person can't vote but is still above the highest copper person. Go look at rich women in India. Compare them to poor men. That is the truth, divide people by rich and poor, not men and women, to see the simple truth.

  36. How? So many countries say they won't let Americans (includes me). I have a mediocre income and can't afford big bribes.

  38. GuyWithAnAmazingHat the problem is that our brain competes with itself, and the algorithms do not. the big impact here is by the lymbic system and by hormones. they effectively increase or decrease specific target neural tissue groups from firing or not firing. in the end it is still binary (action potential or lack thereof). but the process that determines it is very much determined by a lot more connections and interactions that are able to be replicated by computers anytime soon (in the next 40 years).  current deep learning takes millions (and sometimes billions) of computers working together. the human brain's decision making process is a competition between immense numbers of complex, competing neurons not just in the brain but in all parts of the body. (touching that burner or getting hungry have massive impacts on your decisions).  we also have hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary hard wiring built into our decision making process (much more than just neurons and neural connections, also includes all the chemical operations impacting these neurons from other parts of the body). the computers have no such hard wiring, do not have limbic systems (are incapable of emotion and treat memory in a fundamentally different way) one day in the future perhaps a computer will be able to replicate a human brain. but it will just be one of many other tasks that computer could do. by the time computers "catch up" to humans, they will already be superior because they will be able to do more than "just" what a human could do.  they can't be compared. they will look very different from each other when they are capable of executing the same number of tasks. and the tasks they can perform may have some overlap but will not be identical.

  39. A whole lot of assumptions made in this video

  40. #metoo , I also was kind of expecting the typical verbal abuse given out by feminists but was pleasantly surprised when she didn't frame all men as evil.

  41. I agree with her. Where is the other side of the debate on TED? All I ever see is socialist reconstructionists and advocates for speech and debates with a complete absence of all the debate sides against the socialists.

  42. I too dream big, don't accept limitations and want to break down barriers.

  43. i think a lot of people hit dislike and left without listening. the title is misleading, and could be accurately described as ragebait. it would be comparable to a guy giving a speech on the dangers faced by children raised by single parents who is calm and level headed, but the title of the video is "single feminist mothers more likely to kill their children". you might expect a certain amount of feminists to vote the video down without listening to it. a lot of people who discuss this type of issue advocate censorship of the internet. look around at the comments. you will see people defending against censorship of the internet. yet she didn't advocate for censorship of the internet. the reason for this is that a lot of people do advocate for censorship of the internet. and they do so under the guise of protecting female victims. the title of this video makes it sound like the video is another attempt at censoring people. at the end of the day censorship is worse than rape. rape victims are effectively censored in some islamic countries. they are censored, because if they speak up about their rape, they face punishment. this censorship makes it impossible for them to seek help, and is worse than the original rape itself. the rape is a one off, the censorship ensures that the woman never recovers.

  44. this is of great interest to me. i hope they teach students about this woman in the future. this is a major breakthrough in science, its impact may be on par with the discovery of germ theory of disease, and the dispelling of the old theory of abiogenesis (the old model not the RNA world hypothesis). this may have more a more meaningful impact on the future of humans than the last 100,000 years (or more) of evolution. it also might be the key to allowing humans to survive and reproduce in the microgravity of outer space, allowing humans to travel to other stars in the future. people get mad when feminists are down voted on TED. well look at this feminists, this is a woman who has done more than most men will ever do in their entire lifetime. this woman has made a major contribution to humanity as a whole. i don't think women are powerless, i just don't respect talks about feminism when instead time could be devoted to stuff like this. this woman is admirable, actually i think admirable is an understatement, i don't have good words to describe this. she is someone we should all look up to and respect.

  45. +clearly_blurry not really, it is very rare that a woman can get a man 10 years her junior or more. not so rare for men. men are attracted to physical beauty like women are attracted to men who can provide resources.

  46. You are a person of less value because you cannot embrace what you are. If you wish to be the lead, be pretty in other people's eyes, not your own.

  47. I am abnormal and I feel no shame for it. Society at large is mostly made up of idiots. Why should I care what they think?

  48.  @Ananaspomidorka  how many cell phones are sitting in dumps right now in the US? lets face it, older cell phones have even more rare earth metals than new ones. Time to start recycling.

  49. Barbie and Lego is misleading. Doll and toy truck very much do have gendered differences that are well documented.
    7
  50. That is the tactic I have used to not get a divorce, and it worked for me! A government contract is not the best way to show your love, I know a couple who has been together for over 40 years before they finally got married, and even then it was a ceremony without government paperwork, a get together of all their friends and family who have known them forever. I honestly think they are happier together without the government holding a threat over their heads.

  51. Just like you.

  52. I oppose global governance, I oppose lack of sovereignty on all levels. Consent of the governed is paramount.

  53. Lucky social justice warriors have a strong history of opposing human rights such as the right to free speech and free expression of ideas. Because of this they are bad people.

  54. corporate bigwigs want to create a mad max scenario for your children's future. they wrote the laws that they are following. they don't think you will do anything about it.
    6
  55. I think what they were trying to go with was a socially acceptable way to say men can go get f'd and will be destroyed in the future. This title had to do. Although in fairness a lot of the big talking heads in feminism have gotten old and detached and maybe a little senile. She still thinks its the 1950's, I have even seen crazy feminists saying that it is worse now than it was then. I do like the radical idea that all genders are equal. I am very much pro egalitarianism.
    6
  56. I hear a lot about moms who need help but nothing about dads. Women have more rights then men do in the US. Women have more programs to help them then men do in the US. We need to fight the matriarchy.
    6
  57. I think there are a lot of people who are under-banked and under-heroined. We can take more from them!

  58. We are losing biodiversity in the human population as well. Modern technology has allowed mass mixing of the populations, we are all becoming the same type of mutt. But all the same breed, and that removes the diversity of different types of humans. If something comes along that wipes out the universal mutt breed, no other breeds exist to survive such an event. I don't mean to make any of this racist. In fact the opposite, I want to preserve all of the "races" all of the cultures, and all of the histories that some people are trying to erase. All of them, with no exception.

  59.  @OrganicMint87  he was talking about "shared reality" and that is a fundamental divide between groups. Most people don't realize that many of their differences with others rest on this problem, they are focused on something from different perspectives. Take pro-life and pro-choice as an example. Pro-life advocates focus on an unborn baby while pro-choice advocates focus on a woman's agency and autonomy. They don't see the problem through a shared lens, and that is the fundamental problem that prevents agreement.

  60. When more people have degree X, the value of degree X goes down. When more people are able to do a job, the wage value for that job goes down. Focusing on education rather than automation does not address the root of the problem.

  61.  @petitio_principii  when running across NLP I have seen 2 drastically different meanings. One is about hypnotism and I imagine that is what this Wikipedia article is talking about. The other is about how language and imagery are imprinted on the mind, and this is what is used in marketing. I think Daren Brown made a video in which he got people to make an advertisement for him, except that he predicted the drawing they would make, and he manipulated it all through that latter form of NLP.

  62.  @franticranter  No, that is a veiled threat that if you don't vote the right way, then your freedom to vote will be removed.

  63. Words only change meaning when people are allowed to speak them in many situations to many people. If you want a word to retain its meaning, censor it.

  65. i hope that CRISPR can be used to help fight the obesity epidemic.

  66. I do think that a lot of racists have written a lot of history. I think a lot of people from Europe buy into historical conspiracies because they're own history was erased by Christians.

  69. It's fine to talk about just like pooping and masterbation. It's simply a bodily function that involves your genitals. It's not oppression, the same standard is held to men talking about fapping or jock itch.

  75. Empower them with vasectomies.

  76. It doesn't surprise me at all. There is a bunch of propaganda and social programs to try and hold back the age at which women start having children. Just having a kid at the age of 23 does so much to prevent pregnancy related complications. If you want a safe pregnancy with a safe delivery, consider going under the age of 23 all the way down to about 16 before you consider having the baby later than the age of 23. By delaying pregnancy past the age of 23, you INCREASE the chance for pregnancy complications and health problems. Our propaganda and social programs that delay having children is the most preventable cause of these complications.

  77.  @erikkeever3504  yup, but it tipped over 1.5 degrees last summer. Many people made a bunch of false claims over that particular line.

  79. "Truly sustainable housing should be affordable to everyone, and available to all". I agree with her here, but not in a way she would agree with. You see, our ancestors were nomads. Homelessness is affordable to all and is truly sustainable and is also the state of housing for humans for the majority of human history. I have solved the housing problem! It isn't a problem. Now lets just end all the pesky laws against homeless people, and problem solved once and for all.

  80.  @SWRaptor1  I don't disagree with you. But the statement I commented on was about education not diplomas. Education on its own is valuable. Some of the most successful people don't have degrees. Be exceptional.
    5
  81. You are right, but you are also wrong. Money isn't a car, its a piece of paper, or some 1s and 0s on a computer. There are finite actual resources. Look at the price of anything, but more importantly look at the price of raw materials. Its going up, because there are more people and fewer untapped resources. We have taken the easy oil, the easy iron, the easy coal, the easy everything. Underground aquafers are drying up, water is getting more expensive. So sure, the top 1% have a whole bunch of money, but if that money was distributed, it wouldn't get you more things, it would just raise the price of everything because demand would go up, but supply is fucked.

  82. I hate people like her who have been busy ruining the things I used to like. Its involuntary manipulation. I am less empathetic and kind as a reaction to interference like this. Want people to have empathy? Be empathetic towards them, not manipulative....

  83. I have seen plenty of feminist ideas over the last decade, can we get a male extremist and racist perspective? I feel like you aren't being very inclusive.

  84. "We can't change the world if "we" don't change ourselves." - this doesn't feel just a little dishonest and evil to me. Social contract is a description of human behavior. Denial of it will result in failure.

  86.  @franticranter  Trump may be on the right, may even have been chosen by them. But he is not the right in general. Its the left whom censors the right from speaking at Universities, not the right censoring the left. It is the left who dresses in black masks and riots and performs crimes and encourages violence against decent, not the right. It is the leftist media that attempts to deplatform independent journalists, not the right. The right is mostly libertarian now, although it still does have many conservatives and even a small and vocal group of radical racists. The racism on the left isn't called racism, and is promoted by the mass media. SJW's don't believe in egalitarianism, they believe in forcing racial and gender stereotypes and speaking over individuals. That is an anathema to libertarians. See who is pushing for more laws, and more limitations and more control. Those are authoritarian things.

  87. its the first broad reaching of its type. another will come along that will be more secure, the bitcoin 2.0 of sorts and when it does and it gets broad reach it will become unstoppable. as for now there are many governments and banks that are threatened by bitcoin so i wouldn't be surprised at all if one of these were behind the larger bitcoin hacks.

  88. I don't think a flock of birds flying together is a good example of autonomy, in fact it is quite the opposite. They don't have autonomy, they must work together to stay in the flock. Autonomy would look like birds flying in different directions, not in a flock, far from each other and not in each other's way. With autonomy there is higher risk to predators, but there is more freedom of movement. I am not willing to sell my autonomy for security. I prefer to live free with the risk that another free person may use their autonomy to attempt to kill me. Its a risk I am willing to take, because without autonomy, life isn't worth living in the first place, and I would be better off dead.

  89. 1:21 "Sight, is the most..." No, that is a misconception. Your sense of smell is the most primal sense, and is the most personal and powerful. Go ahead and name the smells that move you. Try to do it by naming the smell instead of the object that gives off the smell. I will wait. We don't have names for smells, no words to describe the scent independent of the source of the scent. That is why you don't often consciously think of the importance of the sense of smell. Its easy to name what you see, that is why you think of sight. But your sense of smell recalls memory more strongly, impacts your emotions more strongly and is the first and most important sense chronologically speaking as far as evolution goes.

  95. Stuff like this always happens. Some guy with great intentions comes up with a good idea. In this case to track and help clear space debris. But by the time it gets funded, some other guy coopts it and uses it for something it was never intended to do. In this case track satellites to help shoot them out of the sky. So some program that was intended to help clear up space debris, ironically ends up creating more space debris.

  96. To expand upon what others have said about the CIA, this started to occur during the cold war with Russia as a way to hide secret military operations with experimental spy planes. UFO sightings were being reported, and the CIA needed a disinformation program because eye witness testimony was giving away secret military programs. They invented the space alien conspiracy and framed eye witness testimony about unidentified flying objects as testimony by crazy people about space aliens rather than the real truth that many of these people had witnessed US experimental aircraft. This was the beginning of the reframing of "conspiracy theorists" as crazy people in order to discount those who had witnessed secret operations from exposing the secret. In reality conspiracies are anything planned in secrecy by a group. Every secret birthday party is a conspiracy. Conspiracies are common things, and people take part in them all the time. Due to the secretive nature of some hidden agencies, anything labeled and dispersed as "secret" or "top secret" by the government is by definition a conspiracy. All political campaigns have many conspiracies. A person has a legal right to conspire with their lawyer during their legal defense against criminal accusations. So my point is that conspiracies are normal. And there has been a government program to discredit those who uncover secret government programs. You seem to have fallen for this propaganda campaign, to disregard those witnesses who have seen secret plans and who expose those plans.

  97.  @aquasky1138  I agree. None of these studies take into account the amount of money that men work for and women spend. The gender consumer gap is massive and women dominate it. So Maybe those 3 hours aren't really unpaid.

  98. Ser Ratty, Where are you going to draw the line on that one? Can't Crispr-cas9 be considered a potential weapon of mass destruction? And yet at the same time it is a potential cure for many diseases. Weapons are tools, and often the same technology used to make a weapon can be used for other things as well.

In fact, the left and the right got flipped on the x,y axis political compass. It is now the up and the down, the authoritarians vs the libertarians. Antifa and socialists who preach anti-fascism and diversity are authoritarian, and they oppose anyone who supports liberty.

  114. I think we should allow genetic modification for prettier children. The thing is, that people care more about pretty people. That isn't a very nice thing to talk about, but it is true. If we want the future societies to care about each other and to have a vested interest in each other's welfare, a huge thing we could do, is to make the people in those societies more attractive so that they care about each other more. It is easy to ignore the plight of an invisible or an ugly person, it is much harder to do the same for an attractive person. Making society prettier is making it better.

  115. there are good countries in africa and bad ones. you have to be more specific than saying just "africa". for instance i don't want to save children in nigeria. in fact, i really want to see fewer children from nigeria. nigeria is the fastest growing population in the world, it is the number 1 driver of overpopulation. overpopulation is the number 1 driver of humankind's impact on the environment. i would much rather send them options for birth control than send them food. every child that is never born, is a child that never starves to death. an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, or even a ton of cure when it comes to food over condoms/vasectomies/birth control pills.

  119. xEvanRocks when women cat call men (even unattractive women) it makes the men smile. because we know that a cat call is a communication of saying that we are attractive. it is a compliment.

  120. Xanxei i actually stick by my stances. you can call me a troll, i think trolling is a art. i troll with logic, and support things that are reasonable, especially if it is reasonable yet unpopular. cat calling really isn't a bad thing. some women don't want to be cat called, others do. but censorship isn't equality. trying to make people equal slaves is not a good stance for human rights. we should liberate those who are oppressed instead of equally oppressing everyone. being cat called is not being oppressed, it is being annoyed. it is not being harassed unless it persists after the person doing the cat calling has been informed of the desire of the person who is being called to not be called. the norm is not to be protected from unwanted solicitation, rather the norm is to be exposed to solicitation (either wanted or unwanted) unless specifically communicating the desire not to be. solicitation of those who have communicated the desire not be solicited is a form of harassment but to limit this just to cat calling and not to other forms of unwanted solicitation is to focus on issues to specific groups of women over everyone else. it communicates a hidden message that this specific group is more important than other groups, and that is not equality. imagine a scenario in which a woman walks down the street wearing a shirt that openly and clearly states that they do not wish to be cat called, and someone ignores the message and still cat calls them. now imagine a person is on the internet and they are running an adblocker program that clearly states their desire to not be advertised towards. they run the program and yet some company finds a way to advertise to them anyway. these two situations have an equal amount of harassment. both are being exposed to unwanted solicitation despite their effort to communicate their desire not to be exposed to such communications. now imagine a guy wearing a shirt that openly states "don't expose me to your feminist propaganda". despite the shirt, a feminist tells him that cat calling is harassment. she is now just as guilty as the above mentioned guy who cat called the woman who had a shirt saying that she did not wish to be exposed to cat calls. the core debate is about solicited and unsolicited communication and the desirability of having such communications aimed at you. yes it is annoying to be exposed to unwanted unsolicited communication. but the line for harassment can't be drawn there as it would infringe upon free communication. the line to harassment must be drawn after a communication is made that informs the soliciting party that the person does not wish to be exposed to such communication. only after such a communication is made and ignored is it harassment. until that point it is simply unsolicited communication. (which may be annoying and unwanted, but still not harassment). to attempt to silence or control men as a whole in order to protect some women (not all women are opposed to cat calling), is a clear sign of placing the wants and desires of women over and above the liberty of men. currently both have the right to cat call each other and so currently on the issue of cat calling there is equality. to ask for men to be censored to ask for inequality and female superiority. neither men nor women have the right to be protected from unwanted unsolicited communication. laws to stop such communication will always attack the right of free speech for others. the line between free speech and harassment is drawn only after communication of intent not to be contacted (this can be a shirt, a restraining order, a sign, or an adblocking program). but even then some forms of harassment are still legal (especially true of commercial interests such as phone based advertising to people on a "no call" list or advertising to people running ad blocking programs). i do think that we should shine light upon the plight of attractive women. they gain a massive amount of unwanted solicitation. this is one of the many down sides of being very attractive. the public narrative is that being attractive is always a good thing. this is not true. there are many ups and downs to being attractive just like there is to being unattractive. pretty girls do not always have it better than ugly girls, like all things in life these things are circumstantial. and privilege is circumstantial as well. anyhow, i hope you understand what i am trying to say, and why i would oppose opposition to cat calling. i stand on this on the right to free speech. everyone has the right to free speech. nobody has the right to not be offended.

  163. Aunt Manda i agree that violent rape is one of the worst crimes. i would categorize it as a type of aggravated assault, and a severe form of it as well. it would be comparable to causing spinal injuries that lead to life long paralysis and dysfunction that destroys the value of life.  it is just that the absolute worst crimes are just a little nastier. aggravated assault that leads to murder (including the rape and murder of a person) is the worst of the worst. it is the big ugly. now this hurts many more people as nobody wants their kid or brother or mother to be killed, especially in a violent manner, so it hurts survivors as well as the victim. (all crimes effect society by having lasting impacts on the victims except for this one which has stronger impacts on survivors).  when a girl is raped and a boy is lit on fire and allowed to burn to death while awake and not on drugs. the boy has suffered the worse crime. boys are overwhelmingly more likely to be killed by fire than girls are. and burning to death is worse than rape.  also don't make assumptions on people's lives. i have experienced many forms of abuse, sexual abuse being among them.

KAM COLORADO the women i talk to say that it is mostly women that don't like women. a lot of them also don't like women and prefer to hang around men. you would be surprised with how many women i have met that told me the first day that i knew them that "they were not like other women". guys on the other hand like pretty women, and women who share their interests (whether pretty or not).

  165. KAM COLORADO many men are abused and controlled, and they need shelters to protect them from their abusive wives. men frequently need protection from each other. (men are the largest group of victims of violent crimes). consider all the boys that boko haram burned alive at their schools, they needed protection. they didn't get protection because of their gender. the girls who were allowed to live, they got help sent their way and international support. girls always get more support than boys, and women always get more support than men.

  166. KAM COLORADO men are the majority of the victims of men. men need more protection from men than women do. women are the majority of the victims of women as well. luckily for women, they aren't half as physically violent as men are, unless their opponent is clearly defenseless.

  167. although human CO2 emissions are a big problem, it is far from the biggest fish to fry on this. CO2 is useful for crops, it needs to be in the right places (such as not over the ocean), and we will need CO2 to provide food because of the changing weather cycles. many old farms will drought, many will flood, those that are left must be able to provide enough food for the populations. we will have to actively cool the world by blocking sunlight, this will require us to go to space and move celestial objects. a geosynchronous asteroid or 10,000 will be needed to help block out the growing sunlight. don't think it has to do with the sun? go ahead and explain the changing weather on the other planets then. we aren't polluting jupiter.

  168.  @stevenhoog1  So what you are saying is that the group of people who want to help you is a power greater than yourself? Have you ever heard of Descarte's famous saying, "I think therefore I am"? It is you who gives those things value, it is you who prizes the group of people over yourself. But the reality is that there is a tiny chance that those people are all a figment of your imagination. The pantheist god may be a higher power than you, and is certainly a thing. But such a god does not care about you nor what activities you do, what drugs you consume, or if you are alive at all.

  169.  @stevenhoog1  I don't believe in sick minds. Its a made up thing used in order to control behavior and thoughts. A sick mind is a mind that doesn't work well or mesh well with society as a whole. But there are societies in which well adjustment is not a sign of good mental health. The governments of the world today are sick, if you don't mesh well with society that is probably a good thing.

  170.  @stevenhoog1  I agree that you gotta try to become stronger and better by your own internal standards. Your higher being is the future you that you could become, if only you put the work in to do so now. As for drugs, its a big gray hazy area for me. Two people with two different lives could be doing the same drug at the same rate and same amount with it being a major problem for one and not a problem at all for the other. Different people have different bars and different standards for different things. But people who are trying to quit an addiction are by default trying to become stronger and more independent.

  172. fightfanian i agree, but over time i have seen the same problems in political beliefs. progressives ignore the fact that they are fighting against ideologies that are based on fiction when they themselves use ideologies based on fiction. patriarchy theory of modern feminism is just as false as any religion. forced freedom is not freedom. to force liberty on people is the same as forcing any other ideology.  there is very little difference between the west forcing western values on islamic countries, and islamic countries forcing islamic values on western countries. both are bad things, both are evil and both should be avoided.

  176. Jaquelynn Gering women cry more than men. "why we cry" - american psychological association.  "THE IMPACT OF PREGNANCY ON U.S. ARMY READINESS" - merideth bucher  i am relatively sure he is comparing STEM careers to the career fields you DON'T see feminists fighting for more. the fields of work where A- there are a relatively high number of work place deaths (yes there are a few exceptions, but in those exceptions you can count the women on one hand, while there are hundreds or thousands of men) such as elite or front line military, underwater welding, nuclear waste clean up, lumberjack (the old style where you do it, not a machine), sky scraper construction, etc.  go look at the two women who passed the ranger course, they didn't carry machine guns (the M240-B) ,and they recycled courses more than men are allowed to without failure. i'm not going to try and go dig for it, there was a personal report leaked and you can find it, it wasn't put out in the media, although another personal report by a general was before the girls passed and that general basically said the girls would pass or the trainers would find new women that could. basically they were going to find women and push them until the women passed and they were going to suffer if they didn't do as the general told them.  a lot of this stuff has been traced in books about the wage gap myth, it is easy enough to find credible sources on the wage gap myth just using the youtube search field. at least one leading feminist from the 70's wrote a book about this.

  183. kingofprussia17 worker coops are better than corporations for the vast majority of people (but not for the top deciders who are drastically overpaid to the detriment of other employees). but when worker coops start getting big, the country that supports them gets attacked and war is declared on it (see spain).  organized work is great for the economy. corporations are not the only available method, they simply are the method that is best at corrupting governments to put laws in place that create corporate monopolies and at the same time create an oligarchy of wealthy people who's interests are placed above everyone else's.  if you  haven't noticed corporations have crushed the open source movement, not through competition but through new laws that give the corporations monopolies. our copyright laws have become a joke, they exist purely to support the oligarchy and to suppress innovation.  corporations were great, in the 1940's through 1960's. but since then they have become corrupt and destructive to the lives of the people who live in the governments that sustain them.  there is a food coop named "Costco" that exists on the west coast of the united states, i prefer that store far over "sam's club" on the east coast. as a customer i can barely tell the difference. but the reality is that employees at costco get paid twice what sam's club employees get paid (and sometimes more than twice). this is because costco is employee owned and sam's club is a subsidiary of the walmart corporation. costco does it better. costco is a net benefit to the communities who it serves. sam's club is a parasite taking local money and centralizing it in the hands of the oligarchy.

  184. Xanxei cat calling is a communication of one person to another telling the other person that they are attractive. it is a compliment. the problem is that women don't cat call men often enough. they refuse to extend the courtesy that men extend to women. furthermore attempting to stop men from communicating is an attack on their autonomy and is sexist against men.
    2
  185. Xanxei yes i think it is reasonable to have some form of communication that you don't want to be cat called. simply being unattractive works for a lot of women. and oppressing men and censoring their communication so that women don't have to be annoyed is far from seeking equality. if you want equality than more women should be cat calling men. we should have equal freedom. if we want to tear people down and limit their freedom to make everyone equal than we should just start a nuclear war that kills everyone. than we will all be equally dead. and nobody will be able to do anything that offends anyone. i stand for liberty. don't want to be cat called? you should have the right to communicate that desire.
    2
  186. Xanxei so suddenly what women want is more important than what men want? and you call that equality? i don't think so. i am an egalitarian. everyone has the right to free speech and nobody has the right to censor the speech of other people. you have the right to go protest, and i have the right to cat call attractive women. if one is harassment than so is the other.

  187. Xanxei i do defend that right. and do you know what? its great for black people. you see people are going to be racist even if they shut up about it. if you are a black person and all white people hide their racism, than all white people look like potential racists. its a much better world if you can tell the racists apart from the non-racists. i also think everyone should be able to wear their bigotry on their sleeves that way everyone else can know who to get to know and who is just a waste of their time. that is why i stand up for your right to openly be a feminist.

  189. Xanxei my stance would be that all public places are areas where free speech may be expressed (including the right to cat call people), as the government has an onus not to suppress free speech and to support free speech (specifically unpopular speech). since public land is government controlled, i believe there should never be any form of censorship on public lands. (obviously does not apply to illegal speech such as a call to violence or a lie intending to cause harm through massive panic). i am opposed to public lands that censor profanity and nudity. i am opposed to any attempt by the government to squash peaceful debate or protest. i admit to the possibility of me worrying incorrectly here, but i fear that free speech is being eroded and that some powerful people are "astro-turfing" (starting false grass roots movements that are actually funded and organized by powerful institutions with specific political agendas) movements that erode free speech in an attempt to suppress peaceful revolution and political dissent in the future. in order to preserve free speech, i fight to protect all speech, especially unpopular speech. i would defend someone's right to scratch their balls in public, just like i would defend another person's rights to call them gross in public for doing so. i am not concerned with the uncouthness of a situation, rather i am concerned with the preservation of the ability to communicate unpopular things. (of any political stance, including stances that i adamantly disagree with so long as they are not an erosion of free speech). i believe that speech must remain free and thoughts must remain free. these things are sacred to me. the first amendment is all about the protection of belief and speech, it is the very first human right protected in the constitution for a reason, and the second is guns to make sure that violence can back up the first if it is abridged. the correct political action to suppression of speech and thought is to kill the person doing the suppression. free speech allows for peaceful political change, if that is not possible than violent political change follows. nobody has the right to not be offended. nobody has the right to censor others or to control their thoughts and beliefs. once these things are breached than civilization has been breached and we revert to the natural order. in the natural order there is no right to life. i stand by these things. i will fight for these things. i am a veteran of wars in iraq and afghanistan. i am a firm believer in the constitution. i have fought for these principles before (actually i believe i was deceived while i was young and ignorant), and i will fight for them again if needed. but i don't think it should come down to that. you have the right to offend me. you do not have the right to silence me. you have the right to be protected from my physical violence, but not my verbal non-threatening attacks. i do not have the right to be protected from your verbal attacks. but the second one group silences and censors the other, it is a declaration of war and an invitation to violent conflict in the truth meaning of the word. the type that doesn't just offend, but leaves dead bodies in its wake. i don't believe it should ever come to that. rather i think that public awareness for the most part works, and that awareness is spread through freedom of speech. most people are good people, that don't want to see others harmed (this is especially true of veterans who have seen too many people die over stuff that should have been talked out instead of gunned out). most young men do not understand the perspective of pretty women who have to go through being cat called around every corner they cross. they don't understand because women don't cat call them. they have no ability to empathize because to them it is a compliment. women should SHARE their experience first hand, by returning the favor. until that happens men and women will live in different worlds with different perspectives. at the same time many women do not realize that a lot of cat calling is a legitimate compliment. if they SHARE the experience of being on the other end, it will help them see the men's perspective. once both men and women understand each other's perspective they can use their free speech to come up with a solution that works for everyone without suppressing anyone. the problem with cat calling (and everything really) is that it is seen through different perspectives by different people. freedom of speech allows people to share their perspectives to both recognize a problem (or to recognize if it actually isn't a problem) and to recognize how the problem can be addressed in a manner that doesn't oppress one group to protect another. but freedom of speech is important in these (and all) things. the cost of individuality is that people will have different perspectives (i am an avid supporter of the liberty to be yourself and not be like everyone else as well). as for the trolling, i was sharing the male perspective. i do my best to be aware of the perspective of other people. this is why i am aware of the problems that are unique to pretty women even though i am a short man (the male equivalent of being a fat woman).

  190. wohdin physical abuse is a form of assault which is a greater crime than harassment. just because you don't like something doesn't make it harassment. my logic is logic. i defend my stances and opinions with it. i am generally a kind person, but i strongly value my liberty even my liberty to do things that i will never choose to do. i want the option just in case i need to do it for unexpected reasons. but i am not selfish about this. i also want you to have liberty as well, even the same liberties as me, even when they are liberties that i will not practice and you may. at the same time there may be liberties that i practice and you do not. having the ability to choose among many paths of actions allows us the freedom to be individuals and to pursue our own personal goals.

  191. i'm a sexual abuse survivor. i think we should use fMRI to study if someone is remembering something or making something up. that way the mikes o the world that are innocent can be shown to be innocent. and then when a woman falsely accuses a guy of rape, she gets sentenced with a sentence that a rapist would get. that way those who do wrong are held accountable, and there is a real deterrence for violating the rights of another human being. we live in a false rape claim culture. where false rape accusers are not only believed at face value, but are able to demand that men have their lives destroyed with no due process of law. that needs to change, and fMRI's can help a great deal in determining the difference between a rape victim and a false rape accuser.

  192. apparently i am not part of the problem. i haven't seen any of these videos, and don't intend too. i don't care that it is recorded, i am more concerned with what happened. if it was going to happen anyway, and someone decided to record it than i think it should be protected as free speech. on the other hand if people are paying for a crime to occur, and the crime would not have occurred without the demand of the viewers than it is bad.

  193. i am already afraid of my phone. smart phones were supposed to be liberating, but then governments and private companies started using my phone to spy on me. what used to be a tool to help me with directions became a tool to track everywhere i went. they told me "why should you mind? what do you have to fear if you have nothing to hide?" they said this while hiding, and they only said it after they tried to imprison the man who told me. no, i don't want more technology, no i don't want a stick that knows my mood, or a light that can read my mind. i don't want a computer that can predict my thoughts, i don't want something that can be programmed by someone else as a means to curtail my liberty, to strip me of my autonomy, to take away any power i once had over my own decisions over my own life. i could do without those things. do you know why i like books more than smart phones? books don't spy on me. figure out a way to make technology and computers in a manner that cannot be taken over by a bad actor and turned against me. that is what i want, something that i can depend on not to be used by someone else to control my decisions.

  194. at the end of the day we are just biological machines driven by emotional behavior that was selected to get us to reproduce. greed is motivated differently in men and women. men are greedy because it will get them laid. if they stock up on resources they can use it to attract a woman (that is why you see men buying expensive cars and peacocking). women are greedy because of an instinct for nesting behavior and providing a safe environment for their children to grow up in as well as provide them food. this is instinct. in this manner most mammals that share parenting are greedy. it results in the survival and thriving of their offspring.

  223.  @wandayonder9772  I'm cool with reducing murders. For instance, if we had some type of social group online that could expose women who are toxic and who gaslight men until it aggravates the men into doing stupid things, then we could help prevent men from doing stupid things. Most domestic violence is two parties fighting with each other and sometimes it escalates. Both men and women need to be warned about new people that they are potentially partnering with. Men are the problem, women are the problem, narcissists are the problem. People should know if the person they are about to date has a toxic past, that includes physical violence as well as emotional violence, that includes both men and women. But sexist activism continually shelters women whether the women are victims or victimizers. And sexist activism continually attacks men, whether they are victims or victimizers.

    2
  226.  @wandayonder9772  I think some form of social media that warned people about each other's past would help a lot in this regard. Women would know to stay away from men who had violent or abusive relationships in their past, while men would know to stay away from women who had emotionally abusive relationships in their past. Ultimately the person killing is responsible, but many a murder victim was a narcissistic emotional abuser or rapist or the like who had done something that provoked irrational behavior from the murderer. Keeping emotionally fragile men away from narcissistic women is a good way to save the lives of those narcissistic women.

  232. I have noticed that film is loaded with actors, actresses and myths. I find most documentaries to be heavily biased at best, and downright misleading or outright lying at worst. Honor killings are tied heavily to honor societies. The family doesn't just decide willy nilly to kill a family member. Rather it is the society that places great social pressure on the family to address the cultural transgression. Such a woman places a great social burden on her family clan through her selfish actions. I obviously don't promote such actions, rather I try to understand why things are the way they are. These types of things only happen in societies that have clans and castes. I don't think life imprisonment would deter people from honor killings. The killer will sacrifice themselves to save their clan.

  240. It already has. A video of Pelosi was slowed down to make it look like she was drunk. Now if you speed it up, she was probably drunk anyway but that isn't the point. I have nothing against drinking. But who do you think made that video, her supporters or her opponents? I am leading to the former, since if you speed it up she was probably a little buzzed on alcohol anyway, but using technology against her makes her look like a victim, and maybe you will sympathize with her if she is a victim. But the tech is already out, and has already been used to spread lies about political figures. Even when we know damn well that it is a lie, we would have a hard time knowing who made it and why they made it. And that is the point after all, divide and conquer.

  241. Immigration from small greenhouse footprints to countries with large greenhouse footprints is the primary driver of population growth in many countries that would have been in population decline.

He had envisioned them being used to make cheap passenger flights so that people could travel easier. He did not realize that the US government would attach missiles to them and use the systems on smaller aircraft.

More and more you need to be exceptional to make it into the middle class. Soon there will not be a middle class.

  265. @Creative Guise Thank the patriot act for that. US government has backdoors to all routers made by US companies, China does the same with Chinese made routers. If you search old news you will find a time when China was having backdoors put in US routers that were being made in China. Its all part of the internet technology arms race you sometimes hear about and is done in the name of "security". No onion path can protect you, no vpn, no nothing. If a person has access to the codes for the backdoors then they can man in the middle you from your router, and I can't prove, but am pretty certain that the government mandates and gag orders router companies to put in these backdoors and give them access to it.
    2
  266. @Creative Guise I don't think they dragnet with routers, rather if they have any reason to suspect you for anything they man in the middle. It takes an actual person with actual intent to exploit your routers. That being said, if you logged onto the wrong website it may have flagged you. Say you click on a something that has to show something on your screen (could be damn near anything), it could also run a simple file that your computer doesn't run but your router recognizes and runs without any permission on your side since the router is already hacked. Now FBI or some guy who used to work for FBI, or China, or Google, or the private investigator your ex wife hired, or a Russian sec ops or whoever can get in the middle of whatever goes from your router to your computer. Now that could be securely encrypted, or poorly encrypted. But in the future, any encryption key your router sends they know, and they know the key sent back, so encryption is useless since they can look like you to access anything you accessed. How long do they keep it? Depends on who has it and what they are using it for. Your ISP isn't spying on your router, well it might be, but I doubt it since there are simply too many and it would be expensive to log all that data. But who knows, maybe uncle sam is paying them to do that.

  278. InMaTeofDeath the problem is in his statement that these are the worst crimes against humanity. they are not. the worst crimes against humanity happen primarily against males.  if you want to say that what females go through is worse than being burned to death than i am all ears on to why that may be the case.  until then i am angry that he said that the WORST crimes against humanity were against women. that is simply false.

  279. InMaTeofDeath in my opinion the worst crime against humanity is aggravated assault leading to murder. during times of war people are literally painfully dissected and dismembered alive as they die. the worst deaths are the ones that are most painful and last the longest thus extending the torture before death occurs. the overwhelmingly majority of these victims are male.  there are numerous sources, pick a war and look at who fought in it and who died in it. see if you can find sources on male and females killed, captured, etc. you will find that in EVERY war that the majority of these people are men.  for my source i will site the incident in nigeria last year when boko heram burned a boys school down, burning the students to death, and shooting to death those who jumped out of windows to escape the flames. a week later they kidnapped a bunch of girls at the girl's school. the public was outraged at the kidnapped girls. the public, much like our former president, seem to ignore the much more violent plight of men and boys.

InMaTeofDeath i am a veteran of operation iraqi freedom and operation enduring freedom. i served in a spearhead unit. i saw who fought, i saw who died. i was shot by a sniper, and i went through the medical echelons, i saw the women and the men who were serving. i served with men, at the time women were not allowed into combat units. we did have a few female drivers attached to us, and we were assigned to protect a police station that had a group of MPs that included some females.  what convinced me was going to war myself. i do not recommend you follow my example. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but especially to a woman. a woman might have to be a mother later. war does bad things to the mind, an unfit father is one thing, but an unfit mother at infancy is horrible for a child, and that is bad for society.

  282. InMaTeofDeath i don't think men suffer more than women. i think suffering and happiness are subjective things that are measured against your previous experiences. because each person is solipsistic and experiences the world in a unique and isolated manner i doubt that it is even reasonable to attempt to compare the suffering of one person to the suffering of another. not only would i expect the suffering to be different, i also would expect that the ability to experience suffering would also be different. as such the question of "who suffers more?" can never be addressed in a meaningful and conclusive way.  my claim is that men are the majority of violent actions that result in death. my claim is that murder is a greater crime against humanity than rape.

  285. KAM COLORADO their statistics disagree with each other. https://rainn.org/get-information/statistics/sexual-assault-victims "93% of juvenile sexual assault victims know their attacker.6 34.2% of attackers were family members. 58.7% were acquaintances. Only 7% of the perpetrators were strangers to the victim. For 80% of juvenile victims, the perpetrator was a parent. 6% were other relatives. 4% were unmarried partners of a parent. 5% were "other" (from siblings to strangers).13" 34.2% of attackers are family members, 80% are the parents. all parents are family members. strangers are not family members.

  287. +hollium i believe that many of those kids would be better off married young, and handed to a more responsible person. a lot of people consider this abuse, but fail to consider the high levels of abuse in households like those. i believe that early marriages have a lower rate of abuse than families like that, especially single mothers who are dating a live in partner that is not the father of the children.

  290. +Malcolm Pagett racism has its roots at bias. we are biased to favor people we find attractive. we find certain physical and behavioral traits attractive. we can choose to try and overcome this, but it is part of our nature. the social action to attack racism, often attacks people for their personal preferences on what is and is not attractive. attacks against subtle racism are attacks against autonomy. lighter skin is a preference in nearly every culture, and neoteny is the #1 marker of physical beauty across all cultures. light skin is a neotenous trait. lighter skin signals youth, and youth is beautiful. you can attack me over the color of my skin, or you can attack me over my preferences of beauty, either way you are being biased against me and attacking me over things i cannot change and have no control over. so anti-racism that crosses over to subtle racism, is just as bad as overt racism.

  291. mobile money is using your phone company like a bank so that you can pay for things with your cell phone if you were wondering. its kind of like using bitcoins but less secure and with less autonomy. i would rather use bit coin and strip out the government control and surveillance from that cycle, why would i opt into being controlled or monitored by some other company when a more secure option allows me to avoid it? guess thinking about how someone else might exploit me and taking steps to prevent that is what keeps my country from leading the way with that type of technology. i wouldn't be proud if it was my country leading mobile money over bitcoin.

  293. Jaquelynn Gering i oppose the means not the end. i am egalitarian, which means that frequently i end up clashing with modern feminists (who may claim to be egalitarian but suggest actions that definitively are not).
    1
  294. Jaquelynn Gering i think something needs to be done, i think that is to legalize prostitution. men need more outlets to gain autonomy as it is being attacked from many angles lately. prostitution is shown to reduce violent crime rates, which i assume that violent crimes is a result of males poorly handling stress, as is suicide. but lo and behold, look at feminists stances on sexual outlets for males who are in stressful situations and low autonomy. from my perspective it looks like feminists are outright attacking men, by controlling the behavior and limiting the autonomy of other women. but i imagine you see things differently.
    1
  295. Jaquelynn Gering no, you don't follow me everywhere. i am an egalitarian. if your stance is that women who can do the job should be able to do it, than i side with you and catch flack from the conservatives. and men do need more anger management, we have plenty of public resources for poor women's needs, we need some for poor men as well. it is in societies' best interest to have anger management available to men who need it but cannot afford it, and it can't be linked to those who already are in legal trouble for being angry. it needs to be something men can go to before they get in legal problems and before they harm anyone. it also needs to stay private so that it doesn't lead to employment discrimination. the problem with being an egalitarian is that the feminists and the conservatives don't like your ideas. there is no egalitarian political party.

  296. we need to end social liberation violence. these are attacks on people's liberties disguised as other things. i agree, we need to attempt to keep guns out of the hands of people who would use them to shoot children. but i disagree on how to do that. instead of banning guns, i think we need to address situations that would cause a person to think it was a good idea to shoot a kid. and to even begin to address this, we need to talk about the real world consequences of backing someone into a corner by stripping them of all of their liberties, until they have nowhere else to turn, and no direction to travel without using violent force. guns don' kill people. water doesn't kill people. people kill people, sometimes on purpose and sometimes on accident.

  297. i like the idea of bitcoin, but what happens when the IMF controls the majority of the computers that are tracking the bitcoin records? or what happens when malware targets a large number of the computers tracking these bitcoin records? or what happens when the IMF bank who is controlling the majority of these computers releases malware that alters a majority of the remaining records? we have to solve these problems. big trade groups and banks are not about to give power of money up. this is the seat of their power, this is what they use to control the masses. bit coin creates free markets, uncontrolled free markets. i like free markets. but you may not. there are a lot of down sides to free markets. i can live with them. but can you?

  300. women sure are letting society down. how come none of these talks mention that 7 out of 10 male rapists in the united states were raised by a single mother? do we think that the childhood environment of boys has no effect on their adult life?  we do not live in a vacuum. the actions of men effect women, the actions of women effect men, and the actions of parents effect children. many chains of problems are started or perpetuated by women. the same is true of men.

  302. +David Patterson i don't disagree that green energy is a good idea, and i think we need to consider the acidity of the oceans and do something about it. but Naveen is right, what they tell you about climate change is omitting some very important information. earth isn't the only planet undergoing climate change in our solar system. the sun's output is increasing, and all of the activity of humans on earth comes nowhere close to what the sun is doing to our climate.

  306. GuyWithAnAmazingHat i don't think the two are really comparable, the idea of comparing them is a fallacy. one is made of silicon chips, the other is organic in nature. they do not follow the same rules, they are like comparing apples and oranges. when will an orange catch up to an apple? computers are doing crazy things, they make up 70% of the stock markets. they are learning to see, to read, write and speak. they recognize novel objects. whether they are comparable to human brains or not, i have heard predictions by intelligent people that 80% of current jobs in the US will be replaced by automated labor in the next 40 years. there will undoubtedly be new jobs made in the process, but there will have to be some massive changes in society.
    1
  307. ***** you are correct, western nations are not egalitarian nations. they have legal policies that are primarily sexist in men, and here in the united states there are many many subcultures that treat girls and boys differently.  gender equality cannot be reached. it is comparing apples to oranges, in the end both women and men are a bunch of individuals with individual goals that are based both on genetic factors and environmental factors. they will only be truly equal if they neither have genetic differences or environmental differences. if this were to be the case, then one of the genders needs to be eradicated (which would be horrible for everyone).  the women in third world nations have much fewer opportunities than women in first world nations. furthermore the abuses against them are much more dire.  in the united states the typical rape is a guy who got too drunk and made a poor decision in a party after school with a girl who gave him social indications of consent, and later revoked them without him noticing or sometimes without him caring.  the typical rape in a muslim third world country is a brutal affair where a man holds down a woman, often kicking and screaming and forces himself upon her under the threat of imminent death if she resists too much.  these are wildly different crimes. third world countries have much more violent actions against women.  more importantly the western nations are at a point where they can consider the rights of other marginalized groups that are suffering because we aim too much money at women in general instead of specific groups that bear the brunt of abuse, and oppressive actions, for instance, young black women in the united states are at much higher risk of being raped than white upper class women going to college. and yet it is the college girls that we are trying to protect while still allowing the young black girls to get victimized.  so yes the western nations still have problems. but when they are confused with being in the same state as non western nations (especially nations ruled by sharia law) it creates larger divisions between the people and increases crime rates, thus harming more women and girls.  so we have to focus our efforts and put money into systems that help people based upon stopping the most harm and protecting the most vulnerable before moving on to less dire considerations. 
    1
  308. ***** i appreciate your sentiment. i think there are violent rapes in muslim countries that do not occur in the united states are anywhere near the same rate. perhaps it is the bias i receive from news sources. i probably only hear about the most severe rapes in other countries as these are the ones that are reported on the international news agencies.  i just think that the typical life of a girl in sudan is much worse than the typical life of a girl in a western college (some colleges are worse than others).

  309. for those institutions that have the room, infrastructure and money to do it, they could create 3 bathrooms, a men, women's and disabled/changing room. this last room could be used by either gender, could be extra wide to accommodate wheelchairs (why only accommodate one type of disability?) have rails, and accommodate people with young children who need to have their diaper changed. i wouldn't say this should be expected in all establishments. rather it should be something that is provided by those institutions that can afford to do so and have the building infrastructure to do so (keep in mind not everyone can afford to renovate an old building that had two small bathrooms). i still don't think this should be a TED talks though. TED used to be about science, technology and innovation, not about equality and various brands of humanism.

  310. Democracy the word, implies that the people make the decisions. You exploit it by doing things that makes the people's lives better, and being clear about communicating how you are making the people's lives better in a way that they agree with. If a foreign country is better at doing this than the countries' own leaders, than something is wrong with the countries' leaders.

  312. does anyone honestly believe that we can stop the climate from changing? does anyone believe that there was a time in earth's history where the climate was not changing? let me tell you about a neat little cycle of climate change that the earth has had ever since the moon formed. its called "seasons", maybe you have heard of them. historically we have divided the constant climate change into 4 different "seasons" we call them "winter", "spring", "summer" and "autumn" (or "fall"). this continual cycle of climate change is caused by the wobble of earth on its axis, and the cycle repeats every year. there is long term climate change as well, which is constant and has never been halted in earth's history. we do not have the same climate that there was during the age of the dinosaurs (way more oxygen back then in the atmosphere, way less CO2 and no ice age because of it). i believe in climate change. i just don't believe it can be stopped. i don't believe that climate change is unnatural (although i do believe that humans have a non-negligible impact on it). what i don't believe is that it can be halted or stopped. even if we had thousands of years to design something to stop it, it would take more resources than are available on earth. perhaps one day in the future we will have giant mirrors in space that shine sunlight on the earth in patterns controlled by an immense AI that keeps the climate stable and unchanging. but we are a long way away from that, centuries, perhaps millennia. i also believe in greedy bankers who like to manipulate currency. we have a long history of that as well. it might be easier to stop climate change than it is to stop greedy bankers from finding new ways to fleece you out of your wealth.

  319. giving refugees the right to work only encourages those creating the conditions to create more refugees. i would like to point out that a lot of those people are wealthy business owners who want cheaper labor. the type of people who have rigged the political system. the type of people that TED used to try and get as their primary audience. instead of being relevant, TED has turned into a propaganda box. it used to be people talking to oligarchs, now it is oligarchs talking to people.

  321. what if i told you that everyone is unique, not just in DNA but also in gut flora, in retroviruses, in diet, in environment. what if i told you that even identical twins will have mild differences in medication effect? this men vs women is easy, but it is also a false narrative. the same things could be seen between people who are vegetarians vs. heavy meat diet people. the same thing is true of white people living near the poles vs dark skinned people living near the equator. to focus on gender is to lose sight of the reality, that people are unique, and that drugs do not work the same on all people. there is a real reason to focus medical trials on extending the health of males. men die much earlier than women, and are responsible for the majority of the production of real wealth. extending the working lives of males increases production, and benefits women as well as men.

  322. cops using predictive technology that monitors social networks to pinpoint criminals and potential crimes before they occur. mix this with the justice system where the people do not make the laws and often oppose some laws. now tack in the fact that prosecuting attorneys offer plea deals but threaten extreme jail time if the person pleas not guilty and takes it to court. over 90% of people take the plea deal, many of them innocent. certain demographics are more targeted than others. and some actions which would otherwise be considered cultural norms for these groups are instead considered criminal actions. (marijuana should be legal for example, and black people are more likely to be targeted by the crime tracking software).

If i had to pick between Hillary Clinton and Melania Trump to set an example for young girls, by FAR it would be Melania.

  324. +Howard Kurtus those who innovate tend to hire employees from other countries. the wealthy do not innovate in our corrupt system, they either start wealthy or they work to prevent other people from profiting off of further innovations on their ideas. wealth is generated from innovation, but money is generated from stopping other people from innovating. copyright laws do reward innovation, and in the process they stop innovation in its tracks.

  325. i'm worried about the data. it needs to be scrubbed at the minimum. what is to stop the government for looking for some harmless legal activity that correlates with some "undesirable" trait, or some unknown "interaction" that allows people to have effective democracies, and shut it down, or target people who the public would not consider as bad people or undesirable actions? governments all around the world have long histories of abuse of innocent people. but i am sure they can find a way that everyone is "guilty" so long as they get to write the laws. this can lead to massive amounts of discrimination based on socioeconomic status and wealth distribution.

  326. diseases survive much better if they are not lethal very quickly. diseases grow inside other creatures (vectors) and if they kill those other creatures too quickly than they don't spread. as such evolution selects against diseases that are very lethal unless those diseases are in high density populations where they can spread easily in a short amount of time. but any form of containment of such a disease leads to its extinction.

  336. wohdin apparently i am part of the problem. i think any woman should be able to turn down the offer, but more options is more power. we still have the problem of women not cat calling men. its only harassment if it is repeated after the person being cat called makes it clear that they are not interested. the traditional cat call whistle is a compliment. if you want to make it out to be anything other than a compliment than you are part of the problem. more women should cat call men. and compliments are not harassment unless the person being complimented makes it known that they do not wish to have such attention.
    1
  337. wohdin response to 1) i partly agree with this, but in this same definition all media advertisement can be classified as harassment and all unsolicited communication can be viewed as harassment. so to speak to someone you don't know is harassment and so strangers must always remain strangers because it is harassment to start a conversation with one. women are people, i think we all understand this. to value an attractive woman because of her sexual attraction does not detract from her other values. men simply value sexual attraction in women more than they value other things. they place sexual attractiveness as a high priority. this does not mean that other things are not important. it simply means that sexual attractiveness is very important. it is wrong to shame men for having their own priorities. it reduces them to objects and takes away from other values they might have.
    1
  338. Xanxei annoying is the key word, it doesn't become harassment until i express my desire for it not to be done, or post a communication stating my desire to not be contacted. i would be opposed to people cat calling someone who was wearing a shirt that said "please don't cat call me". i would be opposed to someone cat calling someone after they expressly stated they did not want to be cat called. but some people DO want to be cat called. many men are following the golden rule when they cat call a woman. they genuinely would desire for that woman to cat call them. many women appreciate a cat call whistle from someone so long as the whistle isn't interrupting them, and especially if the cat call comes from a man they find attractive. this is why i stated earlier, that the problem is that women don't cat call men enough. it isn't reasonable to expect all men to cease communicating when they find a woman attractive, and attempting to do so is censorship of those men and a form of oppression. censoring cat calls is far more oppressive than cat calls are. you lose context when you think of cat calls as harassment instead of compliments. and depending on the person being complimented and the person giving the compliment, it can be either wanted or unwanted communication.
    1
  339. wohdin welcome to the patriarchy where women are seen as objects that are identical and of the same mindset with no unique opinions and desires of their own. welcome to the patriarchy where feminists get to oppress women who do want to be cat called under the guise of oppression to those who don't. welcome to the patriarchy where feminism is an extension of the patriarchy that oppresses women and limits what they can and can't do, what they can and can't desire, what they can and cannot accept.
    1
  340. Xanxei than just make sure you communicate that you are "just spreading awareness". you will catch a lot less flack that way and also you will spread your message much more effectively. i may be guilty of getting hysterical over protecting free speech. but i am far from the only guy who does that. i live in a bubble of reasonable people who don't go out of their way to offend people but who defend their right to do so if they did choose to do that. saying "hey YOU shouldn't do that, its not very nice." is a long way away from saying "cat calling is oppression of women". the latter is a call to political action, and the only political action that would be effective would be an attack on free speech. not trying to attack you here. just saying that your original message is easy to confuse with an attack on free speech. instead of calling free speech harassment it would be much more effective if you simply stated you were spreading awareness. doing that might actually get people to consider their actions and change those actions, instead of getting them to turn around and defend offensive speech. i would recommend that you come at it from an awareness message and to make that very clear from the get go if you want your message to amount to real change.
    1
  341. Xanxei well if it means anything to you, a lot of "anti-feminists" are really 2nd wave feminists. they believe that women are strong people and do not need to be sheltered or babied or in any way protected more than a man does. they are our equals.
    1
  342. wohdin they are just as strong as men. we have laws against harassment of men and women. perhaps you mean something other than harassment and are just exaggerating?
    1
  343. Xanxei i guess we are just split on what is and is not harassment. i don't have a problem with women admiring sexy men whether they are celebrities or not. i go to the gym 5-6 days a week. i have a friend who has been doing this much longer than me and he goes to the gym with me. he is an attractive guy. he carries himself well, he drives a nice car, he is taller than average and has a muscular build. women are constantly eyeballing him. they don't cat call him, but they do check him out, some more bluntly than others. every once and a while he will get a minor cat call. we just laugh it up. and he takes it as a compliment, and says it is good reason to go to the gym. taylor swift can't go anywhere without body guards. it is the price she pays for being famous. when you are in the public eye that much you have to worry about the one out of a million people that nobody likes and what they might do to you. its unrealistic to think that nobody would hurt her even though we all agree that nobody should hurt her. what taylor swift has to do is sad. she has to protect herself from motivated psychopaths. she has no intention of motivating those psychopaths, but there she is in the spot light. some people (this isn't limited to men) make terrible decisions and do terrible things. pretty women have to worry too. they don't have to worry as much as taylor swift, but the more people they are exposed too the more danger they are in. at the same time, the more people they are around, the safer they are at the moment. prettier women catch more attention. they have to worry about what that stranger guy might do if he is turned down. in that sense when she is alone, and a guy cat calls her she may have to consider her safety. this is a reasonable fear. i don't go cat calling women that i don't know when they are alone. that could scare them, i understand. i have some friends i made while going to college, some of them are pretty women. many of them are in long term relationships and have been with the same guy for years. one of them is very pretty and is like a little sister to me. she had gained some weight over winter, and recently worked hard to get that weight off. she looks much better, but i don't see her boyfriend who lives with her saying much about it, i think they have been together too long for her to appreciate how pretty she is anymore. i whistled at her during a party where she was around a lot of her family members, and her boyfriend. she smiled at me and gave me a hug and asked how i was doing. cat calls can be good or bad. if you are suggesting i don't cat call strangers, than you don't have to worry. i don't. but i should have the right to do so, because i am smart enough to identify times when it would be appropriate and when it would not. these are times when it is appropriate to cat call a woman. 1) she is around many friends so that she feels safe and secure, 2) she appears to be in a good mood and is not busy or focused on something at the moment, 3) she is dressed up or at least not dressed down (not in the gym, not in pajamas, not in something that she would feel is not attractive on her). 4) it is a social situation where other people are openly talking about how other people look. 5) you have met her before and she already knows your first name. if those 5 things are true, than it is a great time to cat call a woman. or alternatively 1) she is eyeing you up and down. if that is true than it is appropriate to respond with a cat call if you find her attractive as well. you are returning a non-verbal communication that she started. i might do the original cat call whistle (call me old fashioned, but this is the only form of cat all i ever use) maybe one to three times a year. it never fails to elicit a smile and a positive response. but i know who to do it too, and more importantly when. if your stance is that many men are socially inept and stupid than sure i agree with that. many women are as well. unfortunately in our society the onus is on men to start conversations to meet women when starting a romantic relationship. if you want to change society and the cat calling thing, changing that standard would go a long way. it might extinguish the problem all together. but for the moment cat calling occurs to attractive women because men want to meet them and want to attract their attention. the men send a message of "i find you attractive". this is a compliment. it might get annoying, but it is one of the ways that men get the attention of women. there may be better ways to get her attention. but until we change the social norms we cannot possibly blame men for following the social norm of starting the communication to begin a potential romantic relationship while at the same time expecting them to be the pursuers and the women the pursued. and the only way to change that is to have women pursue men. in that manner, the problem isn't that men cat call women, the problem is that women don't cat call men. in japan it is women who are expected to initiate romantic relationships. the women are much more forward than in western cultures. it is the men who must worry about feeling harassed by women using various methods to get their attention. its not so bad over there though because their culture also is very concerned with causing someone else to become embarrassed. many western people go over there to teach english. women don't stay though, the guys don't try to date them. its not their job, in japan it is the woman's job to get the attention of the guy. western women don't seem to be comfortable in that situation, they get turned down too often for their comfort. they usually leave within the first year. meanwhile western guys love it there. you would never have to worry about guys cat calling you in japan. but they might grope you on the subway or take a picture of you just to be nice and let you know that they won't reject you. they aren't trying to embarrass you or make you uncomfortable, they fear doing something that would do that.

  344. +Science and Truth 2 Rock because the government ALWAYS overreaches and illegally infringes on liberties. look at how much they respect the 4th amendment with all the illegal surveillance. look at how much they respect the 1st amendment with the war on whistle blowers. look at how much they respect the 5th amendment with the war on encryption. why would i trust them to to leave the intelligence alone and not ban my gun from ME using it? i would trust that a lot more if they pulled a sudden huge list of apologies and started respecting the constitution and repealing very dirty government behavior. but i somehow doubt that is going to happen. as such a very sad truth is that i must defend myself from my own government, and not allow them a slope to slip down. anything that gives them more power over me than i have over myself is a threat i am not willing to risk.

  347. i strongly agree about having strong encryption. but there are weaknesses in many forms of encryption now. sadly we will have to go to ~4000 bit encryption soon enough, which is not easy to do. if we had a distributed network with ubiquitous strong encryption than they would be very hard to censor and monitor. this would provide much stronger free speech, but within that free speech would be speech deemed illegal by various countries. you can't fight for real free speech without fighting for the types of speech that you are adamantly opposed to the content of that speech.

  351. we hit these targets and the death of white middle aged men has increased. the global goals may help a lot of people, but they tend to do so at the expense of others. white men are dying at a higher rate than they were 15 years ago. this is just comparing men with men, the second you crack the gender card things look much worse. men die at a much greater rate than women. they do not live as long as women. so if we look at social "progress" what we see is that women live longer healthier lives than men, and that white men are getting shafted and are dying as a result. i hope the world in 2015 doesn't still allow for racism against whites, and sexism against men. such forms of predjudism are having the expected results, a decrease in lifespan, an increase in death rates. i hope in 15 years that social "progress" isn't lead by victimizing one group over all others.

  356. People talk about the physical aspects of obesity, but obesity is far worse than just that. Obesity causes relationship harm which leads to social damage. People are less empathetic towards that they are repelled by. They are less kind towards them and more indifferent towards them. This allows for criminal and violent activity to flourish as people are not interested in the welfare of their fellow community members. This also creates demand for human trafficking. These social alterations create some of the most dangerous side effects of the obesity epidemic.

  361. NietzscheanMan When people tell me that genes do not determine everything, I like to point at bananas. Have you ever seen or heard about a genius banana, or a banana making it into the Olympics? The reason you haven't is because bananas don't have the genes to make brains or muscles and skeletons. Genes really are everything. They supply the base required to have variation to begin with. If genes weren't the predominant requirement, than we could reasonably expect to see some bananas that were so well trained that they became Olympic athletes.
    1
  362. The reason you are more complex than a banana is because your genetics are that of a human and not a banana. I am not trying to imply that a banana could grow in a uterus or that a human could grow from a tree. Rather I am saying that your genetics came from your parents which also provided the environment for your development in the womb. It is all genetics. Genetics create humans which in turn have the potential to be many different things. But humans are not bananas, and the reason they are not bananas is genetics, which ultimately is everything.

  363. Iria Eire go look at the twin studies. A lot of behavior, including criminal behavior is strongly coded in the genes. Some people are able to overcome this, but with some behaviors it is almost 100% genes. But lets consider another thing, its not like people sprout wings and fly around breaking the laws on flight zones. This too is genetic. Nearly all humans carry the genes that give them a propensity to be criminals. Most humans are able to overcome these natural inclinations as they grow up. But some people have genes that make overcoming this natural inclination harder than it is for others. I think we need to self segregate and have a plethora of different cultures with free mobility to those other cultures. In this manner people with different inclinations can live as they please as long as they keep those inclinations within the community that is accepting of them. This allows people to have diversity of beliefs and behavior and at the same time keeps the peace by separating the people who have beliefs and behaviors that are in conflict. Live and let live.

Did you know that women are the majority of voters and gain the majority of government financial support while men still pay the majority of taxes. And yet it is women who are the victims and men that are the problem. And you have the audacity to say that I am doing mental gymnastics?

  408.  @MandaB28  Thanks, I am also sorry if you were raped or beaten. There are plenty of horrible abusers out there that say they love you when they really don't know what love even is. I don't mean to undermine the experiences of people who were tragically harmed like that. I just want to point out that people seem to be more resiliant to that than to personal problems stemming from a childhood of growing up with a single mother. Literally, people who were rape victims as children fare better in the long term on average than children raised by single mothers do in the long term on average. Yes some single mothers are great, they are superb people with much greater ability, time, and resources than the majority of single mothers could ever reasonably dream about having. But most single mothers are not that, and it is the exception, not the rule.

It effects men most, but it isn't seen because they are effectively invisible and alone. I hope feminists can find a way to understand it.

Exposing your body invokes primal emotions in people, and they are in that work environment without a choice to remove themselves from your emotional manipulation. There is a reasonable expectation of workers having exposed bodies in certain types of work. The people who chose to work at those types of establishment have de facto consented to being around workers in exposing clothes.

You are more concerned with the future than with the past or the present. You frequently feel emotionally numb. The reason I think this is that concern of the future is related to anxiety. Anxiety is related to increased cortisol production. Cortisol inhibits sleep. Cortisol spikes memory based upon fear and concern, especially hidden dangers. Cortisol also inhibits all emotions that are not based specifically on fear (so feel less pleasure, feel less sadness).

If one person must work for the good of everyone, than shouldn't everyone have to work for the good of everyone? If you code, make your AI benefit you. If people need AI to benefit them, they should be coding AI or hiring people to code AI.

  439.  @oggyboggy8692  if you eat nothing, it is offset by 10 immigrants who come in and eat more. Literally EVERYTHING that has to do with consumption effects on the environment is an immigration issue. As of 2016 the US birth rate is under 13 per 1000 people. 21 per 1000 is replacement rate. This means our population should be shrinking. Less people eating has a much larger impact than more people changing thier diets.

  447. I agree, but I would also like to see sunset dates on laws. That is to say that the law is the law but has an expiration date. If in the future people don't vote to maintain the law, then the law gets dropped. How many crappy laws are still in effect because there is no good clean way to get rid of them? For instance, the copyright laws were intended to encourage innovation, but those old laws were written poorly and are now used to stifle innovation. If we had sunset laws, the copyright laws would have to be reinstated by the people, meaning that the laws would actually have to serve the people in order to stay the law.

Would you like me to link you some of the very easy to find public webpages posted by the state of California on their own cloud seeding programs? I couldn't tell you the name of the group because I am bad with names, but there was a group that was seeding fine grain iron powder into the oceans as well. But if it rains here, then it won't rain there where it would have rained had you not seeded it to rain here. And farms east of California get screwed a little from time to time. Its a net negative, but some benefit at the expense of others. It's a band-aid not a cure.

  473. You are not born with your IQ in the same way that boys are not born with facial hair. But it is still the genetic traits passed on by your parents that leave you with a high IQ or lots of facial hair. It just takes time to grow into a point of development where high IQ or lots of facial hair occurs. Your statement of not being born with it is misleading. Genetics play the primary role in high IQ. IQ does change over time, and mostly this is genetic as well, such as people being genetically predisposed to dementia. Competent school systems can only do so much. The very high success people were born naturally bright on top of having competent school systems. You need both if you want to be one of the best.

  474.  @Arcanineisthebest  Twin studies show that you are wrong. Your IQ is your genetic legacy, schools and environment play a MUCH smaller role than your parents do.

  476.  @paolaalexandra483  taxation is membership dues for citizenship to the country. Don't like them, join another country. But that is just taxes. I don't believe that taxes will solve climate change. Instead we need to encourage the public to adopt individual actions that help solve climate change. We could stop importing immigrants from countries that have very small greenhouse footprints into countries that have very large greenhouse footprints. We could move manufacturing from unregulated or poorly regulated to more tightly regulated countries, perhaps offering tax breaks in order to offset the additional expense of the movement. We could encourage people to buy local made goods so as to avoid the pollution created by international shipping. Made in America is green, and we should have products that are made here in our country labeled as such.

Although cognitive behavioral therapy does encourage you to share your experiences, the narrative framing is more about other people and less about yourself. People follow simple motivations, your paranoia will continue until you learn to narrate reasonable motivations for people rather than menacing narratives for them. Sometimes you will be wrong, but most often you will be right. You got to question your own narrative of other people. Most people are self interested and generally kind at a superficial level. I recommend sharing your experiences with someone that you are emotionally invested in, rather than a crowd of strangers that you can easily push away. Also write them down, and write them down until you don't have nightmares so frequently anymore.

  505. "but really its the big businesses with no regulation." - And they do this by moving production from regulated countries to non-regulated countries. China is by far the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter. Every time developed nations increase regulation and restriction, it pushes companies to move their production to unregulated countries. In this fashion, and in an ironic sort of way, increasing regulations in developed nations actually creates more greenhouse gasses.
    1
  506.  @richardhelger858  You would almost think it might be partially curbed with the increase costs of moving production into regulated developed nations instead of unregulated undeveloped nations with dirt cheap labor. Big corporations intentionally move production into unregulated poor countries so that they can use cheap labor and cheap dirty energy. The same globalists that are calling for carbon taxes in developed nations are investors in corporations who do the majority of the polluting. And then to top it off, because of this we have increased use of international shipping, using those big ships that use massive amounts of the cheapest and dirtiest fuel possible. Go look into how much greenhouse gasses those big boats put out.

  512. Their are rich people who invest in sending people to destabilize a country which in turn gets people to try and leave the country. This creates immigration, often providing cheap labor to the country that the rich people live in and do business in. These immigrants are the primary cause of population growth over the last 30 years or so. They have larger families and more children per family and this skews the averages. Most western countries have been in population decline for the last 30 years. When immigrants move to a country with a small greenhouse footprint to one with a large greenhouse footprint, and bring children there, it causes increase of greenhouse gas emission in an environment that would have naturally had greenhouse gas reduction. This is the primary driver of manmade climate change in developed nations. The people who push for more immigration and the people who have allowed or created demand for it in the past are to blame for man made climate change. The immigrants themselves were victims of a these powerful people.

  520.  @suicune2001  Then do it quietly. Regulate using it in advertising but also use the things that do reduce emissions. Know what will happen to beef prices if seaweed were not a monopoly, and was widely available and was required as part of a methane reduction plan? Beef prices would go up, fewer people would pay so much for it, and methane reductions would occur both on the side of people who stopped buying it and people who chose to pay more because they valued it. But attacking the beef industry and saying to go vegan? If you wanted that to work, you had to start 4 generations ago. If you want cooperation at all from people who aren't going to give up steak anytime soon, you will have to start with cooperating with them. Cooperation is not one sided, and there are a very large number of people who will disobey orders from on high simply over the principle that they don't agree that those people can give those orders. You turn addressing a problem into a new political problem with the original problem still there by using your methods. You don't have to believe me, go ahead and look at recent history. Your strategy will lead to greater climate change because you were not flexible in your path to address it.
