I fucking love Adam. I wondered where he went. Thanks!

Where was I to find the info on this? I’d like to go if another is held.

Update: I found the link for it at the bottom of the article. It’s a german event, also.

I agree. They’re not intrinsically related, there is a tiny overlap due to a schism in transhumanist thought. I consider myself a natural transhumanist. Usual transhumanism is entirely cyberpunk territory.

Finally. Jesus fucking christ, took them long enough to do something useful with these sites.

This is more specific to capitalism than just corporatism but I do agree with you.

That anybody can disagree with this is truly flabbergasting. China should not be the sole decider of whether our planet lives or dies. I don’t… I don’t get how anyone, even the Chinese, can disagree with that.

Update: I think it’s the petrochemical industry. They’ve corrupted all the green energy focused subs here super badly from what I’ve seen so far. I think we’ve caught their attention already - which may actually be a good sign. We must be doing something effective enough to warrant it.

A good solution to this is for less dependency on them. This is the nature of them taking too much, and that’s just… really not going to work out great for them, nor anyone.

I am constantly dumbfounded how many of the highly capitalist nations pretend to have such a focus on family when it’s so clear that they care so little about them. More time working = less time with your family. They also push for bigger families too, so that individual children receive even less attention. It’s so weird.

I get where you’re coming from. It’s a tandem tech and should stay in that consideration. It’s a diversity of tactics in the fight against petrochems. That industry is too big for just one avenue, at least of the ones we currently have.

I agree it provides a more regular “stream” of energy. I think perhaps this focus on having regular unlimited energy at all times of night and day is a little unnecessary. People do sleep, and they should sleep during the night for maximum health, based on research. I find energy storage an important aspect of sustainability. We should have storage regardless of the system. I’m not against using it, all I said was it’s not my favorite.

I missed this survey. I find the gender demographics intriguing. I’m unsure why this survey was so very male-dominated. That’s really something to ponder about. Is it an internet issue, or is it something about the ideology itself? Are women in some way being restricted from solarpunk thought? This is phenomena of note in leftism, as well. I find it very perplexing, especially considering the shared goal of equality in these ideologies. I cannot believe women wouldn’t be incredibly attracted to solarpunk, it can quite seriously be summed up with one word: care. If women aren’t at least equal in their interest in the ideology, it seems to me something is very wrong. Thanks for doing the survey though. Nice to see what’s going on in the community, statistically.

I don’t really think it is especially in comparison to petrochemicals, but hydroelectric dams also isn’t my favorite green energy. They displace too much matter while also reducing the wildlife of the project area for me to feel comfortable with it. I think perhaps there’s further ways water could be used to make electricity that are underestimated or even unknown. I like “old-school” hydroelectrics, watermills. In my opinion this is an example really of individualistic green energy being a better environmental decision on the whole. Such will reduce the damage of our energy needs. Power to the people.

Seems relevant /shrug

Speaking of ACP, the affordable connectivity program just recently got cut.

I didn’t realize grass had reached such an advanced evolution. Obviously it must be exterminated. (/s)

So, so many people are going to die. The current upper class is making all the mass murderers of the past look like specks, and yet, I don’t see any more protests than I ever did. It’s… truly surreal.

Guess I have to like NASA taking my money so they can go fuck up space while they help fuck up our planet, now that I got dislikes. What will happen if people don’t like me hating an agency designed to waste assets? Oh, that’s right. You’ll get what you fucking deserve. Win-win.

Mixed market (socialism) still sucks ass in the long run. What I’ve seen of the situation in the EU the last decade has proven to me that it’s a pipe dream. It’s better than just capitalism, but it’s not enough. It’s weak to fascism (authoritarian capitalism). You wanna take meat off the menu? Seize production. It’s well past the time for half measures, especially if intending on policies like this.

I agree. As a metaphor, we have to fix the foundation or the house is destined to collapse. Don’t get me wrong, clean energy is an important step. I approve of people trying to help, even if that attempt may unfortunately be rooted in personal greed. The problem is people are using that help to obfuscate the root issues, which are hierarchy and capitalism. Ignorance isn’t bliss. It’s death.
