Success is more important than talent. Success pays the bills better.

Sometimes you need to call out media sensationalism. That barely was a slap. It definitely wasn’t injurious, powerplay maybe, locally it may even be judged playful.

Western sensitivity doesn’t always translate well globally.

Well you can only do so much, and a denier will come and fuck everything up. Oil and coal companies will pay billions to keep the propaganda going - that the earth is just fine.

Other than a uniform collective action as a species we have no hope to turn this around. And since I don’t see that happening anytime soon I would rather stick to my “Doomerism”.

To be honest, we are fucking up the planet at an exponentially faster rate, so it is natural that mitigation solutions seems exponentially crazier.

Israel cannot let Palestinians live as human beings because they out-number the Israelis.
