“Cognitive diabetes” is what modern technology is doing to our brains, @stewart told me at #WSJFutureFest. He compares it to what modern farming did to waistlines. He’s optimistic we’ll figure it out. (1 of 3)
It's hard to acknowledge that our actions are responsible for climate change because that makes us the "bad guys" - and no one wants to be a bad guy!
So much easier to blame sunspots or secret military experiments, as these tantalizing myths absolve us of all responsibility.
@Noahpinion Also, there’s software+sensors to move demand to when there is intermittent supply. Remember there’s an enormous energy storage reserve in existing heat in buildings etc. Software demand steering at MC=0 and very low init. cost will form the first part of the storage supply curve
Since the past six stories from Trump&Cohen about the Stormy payment have all turned out to be a lie, and since until last night none of Trump's other attorneys had even heard of this newest story, why are we going through this charade of acting like this new story might be true?
