Welcome to Twitter!
A whole world of arrogant axiomatic absolutes and unexamined epistemic assumptions overlaying unconscious affective postures competing for attention which is harvested for $$$.
And I wouldn't have it any other way!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if infrastructure like this 👇 gets blown up, as of this moment it will take at least a decade to recover from this war - and the truth is that the world's energy picture is probably changed forever.
This single facility 👇produced roughly 20% of global LNG supply (https://t.co/76QERytREH) and, as of 2011, had taken $70 billion to build (https://t.co/iZvv2SvxBe).
What makes this even worse is that Iran's strike on this was retaliation after Israel attacked their South Pars gas field which draws from the same natural gas reservoir, which is the world's largest by far (9,700 km² - about the size of Qatar itself).
Heck, on the list of the 25 largest natural gas fields (https://t.co/m5TmQ2Zkc8) this single reservoir holds roughly 40% of their combined recoverable reserves - and is nearly 6 times bigger than the 2nd biggest field in the world. And, unlike many of the others on the list, it's only at 10% depletion (meaning 90% of the gas is still there).
Which means that, probably for many years, a huge share of the gas from the world's largest reservoir simply won't be extractable, as infrastructure on both sides - Qatar's and Iran's - has now been blown up.
From a global energy supply perspective, we're deep into worst-case scenario territory.
Australia’s fuel crisis is the fault of bipartisan governments who have stopped thinking of the sovereign interest, and leave us in a precarious position while supporting the war that got us here.
I don’t know what it will look like but it’s clear that there needs to be a new form of international, institutional and governmental coordination & cooperation for people interested in preventing the end of the world.
@pop_mycology This is such an insane claim. I tire of this guy being used as any kind of authority. There are some good papers showing how academically dishonest he is.
@aspiringpeasant Good book, his version of therapy (somatic) is extremely helpful. Great for overthinkers or talkers. Straight to the source in the body.
@psychgeist52 I've seen lots of prominent voices draw on twin studies to make outlandish claims such as these. There are lots of issues here, not only with the studies themselves but that one also has to ignore the plethora of literature in other fields which claim the diametric opposite.
@reeesh24 Reading Stolorow and Atwood is always helpful for me, in this regard.
"there are no objective or neutral analysts, no immaculate perceptions (Nietzsche, 1892), no God's-eye views."
Fantastically important if one wishes to understand how CO2/GHG reductionism is a bourgeois grift: the Environmentalism of the Rich! #capitalocene#capitaloceno
People are ideologically captured by their affective and moral intuitions and siloed into different worldviews. I get all that... but I still wonder how anyone with an IQ above 45 can find Douglas Murray even remotely compelling.
@DoctorPerin@smod4real Freud's accomplishments are now self evident to the point that we easily reject the parts of his work that don't.. work. In other words, Freud is unconscious.
