@elonmusk pretty bad film

[Noam Blum @neontaster]

Robert Eggers' commitment to making his films unapproachable is unironically commendable. Make your art, king.

Robert Eggers confirms that the dialogue in ‘WERWULF’ is all 1300s Middle English.

“We worked with 2 Oxford professors on the dialogue, which is in Middle English, & then worked with a dialect coach on a way to temper the pronunciation”

@AdamPollock @tomhfh Yes and that happened just as she became an SNP MP. Amazing!

You can run with this premise and the conclusion remains absurd.

The UK has rapidly decarbonised already. It has made no difference, because the UK's share of carbon emissions was already statistically insignificant — which is only becoming more true over time.

We could hit Net Zero. We could hit negative carbon. Nothing would change, because China and India exist, and they do not give a damn about our political gestures.

(This is evidenced by their emissions increasing almost as quickly as our political gestures have proliferated, and over the same timeframe.)

No amount of decarbonisation in the UK will make any difference to summer temperatures. This is not an ethical or an ideological point - I like the environment, I dislike excessive heat - it is a mathematical one.

All it does is make us poorer and less able to adapt to the new reality.

A policy of increasing carbon emissions would, paradoxically, improve our climate resilience, because we'd be able to afford basic infrastructure like air conditioning while adding nothing of note to global emissions.

The only reason this is not widely accepted is that political environmentalism is a virtue cult. It has no interest in climate science, it has no interest in tangible outcomes, it is entirely concerned with allowing mediocrities to play act saving the world.

@chessiebobs Yes a terrible self defeating dead end attitude that just creates misery. They're just as bad as those who are trying to force maximum diversity no matter the cost

While we are doing our autopsies of Keir Starmer’s unimpressive premiership, I’d like to suggest he is a prime example of a certain personality type that causes us problems.

He has been a high achiever his whole life. From the 11+ onwards he passed tests and ascended every hierarchy he found himself in. This, I believe, shaped his worldview in a way that made him absolutely unsuited for the office.

For Starmer, you accept the rules of the system, you play the game, and when you win you get rewards. Number 10 was just the last objective that he earned by mechanically playing society like a video game - it was his by right for ticking all the boxes correctly.

His visible confusion and inability to grasp the job of actual leadership is, I think, a result of never having had to deal with the world beyond whichever social game he was playing at the time. Law is such a bounded game where a rigid, goal oriented thinker like Starmer can and did thrive.

A better leader would be someone who has some experience doing something which contacts base reality, where outcomes are not socially determined. Business, STEM, the military etc all fall into this category. Those people who spend their careers in the purely social feedback loops of law and politics do I think make poor leaders even if they excel at the process that gets them to the leadership.

The UK prime minister job is a poisoned chalice bc they rely on the boomer vote to get elected but basically everything needed to fix the country requires cutting back on boomer benefits and preferences
