@Dr_Tad He might do that. Has some Rudd vibes about him. But I remain skeptical

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Empty_America Where do you see academics in the job hierarchy?

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@haravayin_hogh I mean, it's true. They do hate him. But you can always find a few

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Dr_Tad @Peggysknapsack I think there are only so many ways to interpret 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States'. Not an American, but I do understand the worry. If they want birth rights, change the law..

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Dr_Tad I've always felt that's a better argument for the energy transition than the moral argument anyway. If you want (almost) limitless (almost) free energy, it's going to be renewable

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@mtracey A world where having nukes means you can do whatever you want due to escalation risks is a much more dangerous world

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Dr_Tad And yet, as brexit proves, if you remove the concrete benefits of the European project, it's incredibly unpopular

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@haravayin_hogh And yet similar dynamics in Iran to the west. Lots of anti immigrant sentiment, but needed in construction etc because the locals don't want to do it

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Dr_Tad Otoh, brexit was basically boomers. I'd say the picture is more complex at least.

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@DrewHolden360 And yet, as I understand, the latest research actually still suggests a natural origin

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@haravayin_hogh @iron_redux That's a worrying thought...

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@haravayin_hogh @iron_redux Nothing about the deal is what Israel wants, so I'm not sure what they could do about it.

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@haravayin_hogh @iron_redux I think the more interesting question will be the status of Iran being a "normal" country again

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@airkatakana @marclou Makes little sense to me. Similar dynamic with coffee (of all things). Korea makes some of the best coffee in the world, yet so many people here drink Starbucks 🤷

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Empty_America Outside of teacher-student stuff, I don't think it's a taboo so much as 'why would you take your work home with you when you don't have to'. A function of technology letting you meet people you wouldn't have been able to before

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@DaudReaboi I also like both, but Romania too is pretty great.

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Empty_America A lot of ugly postwar Germany (I'm thinking Ruhrgebeit) has culture

[LandOfTheMorningSwan @themorningswan]

@Dr_Tad What bothers me is that the over selling has possibly actually made climate change worse.. Still a problem that needs to be fixed
