    Thank you Meliai.
    It wouldn’t do for us to all be the same.
    And that’s a fact!

    it's hard to explain what i mean, but i hope you both know me well enough to know i don't play devil's advocate (except when useful) or debate insincerely...

    it's more like.. how I know Boris Johnson does not stand for the world I would want, yet I absolutely and sincerely am happy with him as our current prime minister, because I like him, I like his energy. I want to remain part of the EU, but I absolutely and sincerely don't think it matters either way, in the long run... it's part of a society that i see as a make believe construct that I can't take wholly seriously anyway. I take the environment very seriously, but if faced with people like VG, or people who post pictures of lots of straws being used, it doesn't upset or anger me. I'd rather respond to that with a smile and a shrug. Because really, getting upset and taking THAT kind of thing seriously won't help.

    Anyway, Greta.
    She's very cute, I thought today. She has a very cute face.

    I do not see this mass extinction event happening. all I see are leftists trying to promote this idea. for what purpose I still don't know, unless it's being done to gain control of the world economy. one world, one religion, one law, one government. a global rule. don't like it.

    What do you expect it to look like?
    Don't you think the Right want to gain control of the world economy and one world, one religion, one law etc too?

    It seems to me it's often the Right who dislike other cultures and religions.

    The 6th mass extinction is absolutely happening and there is ample proof it is primarily human driven, @onceburned

    I do know that. I actually wasn't really sure what you meant because I've never seen you play devil's advocate just for the sake of it, so thanks for clarifying what you meant. And I agree, sometimes you just have to laugh and not get bent out of shape about things

    Anyways your post made me think of members here who do frequently argue without really caring about or believing the things they say. Your post made me think of them and I just sort of went off on my own tangent with it

    Its not stupid to find him sympathetic but I'm sorry, it is stupid to be happy with him as prime minister only because you find him sympathetic. His functioning on that position should count there at least as much and it is abysmal so far.

    Have you checked out the honeybee population lately? Do you understand what would happen to agriculture if the bees go away? Your motto seems to be, when in doubt, invent a conspiracy theory to explain away inconvenient truths.

    Can you think of a single time where you have accused a person of playing devils' advocate when they are coming from a position you agree with though?

    You are hardly going to be objective on matters pertaining to the EU are you?

    That's 40% of the country, who believe politics are school ground bully affairs. My work is in providing them with the most insane bullies they can ask for, whatever their little evil hearts desire, using AI with lie detectors and fact checkers, that allow them to imitate the mocking void if you really want. A mirror into their own dark souls, that will encourage them to die faster and reproduce less often, with a smirk on their face, thanks to the video gaming and porn industries. Living right is the best revenge, especially when you can sell complete idiots their own bullshit and watch them gag on it.

    I'm on the last chapter right now, but the idea is that living right is the best revenge, and these idiots are so stupid they pay extra for the privilege to die younger and reproduce less often. The same analog logic can be used to support humanity or destroy your own soul.

    Well they wouldnt be playing devil's advocate with me in that case
    So I'll leave it up to the person they're annoying to accuse them of such things

    You're just playing devil's advocate right now anyways ;) you're the king of it. Pretending someone has to know exactly how many honey bees there are in order to understand colony collapse

    Nature is self-organizing, magical, but all magic is not created the same and we need to bridge magic with technology in ways that are incomprehensible. The AI in development are where the rabbit hole becomes indistinguishable from Wonderland and somewhere over the tornado!
