The test will be if flying decreases. Here I am in Melbourne because MS Teams just isn’t the same.

It's taken me many years, but in the past month I've changed position on this. Elon and others were way ahead. I hope @Jack checks the science and doesn't stay wedded to short form.

Question to vegetarians and vegans:   Do you check how many animals die in your supply chain?   Consider eating Kanga. They are in plague, and being shot and piled up and burned.   Might as well eat them. No farming.

A lot of harm has come from the fetishization of the Good Samaritan. GS might have saved one dude. But failed to call authorities, start a community intervention for bandits or even put up a ‘don’t travel alone’ warning sign. Parable of the Talents does more for me. #UseYourGifts

There's almost no bigger lie than a comparison that leaves out all the context, and paints a black and white 2D picture of a 4D rainforest. Worse still, a compliance demand often follows.
