Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

Then he gets pissed off over addressing some people not by their birth gender pronouns.......

All the best,
Nonoise
Or more accurately, took exception to the Canadian government telling him he was required to address people by a specific pronoun. I'm not in favor of quashing free speech. It's one of our amendments immediately south of Canada.

millercarbon you are right...

I will only say that he is not stupid at least...

But the greatest thinker of this times cannot be very known, by definition his idea are not accessible to us poor brains... :)

Sorry I cannot resist to tease you with a grain of salt...
Virtually every hour Peterson has talked in class or on stage is up for viewing for free on YouTube. When the Canadian government began consideration of Bill C-16 Peterson rightly was concerned and made a video which brought to light the fact this is the first time in history a western government has made a law compelling speech. Not banning, compelling. With criminal penalties. 

They passed it into law but Peterson was right. If any of your unhinged claims was actually true no one would have listened. Not then. Not now. Its because every word out of his mouth is true that people listen. He is now uncontestably the foremost intellectual on the world stage today. No one else even comes close.



Peterson is an opportunistic scam artist, taking advantage of the gullible.
Granted, he’s a right smart psychologist and a leader in his field of personality traits, cited more than 10,000 time but not a peep after 2010.
I dont want to say nothing else than citing your own words and called for a bit of thinking about that citation...Deep thinking..... :)


I am sorry , and I really dont want to offend you, nor Djones at all...But we must think before excommunicating people...


By the way the other affirmation of yours is totally false...I dare not to correct it, you must by yourself if you cares about truth...

Then he gets pissed off over addressing some people not by their birth gender pronouns and then he’s off to the races.

hint: Peterson oppose to law intervention in language.... WHY ?

second hint:  do you remember an important article of US constitution law?

Then he gets pissed off over addressing some people not by their birth gender pronouns and then he’s off to the races. That took until 2016 and he saw and took his chance.

Because of his notoriety, he earns about $80,000 a month thru his Patreon account and on YouTube. To quote him directly:
"I shouldn’t say this, but I’m going to, because it’s just so goddamn funny I can’t help but say it: I’ve figured out how to monetize social justice warriors,” Peterson told the podcast host Joe Rogan. “If they let me speak, then I get to speak, and then I make more money on Patreon ... if they protest me, then that goes up on YouTube, and my Patreon account goes WAY up.”
This guy has figured out how to milk his audience (of suckers) for all their worth. It’s worth noting though that the viewership on YouTube is not made up of SJWs but his boy toy rabid followers.

You’re starting to sound like a lobster

And you’re starting to sound like Cathy Griffin.
And we all know how that turned out. So clueless. So utterly clueless.
You got me! Priceless!

I am a lobster who like to read... :) Dont be so irritate, we only speak our ideas... My best to you... 
You're starting to sound like a lobster mahgister, pre school thinking. Adios 
Peterson does not deny climate change at all...Perhaps you must listen to before typing ? :)


I am certain that he knows very well the apocalyptic fact i speak about that is the insects decline for example...His point is : How can we unite humanity pragmatically speaking ? He says that directly confronting climate change is not so simple, easy or realist... He makes a point...And I think that the most important thing now is a way to create a more conscious unified humanity... A universal program to nourish and educate seems to me relatively easy to makes happen and low cost...


And by the way this classification of reality between right and left is total blindness except for historical understanding... Try other categories and concepts...Kindergarten thinking is not mandatory even in politics or in economics...Right winger and left winger are so stupid they look like brothers... Awaking is necessary, and letting go of binaries thinking...
Peterson is not an idiot, except for those who cannot read his main book, not the best selling one by the way, the other one...

His advice to nourish humanity and educate it, is pretty much the only one planned solution for developing a collective conscious goal oriented humanity... This is astonishing when you think that making that happen will not cost so big money compared to the armed forces budget of only one nation (guess which one? ). His citation of Bjorn Lomberg is interesting...

For the "American thinker" reference I am not very interested tough… :)

But thanks builder3 for the video...
I am out of this thread this is truly depressing. When right wing conspiracy  websites and insane white supremacists like Peterson are used to as arguments denying climate change it's  time to just walk away. 
So now you're attributing ideas to me that I never voiced? What an interesting debate. Please point out again how difficult it will be to have a "discussion" with me. Probably close to the time to start calling me derogatory names, I imagine. Great talk.
Did you read wikipedia on how carbon credits actually  really work? Oh and the earth isn't  6000 years old and there was no world wide flood. Freaking insanity.
Peterson the idiot who claims women want to be dominated and says we should force monogamy? Seriously? 
For heavens sake, djones, Wikipedia?? the site where anyone can go write anything?
lol
For heavens sake builder3, American Thinker ?? Really? The site that reports conspiracy theories and pseudoscience? If you want to understand  how carbon credits help reduce emissions try wikipedia. This is worse than trying to discuss evolution with creationists.

There are legitimate concerns here and need to be either accepted or dismissed based on facts. Unfortunately the response comes as personal insults and name calling and not debating facts.

There you go. Ask yourself this, people. If man-made climate change is such an impending catastrophe, why would the government propose that gigantic industries be allowed to purchase some "carbon credits", to the tune of hundreds of millions, or billions, of dollars, rather than address the "issue"?

It is not necessary to look for apocalyptic information in bible or in some fools sectarian delirium, left or right...

National geographic is not Nature, but it is not religious stuff no more than it is sectarian prophecies...

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/02/why-insect-populations-are-plummeting-and-why-it-...

If insects decline does not alert you, change your field of study, or better, enjoy life and quit science; audio field is a good idea tough, not too complicated, but anyway a bit more complicated than we all think, nevermind, we can all fuck... :)
You forgot to mention: Blood, Frogs, Lice, Wild Beasts, Pestilence, Skin Disease, Hail, Locusts, Darkness. etc.

As for the real modeling predictions, I have to go back to my favorite site that looks at everything, especially what the naysayers say (and so should all of us)
:https://skepticalscience.com/ipcc-global-warming-projections.htm

That site is a great source for those who’d like to educate themselves and cut through all the BS. Your googling fingers will thank you.

You mean the flooding and firestorms and millions of animals dying from those floods and fires  and species going extinct that's happening now?
Right. And those would be the models that predicted firestorm, flood and extinction.... how many years ago?
@oregonpapa Frank a single day's weather is what we call statistically a small sample size. Not to be confused with years of climate research and statistical modeling.
Steve Goddard, Tony Heller, which is it? Seems the same man is using both names. Is it because he's been thoroughly discredited under his real name so now he has to use an alias?

Can't wait until Tom Selleck wears out his welcome scamming the elderly out of their homes as he'd make for a great climate denier spokesman. He's straight outta central casting and oh, so trustworthy. Oh, and he had to make amends for stealing public water to save his avocado trees because as we all know, it's just a hoax.

Imagine someone going so far as to hire some goons in what could be confused to be a public utility vehicle, hook it up to a hydrant and steal  thousands of gallons of water. Repeatedly. Since he denies global warming, why didn't he just wait until the next year? It all goes in cycles, right?

Extreme weather is a manifestation of CC. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to see the future. The Middle East, the American Midwest, Australia, California, Europe. Think of the polar bears. Think of the Kualas.
"How much? As much as volcanoes? No not even close. As much as plants? No not even close. Skipping on down the list we find that of all the sources of CO2 human beings just aren’t a significant factor."
It seems that one drop can never spill over the glass. It also seems that humans do not have priorities straightened out yet. First plug the volcanoes, then kill the plants, and when you fix everything on the list that was before humans’ impact, it may be time to deal with what was easier to deal with before plugging those volcanoes. Good approach.
Tony Heller the birther guy? Is that even his real name?

Just said when you don’t have the facts you attack the man, and boom, instantly, attack the man.

Its like in the movies, the hero is shooting zombies left and right but they just keep coming because, hello! Zombies!

"It was supposed to snow late night into this morning but when I woke nada, just wetness and rain."

Interesting observation. Who was the "scientist" that predicted snow? I hope their not on TV predicting that the planet will die in twelve years.

Tony Heller the birther guy? Is that even his real name? I think he is part of the reason YouTube started putting warnings on videos.
@mcslipp We are indeed on my friend and once again DC gets jobbed! IT was supposed to snow late night into this morning but when I woke nada, just wetness and rain. Looking forward to some good tunes and that amp shootout!
What treat? Ice cream? Unifying  Collective Consciousness with a common goal???  Thinking snow flakes?? 
Wow did this thread get derailed (even after an admin peepee slap).

In any event @jond it's currently snowing on the mountain 1 hr west of DC, hope we're still on to spin some tunes tomorrow. The good news is if millercarbon's next coming of the Cambrian Explosion happens we're 3 miles from the Mt. Weather Bunker...

Also... in an attempt to bring this back to the OP's comment- I completely understand what you're saying when I'm out doors/in the woods - the silence is glorious. Unfortunately inside we're beholden to HVAC, fridges kicking on, etc... I pay it no mind, those that can't enjoy music w/o complete solitude/prefect settings are never-to-be-happy crumudgeons.
Any treat, whatsoever the treat, never mind the treat, or the real causes behind a treat, the most important thing that eclipse all the rest, is a unifying collective consciousness with a common goal...Arguing about detailed precise causes is good for creating science, or destroying the topic on a forum, but a long way to the essential... :)

The snow flakes can ask about where comes the cold or the heat, or can think about the signification of their hexagonal form, the same form with not one identical tough...They cannot change the cold or heat phenomena, coming from their activity in certain zones, less in others one, but they can unite in thinking....Hexagonal geometry is universal after all...

Hexagonal geometry is best for sound....

Only some fact among numerous others :

I am back on the topic.... :)
DDT was never banned worldwide  only in the US when did millions die in the US from  this ban? 
Human activity has contributed close to 33% of CO2 since the start of the industrial  revolution.  Source NASA. 
Other contributors,  water vapor, methane,  nitrous oxide all caused by natural and human activity. We can't  control natural we can control human. 

And as for anything Tony Heller puts out: https://skepticalscience.com/search.php?t=c&Search=Steve+Goddard

The guy is a quack, but one of a soft spoken nature, meant to sooth and lull.

All the best,

The facts of DDT were already mentioned: banning it cost millions of lives.
And there, in this very sentence, you have it. Despite the facts of the situation at the link above disproving it, this zombie lie continues to lumber along, like locomotor ataxia, ever ready and willing to spread the lie to another, uniformed audience, in the hopes of someone, anyone, falling for it.

To think that that motivates one to do what they do.....

Los Angeles has been expanding into arid land for decades, leading to a water crises that's really hitting its stride and 3 hour commuting being the norm. I also lived in L.A. as a kid and the smog was insane, but the improvement in L.A. air quality has been an astonishing triumph of science and regulation which forced emission standards on reluctant car companies...amazing. The indigenous Chumash "Angelenos" called the L.A. basin "the valley of smoke" so the ability to trap pollution goes way back.
The facts of DDT were already mentioned: banning it cost millions of lives.

The facts of manmade global warming- CO2 is indeed a greenhouse gas. Humans do indeed produce a lot of it. How much? As much as volcanoes? No not even close. As much as plants? No not even close. Skipping on down the list we find that of all the sources of CO2 human beings just aren't a significant factor.

Believe me, you don't want to argue the facts. Bjorn Lomborg, founder of Greenpeace, look it up, was given a position at a prestigious university where he sent a whole army of grad students out to gather the evidence to prove to the world just how big a global crisis we face. His army came back and you know what? Its not a crisis. What we need most is clean water. Sanitation. CO2 and climate are so far down the list as to not even be on it.

For having the temerity to report these FACTS Bjorn Lomborg has been un-personed.

Because warmists always argue the man. Never the facts. They don't have the facts. Not even.
Like the facts of DDT...or was that argue the woman instead of the facts... The fact is the climate is changing and human activity is contributing to it. That's  the fact from every scientific group studying it. The only difference  between them is how much are humans contributing and how much time before coastal cities are under water and dry areas have turned to desert causing mass migration, wars and strife over limited resources. That's  the facts but hey let's ignore all that after all the smart people know it's  just a Chinese hoax ha..ha...ha those stupid environmental  nuts are being played...right?

Indeed. Its the Golden Rule for Lawyers: When you don't have the facts, argue the man.

They don't have the facts. So they argue the man.

Indeed. Make the government the enemy and the corporations will come to the rescue. So rather than have "of the people, by the people, for the people," a cohort of the citizens seem to want a quasi-oligarchic dictatorship with someone at the helm of equal intelligence to themselves.
Wonderfully stated. It’s why we’re in the predicament we presently find ourselves in.

I will suggest a key word : participative democracy...
The Greeks tried that. They drew lots to fill positions for civil service on a yearly basis. That way it involved everyone. When it came to be your turn, you did your civic duty. Those that didn’t were called idiota.

It’s where we get the word "idiot" from. Heh, wasn’t our present system founded on that very same concept? And, why are there those who decry our participation in government through our directly elected representatives, falsely calling it "big government"?

We had the largest and most successful rise in the middle classes and it scared the hell out of the elite. That’s when the mantra that government is bad for you came about and what do know.....some bought into that crap. It was made all the easier to believe because it was race based: one of the easiest ways to sway the small minded since it was always there.

One academic likened our present society to a football stadium with it’s own right and left wings represented on the field. It’s the one that Reagan built. The one before it was the one that FDR built. He went into more detail but I’ll cut to the chase: we need a new stadium.

Global consciousness sounds nice in theory. Unfortunately political and financial necessity trump nice thoughts. Close your eyes and 💋 your 🍑 goodbye! 👋 Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “but the Congress is the representative of the people.”

The biggest problem is to create a new concept of money ( that problem is solved but this is not very known)...The communication problem ( local small community distant from more distant participating one ) is now solved...


To be on topic: Let imagine that the constant creation of SNOW and his constant melting process is an able metaphor for a new creative process,a living new concept of money that does not accumulate without melting progressively and which value correlate in his variation to real economic work ...

I am vey proud to be on topic.... :)



Participative democracy is older than socialism or capitalism and yes has rarely  been used the Paris Commune and anarchists during the Spanish revolution are two examples that come to mind. Marx and Engels were influenced by participative democracy  from the Paris Commune in the 19th century  and George Orwell in the 20th from the Spanish civil war. The biggest problem is getting enough people involved a more recent small example was the Occupy movement who used a participative model.
