  • Just insulting people will always make them buck against your points, however valid and informed. Bad approach.

    The problem with radioactive waste isn’t the fact that it’s dangerous now, it’s the fact that it remains dangerous for much longer than we’re even remotely able to plan for. People will likely have to deal with that danger in waaaay longer than civilization has existed on earth so far.

    So the horizontal borehole for instance: amazing idea for the next century - or even, heck, few millenia!! - but how do you make sure our ancestors in 50,000 years never drill a new borehole right there?














  • If the original sexist behaviour was typically done by women to other women just as often as by men, the gender of the perpetrator wouldn’t matter,.

    Fact of the matter is that this kind of shutting women up and taking down to them is overwhelmingly done by men.

    That’s true in the business world, academic world, etc.

    Considering this, this is a key piece of information about the situation, not a sexist way to blame men.
