Suspended on twitter because of my name, “Elon Gates”.
Game theory, economics, sustainability and the role of shared beliefs. Towards a Post-humanism.
Call yourself “Elon Gates” though and you get cancelled for “impersonation”.

He’s a very fragile billionaire 😂

How much tax did the orphan calf and its broken hearted mother pay?

We are also calling on TfL to act on polluting advertising across the transport network, following tobacco ad bans of the past.

It’s time to end polluting sponsorships and advertising across all public and cultural spaces.

He should be known as Mr R

As in Mr R Swipe or maybe Mr R Sole

But the lab leak means we don’t need to look into our industrial scale gross mistreatment of other animals.

Oh yea, we’re not going to do that anyway

Sounds for all the world like he’s caught the “Lomborg mind virus”.

Possibly due to an easily hacked operating system

Typically Anthropocentric. Human this, human that. We’re just one species of animal after all!

Absolutely. Along with Brazil and a Z and two noughts, big faves for the festive period

Underpricing potentially catastrophic RISK!

Rationality would entail ditching the belief in human exceptionalism, and with it all products made from other animals

I’m all for that. I went to school in NI myself in the 1970s. All I’m saying is that while we’re dealing with the various belief systems taught in schools, let’s not forget about the dangerous myths of humanism ingrained into our children from an early age.

Yea, sounds like you might have missed the crux of his argument there?

Again, this has nothing to do with human rights.

Nothing to do with human rights, which is an inter-human concept. Human exceptionalism is indeed about our place vis a vis other animals and the ecosystem.

What about the humanist belief in human exceptionalism? Just as mythical and dangerous as any religion.

True. But what about the humanist belief in human exceptionalism? Also a huge myth. And one taking us down the path of ecological destruction.

renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, the economic and climate objectives align, but still we’re having to fight to phase out fossil fuels.
