There's no such thing as 'more sustainable.' Sustainability is binary: either we are sustainable or not. There's less unsustainable, that makes sense, but "more sustainable" does not.

No, its just that you don't philosophise about acausal correlations.Vitruvius wrote: ↑Wed Sep 22, 2021 12:02 pmVitruvius wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 9:14 pmI understand correlation as well as the next university graduate; what I don't understand is your problem with it. I love this one; more people die in hospitals than in McDonald's so if I have a heart attack, get a big mac and milkshake down me, stat! That's a spurious correlation.So your problem with correlations then, is what you assume I don't understand?
How do you know what I understand, or don't understand?
Are you a mind reader?

I have no desire to argue with you. I'm trying to show you how weak your position is when other people can say you're wrong, and you cannot but agree. I'm trying to show you the diseased heart of the subjectivist, relativist, post modernist dogma you're propounding.
Oops, sorry, wrong thread. I was wrong to write that here. That was not correct!

”If I believed the things YOU believe, I would act that same way “
EVERY time two people are angry or upset with each other it’s because they’re misunderstanding each other. If we could read each others minds and feel exactly what the other person was thinking and feeling we would do exactly the same thing as them. Everything is relative.

Re: Quote of the day
“...there is a principled reason to be hesitant on the Covid-19 vaccine, and, far from positioning people as “anti-vaxxers” for holding that position, it is perfectly reasonable and needs articulation. Put simply, it’s this: people should have to be convinced, not coerced or forced, into accepting a vaccine into their bodies, especially under the conditions presented by Covid-19 and its vaccine. That is, the argument for getting vaccinated needs to be made, not merely assumed, and neither coercion nor force makes that argument.”
