Posted here in the ‘Politics’ section, because the climate-alarm begins to seem to me to have been more a matter of capitalist realpolitik than any real climate science.
I continue to feel this extraordinary doubt: How many of the things that I’ve believed - without adequate examination, simply on trust - for much of my life might be wrong; were actually inserted into my background assumptions by propaganda, by manipulative applied psychology, and by my very childhood social indoctrination? (Odd to be getting such doubts right at the other end of life…?)
Anyway, whyever it’s happening, the big shake-up of the covid scam seems to have kicked it off seriously. Hence some serious reading amongst the climate-panic sceptics; leading to this:
Ditto. In just about every field of knowledge. I can’t decide whether to be excited by new understanding or deeply pissed off at the betrayal so I’m both. I don’t share your doubtfulness though: I have fewer doubts now about things that I could previously only vaguely suspect (but I’m only 73. . .) I don’t think it odd at all given the open warfare of the last 2 & half years.
