10. "I couldn't care less." - That's precisely the problem.

You don’t appreciate that you share the world with people who disagree with you. You are so convinced you are correct, you are unwilling to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, you might both be right to some extent. (“Green hydrogen” is not “the solution.” but, like nuclear fission, it may be part of a solution.) There is no “silver bullet.” There likely is no “silver buckshot” either, however, abusing people who don’t subscribe to your particular belief system is not helpful.

What do you believe you are accomplishing? Do you believe that policy makers inhabit this little bubble? If they did, do you think they would find your histrionics persuasive?

I could go on at great length in my posts. I’m told I write well. However, I learned long ago, that brevity tends to lend clarity and usually wins out when attempting to communicate.

Do I post videos? I sure do, when I think they do a good job of explaining concepts which I could describe verbally, but which they do better. The fact of the matter is, most people do not like reading long treatises. (“TLDR.”)

I like reading scientific papers, as do you, but I understand that I am atypical (I also enjoy a certain level of access to scientific papers that not everyone has.) So, typically I will post the text of a press release and cite the actual research (so some other atypical person can find it a little more easily.)

I do not make arguments from ignorance. I do not warp facts to suit my narrative. I do not stand up straw men to knock down. I do not present false dichotomies. I try to not insult other people’s intelligence…
