Have you tried the insides of ones colon, because that's from where ideas like these are generally pulled.

The pressure she’s applying is not IMO the result of a note to a pen pal.

We can all take steps to reduce our personal footprints, but the need here is really for more systemic changes that can be implemented at scale and apply to everyone, even those who are unwilling to make changes voluntarily. While your goal is laudable, my concern is that your letter to the UN will have no impact and go unread by anyone in a position to actually influence the changes we’re discussing.

It would remind me how poorly educated Americans too often vote for cartoonish caricatures over competent and capable leaders

Sure, just don’t call me neurotypical.

I’m shocked… Shocked! I tells ya… that someone with a username like “king of trolls” is here simply trolling. I really did NOT see that one coming. I mean… Wow… Mind = Blown

I find myself frustrated with how the world is trending these last few years, mostly due to the humans living on it and their actions, specifically.

Interestingly, you answered none. Clever trick

From now on, I want you all to call me Loretta. 😂

It’s generally antipodal to neurotypical and used to indicate someone on the autism spectrum (or even bipolar and related conditions in some cases), but I agree with your primary point. No, it doesn’t seem to fit here.. at least not until more information is provided.

Oh, well so long as YOU’RE sure, then I guess that’s evidence enough for me!

Actually, it’s always both because 1) there are billions of people on the planet and 2) there’s no single one person deciding. Since different people feel differently about the topic and neither are supreme galactic emperor free to donwhatwver they want, it’s always both. I’m glad you’ve got it all figured out, though. I’m sure that’s a very comforting feeling to have such simple solutions to such complex issues.

It’s not a technical problem. It’s not even a financial one. This is about ethics and morality. Your suggestion that it’s so supremely simple is either disingenuous or painfully ignorant, neither of which encourages us to engage you further in a meaningful way.

Yes, it just would be going slower. We’ve been seeing climate impacts since the industrial revolution. This isn’t new

Looks like we can expect an announcement tomorrow. OECD countries agree on 15% floor https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/07/us/politics/global-minimum-tax.html

Agreed. Good analogy. It’d be the same if we in the US began using Euro. Not technically “our own”

Yeah, but… Is that technically their “own” cryptocurrency, or is it just using / adopting someone else’s?

What do I think? I think it’s too simplistic to be useful and likely wrong as a direct result of that fantasy level simplicity.

So, you want to engage in advanced genetics experimentation where you convert someone born with XY chromosomes into someone who instead has XX chromosomes and you wonder if education beyond high school is required? Forgive us for not taking you seriously.

I wouldn’t waste one of my three wishes in such trifling matters, but YMMV

Only partially and based on insufficient data

The support of large swaths of the voting populace

Right. I was more attempting to add that it’s in the lower courts where this particular rubber is really meeting roads.

Cause your opponents to underestimate you. Achieve desired outcomes in the backend while superficial people focus on your buffoonery. Navigate through the echelons of power as people dismiss you as incapable. I'm sure there are others. Those just came IMMEDIATELY to mind when reading your simple question.

Exactly. Folks must avoid conflating the act with the actor.
