Jack of all Trades - The quote often given is partial, so it is important to understand that it is not a bad thing to know about a little about a lot. Being an expert in a field is important, but expanding knowledge across various fields never hurts. #jackofalltrades

There exists kind of a condensed version of the story:
"A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke."
(Søren #Kierkegaard, Either-Or, Diapsalmata, 1843)

The experience of not being heard reminds me of The Circus and the Clown parabola by #Kierkegaard (I just heard of it some weeks ago, so it is quite present to me).

@jackofalltrades I love how they just look at the prices and frame „having abundant energy“ as something bad and destructive. Where did the evil solar panel hurt you? Where is the invisible hand of the market now? It shows that money as the single point of reference has peaked and we need another system to provide and distribute — not only energy. #solarpunk #ecosocialism #halfearthsocialism

I can only encourage everyone to read the books Ishmael and Story of B from Daniel Quinn to gain a very different (and perhaps deeply transforming) perspective about our culture. The books may completely change the way you view the world.

@jackofalltrades Well, one of #StevenKeen’s criticisms is that mainstream economists do not include energy in their production function, but that’s exactly what these guys did by using a Baqaee-Farhi model 😉

» #NordicWaste, whose website tagline is “we give the earth new life”, last week declared itself bankrupt, saying: “Unfortunately, the landslide has reached such a scale that we as a company are unable to take up the task of combating it.”«
This should not be possible.
Sounds like #Denmark needs more strict rules and controls of companies in the garbage business. -

Depends who/how you ask. I have a #TPOF survey here from March 2023 that says: ❝… among #Taiwanese 🇳🇫 adults aged 20 years and older, [a whopping] 78% said they see themselves as Taiwanese, [a mere] 7.7% as #Chinese 🇨🇳, [a mere] 9.1% both Taiwanese and Chinese, and 5.2% said they do not know.❞

We need to establish a new capitalism based on Labour Capitalism which counters 400 years of traditional capitalism. -
Re: "RWE dismantling wind turbines to dig up 20m tonnes of lignite."
Lignite is ~30% carbon. Burning 1000 tonnes of carbon kills 1 person.
So this extra lignite will kill 6000 people.
That's a little over 2x the 9/11 World Trade Centre.

@jackofalltrades There's a lot of disinformation and fear-mongering going on with regards to the electric grid. Here in Austria, the catch phrase is "Blackout", and it's used to make people afraid of decentralized power production and also of course to sell things.
Last year, the government had all schools, kindergartens and the like make a "blackout plan". They painted a picture of immediate complete breakdown of everything, lasting days, and made parents decide in advance what should happen to their children in such an event. Schools had to stock food and batteries and buy toilet bags because there would be no water and toilets. (We are in a metropolitan area, there's food for weeks at the school anyway, almost all children can walk home, and our water comes though the pipes through gravity without extra power, and toilets flush even when there's no electricity. But apparently our government does not know about this.)
Supermarkets offered "Blackout kits", like camping supplies but more expensive and in an orange box, but as far as I know, they didn't sell well.
A generation before, we had plans for nuclear catastrophe. Schools had parents sign for being allowed to administer iodine pills to the kids in such a case. That never happened. All the potential sources still exist as far as I know, but our focus has shifted.
Now with the changes in energy production finally getting under way, I see a lot of fear being produced. A few weeks ago there was news about how a record number of solar panels had been installed this year so far. But instead of celebration, the articles were about "Oh, the poor grid! Will it hold? Have fear!" People who install solar panels are slowly framed as egoists, because their fancy roof decorations might damage our fragile electric grid.
You see, we've been paying high maintenance fees with our electricity bills for decades. And surprisingly, the power companies have not used this money to invest and prepare for these now very surprising, suddenly happening changes. Nobody could have seen that coming, I know. Solar panels were invented this year, and there have never been any wind turbines before the 2020s, right?
