  • Look, she has a point too. Let’s say your skin has a temperature of 30°C and the moving air has a temperature of 21°C. As the air moves past the skin, heat is being exchanged more efficiently from skin to air, cooling the skin.

    You have a point as well, the room is heating up more efficiently for basically the same reason.

    I suggest to turn on the ceiling fans while heating up the room for like half an hour or however long it takes to reach ± 1°C of the desired room temperature, and to turn it off afterwards.

    Yeah well and ideas occur to you after you’ve experienced something and by proxy that is one reason why people will always put their own basic needs above some abstract idea of a better world and everything. As opposed to “just think about a better world and talk about it and people will believe in it and fight for it”. Which doesn’t work, in case that’s news to anyone. Although in the 1840s, it really was.







  • As always in politics, the problem is divergent interests. For example I disagree with the notion that the image depicts an utopia. It’s a dystopia in my view.

    1. people are traveling by planes (a flying car is just that), which must be very, very loud and inefficient. Where do they travel to? Why don’t they get their goods by underground parcel mini-rail?

    2. no flowers in this picture. What about biodiversity? What are people eating? Soylent green?

    3. the only animal depicted is a domesticated one (judging from the size, a dog or a large rat).

    4. it’s all metal and glass. Can I have wood and stone instead please?

    I want to live in a society that has extremely high living standards, but lives with nature, not against it. And today’s problems have more to do with unequal access to basic needs and luxury, luxury being defined as things only few people can realistically enjoy at the same time and general drive to produce goods no-one needs instead of distributing work equally, getting rid of redundant office jobs and all the other inefficiencies capitalism brings.
