And that is the difference between theory and practice...

So that makes it intrinsically bad? What is acceptable vs unacceptable uses of energy? Esp. when we're not talking about food production or medicine

You did not dispel his argument, even if biased; how different would it be from North Korea? (That's hyperbole but this person has a good point)

I'd say it is even revealing of a particular worldview. Even within the article, the impression seems to be that the people of Bhutan (and the author) NEED or deserve to know about it.

Which is preposterous considering it is a Kingdom

You just said it, it is money.

It's not wasted any more than it is wasted when you play a game or watch a youtube video or TV. It's just a use of energy which you are trying to make as somehow bad. It's just a cultural preference.

Could say that about social media or video games.

If you knew the kind of people that are my friend's neighbors. Basically you have the 0.01% of a country there, if you know people you know people, information reaches them way faster.

It's not misleading, the solution is the same.

Then you could say it has the highest % of criminals in society as compared to the rest of the world.

I have a hard time seeing why this wouldn't be the case.

For a number in the X00s the stuff after the period i.e. .xxx% is not significant

I'd say most cities are better off not having homeless shelters. Otherwise you'd become a magnet for homeless. What happened to catering to the actual tax-payers?

The problem is the homeless, not their unhoused/housed status. Never saw so many ambulances on a daily basis as on a hotel that was repurposed for homeless. (Owner was pretty happy having his crummy hotel filled at a $200/night rate ;) )

Who's gonna pay the real estate taxes? LOL

Typical narcissistic image keeping

How convenient! Why stop there, might as well go to the Stone Age, if the green transition does not get us there, then global war surely will. /s

Fake foods, low vitamin D, iron shavings supplementation in flour -> bad vitamin B status, bad intestinal bacteria, intestinal damage -> chronic inflammation -> cancer

Far-less extreme? Why? Just because they loudly profess it?

I guess the same point could be made about religion. Call me an agnostic then when it comes to device security

Whoa, but then how would governments shape research?

This is the epigenetic vs plain genetic part.

The founder of EA got SBF in. That's another can of worms but that guy apparently changed his last name from Crouch to McAuskil or whatever...

Gullible indeed, all those ETFs investing by default in these? Check.

Just good nature and good nurture.

Lol, my good friend was homeschooled and is successful and contrary to stereotypes a social-butterfly. Not sure where you get this "implore you" from.

Nobody could have seen this!111 How did the French paradox go?
