But what I was telling to portray, is that there are an infinite number of 'parameters', if you will, that a flower contains. And sure, mathematics can describe each of those parameters. But we will never be able to quantify it completely, as there are an infinite number of ways to relate flowers existence, and to any and every other 'thing' in the universe. Even if the mathematics is still there as the underlying building block.
Just like I can language to 'invent' or 'discover' a new sentence in order to describe anything and everything. But I won't be able to describe it completely, as there are an infinite number of ways to describe something.
You're taking about fixing the leaky sink while the house is on fire.
No one is saying that we don't have a carbon footprint. All life does.
But we, as a society, need to first focus on the things that are most destructive. In this case, fossil fuel infrastructure and the institutions keeping it in place.
Americans are the 'immigrants' on this continent, and they are using their customs and border enforcement to arrest people who are natives to the continent.
It's ironic that a team designed to deport immigrants is arresting people who have been here longer than the country has existed.
Yes I understand that renewable adoption is accelerating, but so are CO2 emissions.
And there is a problem that these charts don't consider. An increase in energy generation from one source does not mean that there will be a decrease in power generation of another. We will just have both sources in an additive relationship.
But that's just capitalism baby! More! More! More!
While I agree that non-violent is the way to go, I think we need to change our definition of "violence."
Property destruction should not be considered violent. Especially when precautions are specifically taken to ensure that no people were harmed during act of property destruction or sabotage.
On the other side of things, actions such as destroying wildlife habitat or polluting the air, water, and soil systems of the Earth should be considered "violence." It is violence towards all of humanity, and towards life itself.
I sort of meant it more as a joke.

Always has been..
It's a cheap diner that's scattered all over the poorest parts of the country and is the open 24/7.
It tends to attract quite the interesting crowd. Truckers, hobos, and random people driving across the country.
Let's see them try to keep up with incarceration rates per 100k people. USA is truly a world power in that regard.
Two thousand girls at the same time.
How does this compare to valve's proton for running Windows programs?
Shapes are dumb.
Okay. Describe a flower using mathematics. It better entail every detail of the flower and all of its virtues.

The USA is already holds the record for most prisoners per capita, why do they need more?...
Top 3 probably
I was just thinking the same thing. Where does that leave Canada? Do they join the EU or get eaten up by the US?

Best I can do is 6 month leave with full pay.
People should be rioting though... How else do we stop our own government from kidnapping and killing our neighbors?
The only other effective solution I can think of is citizen sabotage, but that's like rioting in the shadows.

Agree 100%. We're literally living through the 6th mass extinction event.
The worst part is that it's solvable, but not profitable, so it isn't happening.
Anyway, gotta get back to work...
Look into co-housing communities or eco-villages. There are ways to do this even within our overly bureaucratic system.
The worms tried and failed. The bears tried and failed. Now the humans have tried and failed...
Maybe we try the bear again?
