âAngry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,â
âA human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe.â In a way, it is humbling, but itâs also a relief to know that thereâs a larger structure of which weâre a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow donât seem so traumatic.â
Weâre all emotional animals. And when thereâs a crisisâwhen thereâs no time to study the situation for weeksâwe have to decide **now**. We react through our understanding and experiences. So yes, that means weâre all idiots, vulnerable to corruption.
Thatâs why we created **scientific methods**: to overcome the unchangeable parts of our inner selves.
A person who can clearly see and admit theyâre corrupted, selfish, and greedy? They can still create techniques to control themselves. When a person clearly sees that they **canât change anything**, thatâs the first step.
I think the most horrible thingsâwhatâs happened and what will happenâcome from this sickness in our minds. **And it is unchangeable.**
Environment Scientist(Student), I like positivity news, fitness, Olympic lifting, Linux, Fediverse, art, music, books, science, universe, activism.
Science is not media. I try to avoid, and I am not interested in Media politics, Media religion, media marketing, media economics and trades of those medians.

As meditating- listening to myself (Krishnamurti).
Memento mori â âRemember that you must die.â
Memento amoris â âRemember love.â
We are concerned with observing the actual facts, the âwhat isâ. To observe âwhat isâ very clearly and to see the full significance of those facts, we must look at it without our conditioning. That is where the difficulty is going to lie, because you have opinions, you have values, you approach them as a Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, or what you will, with your nationality, with your peculiar idiosyncrasies, and these prevent you from observing, from looking. Observation is an art. It is not easily learnt. One has observed neither the sunset nor the stars, neither the trees nor the facts, outwardly or inwardly. So, if we are going to travel together â and I hope we will â we have to observe scientifically, ruthlessly and with great intelligence.
From Collected Works, Vol. 14 (krishnamurti)
âThe intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.â â Albert Einstein

in reply to Kevin Leecaster • • •Melting sea ice has a small influence on sea level because floating ice displaces the amount of water it would add to sea level. What changes the sea level is melting land ice and warming water (thermal expansion).
But when sea ice melts, it's reflection rate (albedo) decreases, because dark water absorbs much more of the solar energy while white ice reflects nearly all energy. That leads to mentioned thermal expansion.

Yeah, I know that intuitively (ice cubes in a glass of water and all), but I was just wondering where all that water that would have been locked away as sea ice in the last decades is now instead of being concentrated at the poles.
Those water molecules have to go somewhere, but perhaps our atmosphere is retaining that much more?

in reply to Zack Labe • • •I was thinking that the sea ice was formed from precipitation, but that's probably not the case and it is probably partially de-salted sea water which would not affect the overall water distribution around the globe which is what I was thinking. sorry.
