| 19:27.47 | Wormy_ | Postmodernism makes me angry because of its extreme stances of relativism even in science. It rejects as an engagement with reality and argues it is a cultural narrative, often of "privileged white male society", even though every culture for thousands had the chance to develop scientific progress |
| 19:28.16 | OluapPlayer | dats racist |
| 19:29.09 | Wormy_ | Its anti-reason |
| 19:29.59 | Wormy_ | promotes subjectivism |
| 19:31.33 | Wormy_ | However postmodernism always fails because you can't reason to prove that reason is false. The while philosophy crumbles unto itself under reductio ad absurdum |
| 19:33.43 | Wormy_ | It has been used by psuedo-scientists and creationists to disseminate science as opinion |
| 19:34.22 | TekDroid | Subjectivism is an insult to science and reason. |

But all these are attempts to escape any explanation based on ideas in the Enlightenment. The ideas of conjecture and criticism, which are available to all humans |

| 20:11.42 | Wormy__ | epistemology and physics hand in hand |
| 20:12.48 | Wormy__ | I disagree with his ultimate explanation |
| 20:16.30 | Wormy__ | Analysing climate, disease and resources , and biogeography can tell us absolutely nothing why the ideology of the Soviets fells to the West |
| 20:16.59 | Wormy__ | And that is using Diamond's biogeographical method would imply it is |
| 20:18.01 | Imperios | Well, the ideology of the Soviets was the continuation of the trends found in Russia before it, and these can be explained by geographical means |
| 20:19.05 | Wormy__ | Diamond is convinced that the relative success of Europeans is geography, denying human behaviour and their ideas as having explanatory power |
| 20:19.24 | Wormy__ | And that he has said, any other explanation is racist |
| 20:20.08 | Wormy__ | But all humans from all cultures are people capable of having causal power to their ideas |
| 20:20.37 | Wormy__ | The fact is one culture has different ideas to another |
| 20:21.01 | Wormy__ | The landscape is now becoming bheck, a product of humsn ideas |

| 21:12.50 | Wormy__ | hi |
| 21:13.27 | DrodoEmpire | Hi. |
| 21:14.00 | DrodoEmpire | Greenpeace disgusts me anyhow; They're extremists, and very stupid ones at that. |
| 21:14.02 | DrodoEmpire | :P |
| 21:14.37 | DrodoEmpire | Seeing as while protesting to protect the environment, they irreversably damaged ancient monuments, and trespassed. |
| 21:14.41 | DrodoEmpire | What a bunch of pinheads. |
| 21:14.52 | Wormy__ | "Rather than apologizing for the damage they caused, they were merely sorry that some people didnât like it. " Good point made |
| 21:14.56 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 21:15.15 | Wormy__ | I've seen Greenpeace make lies |
| 21:16.37 | Wormy__ | They have made lies to spread fear about nuclear power, making huge overestimations of the Fukushima fallout, and made a video of a plane crashing into a nuclear reactor causing an atomic explosion, even though the walls in most plants have been tested against ariel attack |
| 21:17.54 | Wormy__ | And then there's PETA who have slaughtered healthy puppies |
| 21:18.05 | DrodoEmpire | ...What? |
| 21:18.29 | Wormy__ | And crazy anti-GMO people who would rather millions go blind and starve than have access to better rice grain |
| 21:18.38 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 21:19.30 | Wormy__ | http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nathan-j-winograd/peta-kills-puppies-kittens_b_2979220.html |
| 21:19.48 | odell | And it happens that I'm a neighbor (though about 100 km away) to a nuclear power facility. And Greenpeace keeps the facility's security busy all day. |
| 21:19.48 | DrodoEmpire | Its been proven by some two-thousand independant studies that GMOs have no negative effect on health; Some might actually be healthier due to growing better and stronger, or being modified to be more nutritious. |
| 21:19.58 | DrodoEmpire | Hm. |
| 21:19.59 | Wormy__ | These are far better to support. This charity never puts healthy animals down https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/ |
| 21:21.29 | DrodoEmpire | It seems as though all of these major organizations seem to have drifted into extremism or, in the case of PETA, complete cruelty. |
| 21:21.57 | Wormy__ | Its because they act like institutions |
| 21:23.25 | Wormy__ | You might hate me for this |
| 21:23.44 | Wormy__ | But I think in the UK at least, people are over paranoid about frakking |
| 21:28.58 | odell | As in fucking? |
| 21:29.20 | DrodoEmpire | No Frakking; A method of extracting oil. |
| 21:29.46 | DrodoEmpire | Its effective but carries some risk; Like contaminating nearby water supplies |
| 21:33.08 | odell | Ah I see. |

| 21:33.40 | Wormy_ | hi |
| 21:33.45 | DrodoEmpire | Hi. |
| 21:33.53 | TekDroid | There's actually two different nuclear stations near where I grew up. Looking at the greenpeace article on the closer one... ngh. >.< *supresses screams* |
| 21:34.39 | Wormy_ | I used to live right next to a factory (I mean a few feet from the house) |
| 21:34.54 | Wormy_ | The factory was torn down and replaced with an ugly council estate |
| 21:35.02 | Wormy_ | I actually want the factory back |

| 21:35.21 | TekDroid | They act like that plant in Chrenobyl on crack just waiting to happen. |
| 21:35.59 | Wormy_ | fear mongering and coercion. dishonest tactics |
| 21:36.23 | DrodoEmpire | Chernobyl's plant was I believe pretty shoddily designed. :P It would've been a surprise if it *hadn't* went critical at some point. |
| 21:36.42 | TekDroid | Nevermind that Chrenobyl still only happened due to utter stupidity that were easily preventable. |
| 21:37.17 | TekDroid | Probably still shoddily designed though. |
| 21:37.20 | Wormy_ | Three of the four plants that went into meltdown were erarlySoviet era designed for weapons making, Fukushima was placed on an Earthquake and tsunami zone |
| 21:38.54 | TekDroid | Apparently there was another reactor nearby that was fine due to a slightly higher seawall or something. |
| 21:39.01 | Wormy_ | Also, people don't realise coal plants belch more radiation into the atmosphere, as all the coal burned is concentrated in them and released in a small area. For nuclear plants, they emit just steam. Nuclear waste is very well handled on some of the toughest structures humankind have built |
| 21:39.30 | DrodoEmpire | ^ |
| 21:39.58 | TekDroid | Indeed, also there's the fact the uranium they use for nuclear plants isn't the same kind that is used for nuclear bombs. |
| 21:40.07 | DrodoEmpire | ^^^^ |
| 21:41.28 | TekDroid | In fact I think the reactors we use here don't even need the refined U-238. |
| 21:41.48 | Wormy_ | In my county, people whine asbout the wind generation for it uglifies the landscape and scares birds they claim. Back in college my conservationist lecturer pointed out 30 years ago, in the same county, if you left your car uncovered and it rained, the acid rain was so strong it could burn holes in the bonnet. These whiners have forgotten what was left behind |

| 21:45.43 | TekDroid | Nuclear is still one of the most practical, especially when combined with renewalbles like Wind, Solar and Hydo. |
| 21:46.50 | TekDroid | It's all the ignorance and fearmongering. |
| 21:48.45 | Imperios | http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141212214526/spore/images/5/54/Overseer_Dominique.png This looks too good considering how little effort I put into that guy\ |

| 21:50.00 | Wormy__ | Parents were stopping their kids play on the park because of the mast |
| 21:50.41 | TekDroid | People just see that it contains a component and assuming it involves lethal, every-rumour-is-true quantities of it. |

| 22:44.00 | Monet | hi |
| 23:04.59 | ImpyDroid | iH |
| 23:17.07 | odell | Hm. I wonder if pungency (spicy heat) can be lethal to mammals, including humans at a certain grade. |
| 23:19.54 | odell | Oh yes. 40g of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resiniferatoxin |
| 23:21.07 | TekDroid | Doesn't surprise me that significant doses are lethal. |
| 23:21.54 | odell | Also, that chemical is about 15 000 times hotter than world's hottest chili. |

| 23:23.59 | TekDroid | Well it's the active ingredient in chili pepper. It'd be like eating pure spiciness l. |
| 23:24.01 | TekDroid | *. |
| 23:25.00 | odell | Yes. But in pure from, it makes up 15 000 000 000 SHU. |
| 23:26.54 | odell | And the only pepper that burn my tounge real hard are the Jalapenos. Which have circa 2 500 up to 10 000 SHU depending on the breed. |
| 23:27.25 | TekDroid | Over a million times spicier. |
| 23:29.11 | odell | Most of those SHU/pungency chemicals are extremely irriterable to mammal tissue. |
| 23:29.21 | odell | Swap salt with that. |
| 23:29.38 | odell | And drown those who are skinned alive with that. |
| 23:29.56 | odell | Etheral burning. Buuuuuuuuuurn. |
| 23:30.55 | TekDroid | O.o |

| 23:31.43 | TekDroid | You've been spending too much time near Xhodocto/Simulacara stuff. :P |
| 23:32.09 | TekDroid | Or just Xho in general. :P |
| 23:32.59 | odell | Wait, it's actually banana pepper, paprika (as dried and pulverised pepper) and peperoncini. Not Jalapenos. |
| 23:33.12 | odell | And... they are circa 200-900 SHU. |
| 23:34.14 | odell | Xho would be proud. |
| 23:37.28 | Wormy__ | odell: Happened to my Grandad. He picked some spurges my accident amongst the lettuce despite everybody warning him. The toxin in spurges are billions of times the scoville units than pure capsican. It put him in hospital |

| 23:38.24 | TekDroid | A lot |
| 23:38.54 | Wormy__ | test |
| 23:39.02 | TekDroid | Most daily sales can easily exceed two thirds off |
| 23:39.05 | TekDroid | Pass |
| 23:39.24 | odell | Wormy__: You remind me of how my gramp-pa once had a dinner with my Chilean-Swedish cousins. They once had a soup meal, which taste better with this chili pepper, a pepper dired and torn into flakes. |
| 23:39.49 | odell | You just take a pinch and shower it on the soup. |
| 23:40.43 | odell | They warned him that the pepper was really, REALLY, strong. And he nodded it off. |
| 23:40.51 | Wormy__ | He had too much? |
| 23:41.11 | odell | But without bothering to wash his hands, he sratched his eye. Which he should've not done. |
| 23:41.23 | Wormy__ | The same Grandad rubbed his eyes after eating blair's millenium sauce once round my house |

| 23:42.08 | odell | The scoville hit his eyes. Burning them into the "an ethereal hell". |
| 23:42.21 | Wormy__ | I can't seem to load Wikipedia |
| 23:43.40 | odell | So he had to shower his eyes non-stop with water in their bathroom shower. Took him few hours, left out with extremely red eyes. "Like they were glowing in the dark." my relatives described. |
