'Doomsday clock' ticks closer to apocalyptic midnight

@paleincubus @fchowd0311 and the other folks who believe in this clock made by the smartest scientists should stop paying their bills, give up their worldly possessions, etc...

i won't because all this is scientists nerds who have a hard on for end of the world propaganda that's no different those 2nd coming evangelicals those scientists make fun of.

 

They are not just that, for ****'s sake! Can you read?

You have a Trumpian inability to admit when you are wrong or misinformed.

 

Who exactly is an “expert” on the threats of nuclear weapons to this planet? The guys in Washington? The weapons makers who make billions on selling this stuff?

Maybe none of us are experts, so we should just not discuss the threat at all.

 

I was just going on what was said, I don't personally care one way or the other, if you remember I said

That really should have been the end of it, but for whatever reason you didn't want to let it go and you posted something talking about how they were "Atomic Scientists".....which means that they are speaking about things outside their area of expertise. Now you are claiming that they are not just atomic scientists....which is it? Why do you hate logic so much?

 

Humanity: geared to bicker and attack one another endlessly as long as they don't have to discuss serious problems.

 

Those science nerds you speak of have the capability of packaging the computational power of 1000 1980 super computers into a device that fits in your hand and has enough thermal efficiency to not need a single fan or water cooling system.

What have evangelism brought us? What have you brought us? Do you think someone who's accomplished being engineer might have obtained higher critical thinking skills than you, an individual with absolutely no higher level skill sets?

Genuine question. In your entire existence, what is the most challenging problem you ever solved?

 

not the most challenging buy my most impressive, dealing with trolls

 

some pretty convincing analyses out there that argue the Doomsday Clock measures liberal anxiety and little else

Hilarious. I said no such thing.

Carry on with the crawfishing.

 

Here's your exact quote Bucko

"Ugh. Literally the first line from their Mission Statement begins: The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists engages science leaders, policy makers..."

You said this in response to this

"It's either a group of nuclear physicists and rocket scientists weighing in on things outside their area of expertise or it's not a group of nuclear physicists and rocket scientists."

How did you intend your statement to be taken? That you were agreeing that it wasn't a group of "Atomic Scientists" or that you were agreeing that it was a group of "Atomic Scientists" weighing in on things outside their area of expertise? One way or the other, you had to be agreeing with me....despite trying to claim you weren't.

 

It's not my fault you don't know what the term "policy" refers to.

Why are you so hellbent on all-or-nothing?

 

I see you didn't answer the question.....I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

 

I have no idea why you're arguing this. It's ok to be wrong. I could not care less about the atomic clock in the grand scheme of things, but your blatant bullsh!tery is grating. That's the only reason I got posted at you. Cheers.

 

You have't even stated what you think is wrong....and you are still avoiding answering the question.....so you will have to understand if I struggle to take what you are doing now seriously. I mean, you might as well just be drooling because you are not effectively communicating. If you work with me, I can help you, but you'll have to try.

The best place to start is by answering the question. Till you do that, nothing else you say will have any validity.

To explain this further, in order to cover all bases and have the best chance for you following along, when someone asks which is true, A or B, with A and B being the only 2 possibilities and you answer "you're wrong"....it makes you look kind of dumb. If you wish to argue which you think it is, A or B, then do so but just saying "no" or "you're wrong" is not a valid answer.

Got it? Awesome. Best of luck.

 

Yes, there is lots of room to argue, but the dreaded word "liberal" is misplaced in a lot of this. Knowing very many atomic scientists (and other members of that group), a great many of them are conservatives: old school Reagan type conservatives. I realize those people are completely unrecognizable to today's main "conservatives," but that does not make them all "liberal." Heaven forbid.

 

Why couldn't there be one person in the audience with a party popper

 

Getting people to think about themselves and the consequences of their actions is so Liberal!

Such smug worldliness!

Arrogant snobs
