US policy has always been neutrality, let them decide, not the U.S.

Again, I admit we have the know how and technology, the problem is that we also had the know how and technology before any of these disasters and they still happened. The problem is corners will always be cut, that was the problem in the disasters, not a lack of technology, it is a cultural thing. For example, you want to increase reactor production and cut costs, materials will be value engineered resulting in riskier reactors, even with your new technology new problems will be created, they will always try to find the line they can't cross, the way you find that is by crossing it though, they will cut materials and develop cheaper methods and protocols, a disaster will happen, you will say well yeah they knew about the risk and now we use passive coolers, that's tylenol for a broken leg, the fracture is the culture. I support nuclear, I don't support a slapstick nuclear renaissance that would be required for nuclear to be the sole saving grace of the climate crisis. Rapid construction and implementation is not safe or reliable, rapid reactor construction and operation is a fairytale that ends as a horror show of glowing people. Look at cars and airplanes, improvements in safety yet more deaths and accidents.

It won't cause an identifiable shift, what it does do is subtle but very impactful, to varying degrees it imparts the anti imperialism sentiment unto all listeners, hopefully most significantly being political leaders of superpowers. Pair this with the Global support for Ukraine, and the exposure of American wrong doing in recent wars, it can push the Zeitgeist.

Philosophy is for manipulating the world or your mind into your own piece of art, artists are lazy philosophers.

Why do you think that is? In your original post you insinuated the money takers may not be capable of rational thought, are you sure your choice is the rational one?

When you use plastics or chemicals, petrol, electricity even, do you consider your contribution to all the people that get cancer from the use of those things? The children worked to death to make your shoes? When you think of environmentalism, do you think of your great grandchildren, or the children of the rude woman at the grocery store?

Actually there are very serious people in the U.S. government calling for the overthrow of Iran, number 3 in the polls for president Nicki Haley, and number 3 in the U.S. Congress Lindsey Graham.

Doesn't matter if they don't remember me, in the ego scoreboard of the universe they're a point for team Devin. I think you fail to accept how little we value strangers, you know how humans focus more on negatives, well consider all the lowly people you've encountered, consider someone that is more inundated with them than you, they're not going to value strangers lives.

People have potential to continue through reproduction forever and do grand things, human excrement does not. If a descendant of mine has a good life and reproduces and continues the cycle, or does something extraordinary, that is something caused by me and impossible without me, an extension of Le Psycho, my mark on this planet.

Because they're a result of me, my great great grand children are an epitaph of me.

I see my future descendants as an extension of myself, that's very different than a stranger.

In the OP.

Women don't value looks like men do, the average looking man is sufficient for most women. It's like saying men only find 20% of womens occupations attractive. You're a tool for women, but not one for sex appeal.

Me too, I enjoy being friends with them, feminists are no worse about it than anyone else, but as in the OP it's not an overt dominant behavior. I disagree about you not providing utility value as a platonic friend, I'm sure you know of how valuable friends are especially men for women.

Yep, most still tend to have an underlying resentment to men in general though, males and females are treated differently in society so it's only natural.

I disagree, most women settle for men with faked self confidence.

That's not true, the failure was from not having backup power, generators have been around since the 1800s. The radioactive release is the concern, Fukushima is uninhabitable for 100 years now, an area on a densely populated island just north of the most populated city in the world, you can't mark that as a beaming example of safety.

Put your last one first, then read them. Your last one is greed based, from lower class perspective, your first two are greed based from upper class perspective. You're arguing that it's okay if lower classes are greedy but not if upper classes are. Hope you can see that reasoning isn't going to get you far.

Most women resent men, only high value women will ever actually care about you beyond your utility value to them.

Sacrificial Iranian pawns.

Had Ethiopian this weekend, Turkish the one before that, Lebanese one before that, Vietnamese one before that, French the one before that, Indian this weekend,... 🤔🤔 all in the same city, all authentic family owned friendly restaurants.

U.S.

I don't know any specific ones but focus on the basics, what saving can do, certificates of deposit, bonds, interest rates, credit cards, car loans, renting, mortgages, grants, aid, free resources, federal and state student aid,... You do have the benefit of knowing how little you can live on though, that can help with saving. After that, focus on free education, mortgage, then after that; investing and tax deferred savings.

Do you think it is to that level anywhere yet? If so where? Where I'm from we have Chinatown, a Somali and Ethiopian village, and Indian neighborhoods, I love it, great variety of food and culture, Buddhist Temples, Synagogues, Muslim Temples, Catholic Cathedral all within walking distance, all open doors, it's heaven to me, we have different festivals celebrating different cultures.

How is catastrophic failure a testament for safety? Tsunamis are expected on the Japanese coast and they still didn't mitigate for it. Japan is possibly the most industrial conscious nation and they failed catastrophically, the failure mode happened to be much less devastating than Chernobyl, but that's like saying someone that caused a car accident is a safe driver because no one died in the accident, it was a completely foreseen vulnerability which they complacently dismissed. We know how to have safe reactors, the issue is cultural in that risk taking to save money is inherent in decision making. We have the know how, but we lack the discipline to implement it.
