Right, like there aren’t any number folks on the other end of the political spectrum who can’t rip these points to shreds. Then it becomes a matter of whether they are, like you, authoritarian in their agrndas.
Over and again, what becomes important to them is not what they believe is true in regard to moral and political value judgments, but that what they believe is true allows them to sustain what I construe to be the illusion of the “real me” in sync with “the right thing to do”. In other words, “the psychology of objectivism”.
Which I then ascribe existentially to dasein and they ascribe essentially to one or another transcending font: God, deontology, political ideology, objectivist reason, nature.
Only here I am no less included in my own argument.
As for climate change, sooner or later the actual reality is going to unfold. 50 years from now either the dire predictions of the left will come to be or the changes will be minimal and the predictions of the right will be born out. Of course few of us are likely to be around to say “I told you so”.
Or you can think about it all like this. Suppose we were actually entering a new Ice Age. Our goal would be to warm the planet up as much as possible.
See how it works? Context is everything.
