Exactly, that's why runescape and world of warcraft have adopted the marxist game mechanic of automatically redistributing all resources and exp between all players at the end of every day.

Whether we are looking at 1.5C vs 8C is absolutely enormous in terms of what policies we should be looking to enact. Everything in this discussion is shrouded in a cloud of uncertainty due to the complexity of weather, and the thousands of negative and positive feedback loops which can take thousands of years to stabilize.

Popular science articles misrepresent the science and ignore the variance/complexity, in the end hurting the cause in the eyes of those who don't agree with the prescribed policies to address it.

That's good to hear, because whether people want to admit it or not, journalists misreporting studies constantly is one of the reasons why trust has eroded.

Let me get this straight, you're saying that people should purposefully mislead the public?

Are you sure you don't support poor arguments?

> theoretically, everything could be reduced to physics

Is there a thing as free will, and if so, is it explainable in terms of physics? And with consciousness (if you believe there is such a thing)? Is morality and ethics reducible to physics as well? There's a lot of presuppositions to the statement that everything is reducible to some purely mechanical process.

I have no doubt that many serious people believe as you have stated, but it's not a self evidently true claim.

Of course not. Some people seem to think pasting tangentially related wikipedia articles contributes to discussion, but it doesn't.

Yes, this is fake news. Wired is no stranger to low quality click bait.

This article conveniently redefines the definition of blue collar work. By similar thinking, are typists, receptionists, data-entry folks all blue collar?

> Coal miners are really technology workers who get dirty

Really?

I even agree with the premise that were going to see an increase of 'trades' style programmers assuming a certain classification of programming jobs, but the article is sensationalized.

If it works well for what you are building.

A lot of people in finance spend their entire life doing the same work over and over. Same goes for programming. There is more to work than years of experience. Though no doubt there is a correlation, not everyone gets better with age.
