Yeah, I'm familiar with your views on meat-eating Phil - I was extending the discussion into an area that's poorly defined, the fungal world, and wondered you'd applied your thinking to that in the same way you encourage others to consider meat-eating. ...
Well, it does! Then after that..?
"disillusioned"? That might be a good thing. It's our illusions that got us into this mess :-) After disillusionment, what comes? Clarity?
Weasel words - The Upper Room isn't a church. He went there, for sure.
Systems thinking? I say, animism.
What about fungi, Phillip; the 3rd Kingdom, as akin to animals as to plants? How could you (eat a mushroom)?
It is indeed so, Phil. Ad reminded me of Luxon's attendance at *The Upper Room. *Not a place to which Gaia has been invited
What if warming is but one of a cluster of escalating ills? Neonicotinoids and micro plastics seem to have started their own environmental collapses; better deal with those as well!
Ah, thanks, Ad. Sounds like somewhere to sneak off to and swallow your ecstacy!
What was the name of the religious organisation Luxon belongs/belonged to; something about the Second Floor perhaps..?
Information; data, observations, predictions, arguments, examples etc. such as you've presented here is water off a duck's back to most people, as is information about global homelessness, poverty, war, famine, disease, slavery etc. It's too much to ...
Help me, Jesus!
What I would like to know is: what is the name of that (laudable) parasitic wasp?
"This is a political blog site for robust and genuine (political) debate, so why do I see RW trolls here?" Ha! Loving that.
"That is tell the punters what they will achieve/do in the upcoming quarter/three months…and into the future..and then having to deliver on those pledges.." Nah. They're bullshi**ing. The Left shouldn't adopt the Right's cynical, misleading strategies, or ...
They don't know what they're doing.
No, they're not. They're beholden to life-destroying industries. Much better, I'm sure you'll agree.
I followed your advice, adam, in order to understand what you wrote, "worshipers of cupidity" - it sounded to me like an established phrase with a specific meaning. I found, "Cupidity is a greedy desire for money and possessions." "Worshippers" of cupidity...
Hilarious!
"I'll just note that you have yet again refused to say why you think Adam isn't left or liberal." Why in God's name should I??? Beyond mystifying.
Admirable that you step in to explain/defend Adam's position, weka! But why?
The meaning of "worshippers of cupidity" :-)
"worshipers of cupidity" is "as clear as you can get"? Not to me, without elucidation from you, Adam - do you mind? Referring me to a dictionary for just one of those words is... kinda rude, I reckon.
Happy to respond, weka. Waiting though, for clarification from you regarding 6 April 2024 at 5:31 pm.
"Robert (in response to weka's response ...
Good question, weka! Is this also a good question? Robert Guyton… 6 April 2024 at 2:12 pm To your question, I wrote liberal with a lower-case "l". I used the upper-case "L" for the Left I believe Adam (lower-case "a"), isn't.
"worshipers of cupidity" though, sounds intriguing! Care to elucidate, Adam?
It's clear you're neither liberal, nor Left, adam, hence my question and in answer to your suggestion that I ask myself why I'm here, though it was somewhat garbled, I have and I liked my answer!

"Well, now that the Labour Party is employing Shaneel Lal" Was there a link to accompany/support your claim, Visubversa? It's customary/required here on TS. Not sure how your comment slipped through the net.
" Odd then that you feel qualified to state that they are never good critical thinkers." I stated that?? Please provide quote and link. You'll have noticed, no doubt, that my comment is in response to yours here: 3.2.1 5 April 2024 at 10:29 pm which ...
