There's no proof but what else could be these people's problem? They have to know what they're doing to the image of people who do care about the environment. It's not like they're helping. I don't get it.

Maybe a little. Hold a shirt up to your face and you'll still see light.

Have you ever played the telephone game? Things change as people retell a story. Science is based on information directly from the source. It has to be verifiable. It's ok to use the stories to learn about a culture and their history, but they aren't suitable for science.

This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?

What exactly do you think a meme is?

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn't used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.

Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Yeah bring back telephone operators too while we're at it! No one should ever lose a job! Jobs are a person's whole life and they should get to do it even if something else could do it better!

Stopping tech from taking jobs just doesn't make any sense. If we did have the perfect economic system, having that tech would lower the overall amount of work that needs to be done. That is a good thing. We should fight for fair labor practices, but fighting to keep labor itself around is the wrong idea. Why keep useless jobs around? Just to keep people employed?

People like you are the problem. All this pointless violence and you just want more.
