Prediction vs Reality

Reply in thread

I came to the same conclusion after reading papers and articles for years and every year it got a little bit worse and a little bit sooner. Just following the trajectory of the changes in their expectations told me that we would hit ~+6°C by 2100.

So if I perceive that every human that gets within 2 ft of me is attempting to murder me, it's their fault?

How is "I think you are hot" objectifying when "hot" is a descriptor of a human beings qualities? You got call a house hot. Or a train. I suppose there is hot rod but I am pretty sure that came from a different definition of hot and not attraction.

I just don't understand how you could perceive it as objectifying by default.

I'm not trying to be a shithead, but that almost sounds like you have a subconscious notion that you are an object. Patriarchy and such beating it into your head or whatever, but if you interpret so many things as saying that you are an object, it doesn't seem like it's based in reality.

Maybe put another way, the man would almost certainly, in his own head, truly not believe that is what he is conveying, and is not trying to imply that. By reading that into it, you are the one adding that context to the situation.

In some cases, at least. Certainly, many men are shit and do intentionally do that.

In any other circumstance I would agree with you. This about the survival of the species. This isn't a normal bad government structure that needs to be rooted out. This isn't the same oppression that we've been dealing with for thousands of years. The people in that list are specifically the most powerful and untouchable people that have ever lived and they are ACTIVELY MURDERING THE PLANET FOR THEIR OWN PLEASURE. This isn't something that can wait for the normal process to take it's time. If we don't act this minute, we will be too late. It's quite likely that we are already too late.
