  • Surprising that you signed up on .ml

    I think the main reason behind the situation is simply dependence on export of raw materials (fossil fuel/metal ore) that doesn’t require many skilled people.

    Only when margins of raw materials extraction will be squeezed out, the leadership would be incentivized to change.

    The way out is either abundance of supply(raw materials) or reduction of demand (transition to more advanced substitute i.e renewables)


















  • I really like the creator but with this video I’m left dissatisfied because trying to be reasonable and easy going, he actually didn’t dispel the false argument.

    Yes, he clarified that many things in the false argument are messier than they claim to be but from the stand point of false argument believer it looks like mocking and pedantry.

    For unswayed public in either direction (who never heard of this topic before), it looks like Ben just hates some niche group without giving them fair shot. Not a good look dare I say

    So by extend unswayed public might become more interested in the false argument - not less.

    Cherry on top, Ben says to check out some other video but the link (or even a name) is nowhere to be found either in the pinned comment or description. Meanwhile false argument narrative is deliberately made very easy to spiral into.

    Overall, the video might bring more harm then good by platforming the false argument and doing not sufficient job dispelling it
