Ah, gotcha. I must have misinterpreted your tone. It seemed to me that you (unnecessarily but intentionally) introduced a politically loaded term to your (quite correct) idea.

I've been spending too much time reading about the Earth before humans, when massive changes were commonplace. Only discussing human-triggered change strikes me as massively more limited and less interesting. Apologies if I caused any confusion.

Can't tell if serious or sarcastic. Tone says sarcastic, but I'll assume that your question was genuine in order to answer in the same tone.

Have you ever noticed differences in the level of awareness different people display? (And, indeed, the same person from day-to-day.)

Some people call it mindfulness, awareness, self-awareness, introspection, analytical, etc.

People vary greatly in their conscious awareness of the world around and inside themselves. When OP states "very analytical", they are saying they feel like they're more aware than they perceive other people to be.*

* This has its own considerations.

How come you chose to subset "climate change" into "anthropogenic climate change"? Regardless of the origin, it seems though climate change will be bad news for humans.

The implication of a very sub-optimal design is that the "intelligent" designer is a C- student who probably shouldn't have gotten their degree.

Agreed. I will never share anything I make with HN for this reason.

We all know the last 20% (polish) takes 80% of the work, and isn't the fun stuff. Yet that's generally what gets criticized when someone shares a link.

For any of my hobby projects, it's about making a POC or rickety MVP. I want to build things and learn quickly, not doing the last 20% schlub work that eats at my time to learn something else. Because of that, and what I've seen of the reception to other hobby projects, I have determined that HN is not an appropriate forum for me to share projects with.
