I used to live in a historic property in rural MI built in the 1800s. There was a huge chestnut tree growing on it that was at least 50ft tall and looked like it could've been as old as the house.
I don't live near there anymore but I always wondered if it might have been an American chestnut.

Having the economy crash would just speed up global warming. You can't have clean energy and reduced pollution without investment in new tech.
Re:How do you solve a problem like misinformation?

It's not a technical problem, it's a cultural one. Society's values simply have to be in the right place and it's takes time for a sophisticated culture to evolve.

if society's intuitions began instituting racist rules like this, would everyone have to become racist just to compete?
