Quote from: Nearings Fault on Aug 20, 2023, 04:57 PMI cannot speak to most most of it. As to modern construction those all wood structures do have firebreaks they are usually made of two offset stud walls with a fire retardant insulation like roxul and up to one inch of drywall coverings. Research has shown that a cinder block wall would crumble before the modern engineered wood one ...

I am no expert on construction.  Since I wrote the comment I ran across this documentary.


It makes my point better, when the narrator talks about the origin of 'stroads'.



The original purpose of better linking farm and country by truck produced roads which led to later development unfit for man or beast.  Unintended consequences.  Sort of, since the car companies knew exactly what they were doing.  The documentary makes this clear, suggesting cities take on debt to build more roads.  They were in the business of selling cars.  They made sure cities were built for cars, not people.  They succeeded and they died with the most toys.

I contend geoengineering will lead to increased use of fossil fuels.  Jevon's paradox suggests this because geoengineering gives fossil fuels greater utility.  Once implemented, propaganda will claim our geoengineering equation is balanced.  That we cool the planet with geoengineering faster than we warm it with stupidity. 

This lie will lead to even more guilt free use of fossil fuels than now.  That is the greater utility, a burn it if you got it mentality. It is a social utility and not a material condition, but the end result is the same.  The lie of balance will be told because it is good for business.  We have geoengineering so why worry?  Get some toys and die.


Lies are leading the pack with technical deception on the inside curve.  Deception passes conspicuous consumption for the number two position.  She is coming on strong to be number one.  Now she is neck and neck...
