Re: Taking a Stand in the War on General-Purpose Computing

All political movements of all stripes run on "all this bullshit" the only difference is the flavour of bullshit they run on - this is the fundamental difference between politics and engineering, politics is about people (irrational, fearful, self-interested, dishonest ...) while engineering is about things (they just are). No matter how much we may wish otherwise the world of people is run by politics not engineering - the tricky part is to avoid being led over the edge of the cliff by the politicians.

It usen't to be the case. We had idealists- the labour party,. telling people how the world ought to be, and we had conservatives - sober men of business, anxious to make a decent pile yes, but anxious also to keep a country that they largely owned, clear of civil disorder, crime and able to plan and manage competently.

The modern crop of Oxford PPES are bloody hopeless. They are not conservatives.

And as for the narratives of te left, well its either violent cultural revolution and communism, or repressive political correctness and thought crime in a puritanical police state.

Cromwell called his unelected rule 'the commonwealth' It is pretty much the same now.

No one has a coherent vision for a post modern post industrial post Covid world

They are simply working towards unassailable positions of power, in the hope that even if the plebs die in droves, they wont

... and the conspiracy theorists.

The latter have caused the deaths of countless people by spreading ant-vax lies. The anti-renewable-energy lot (it's difficult to accept that people really can be so stupid as to claim that renewable energy doesn't/can't work, given the huge numbers of examples of it working, now, in the real world) will continue to cause countless deaths from pollution. So their victims have, in effect, been led over the edge of the cliff.

It works to make money.It doesn't work to generate reliable electricity and it doesnt work to reduce carbon emissions

But you need to understand engineering to see that.

will continue to cause countless

The people who will kill millions are the people who mandated renewable energy.

I now see that you are nothing but a troll, and without the understanding of engineering that you claim.

I repeat where is your *EVIDENCE* that protests within the EU are any more or less violent compared with ours.

Again, if it's simply a matter of engineering, you should be able to provide a link to support this claim with *EVIDENCE*, but you don't, because you know you can't, because it's just another of your endless lies.

Again, where is your *EVIDENCE* in support of this claim?

He is reputed to have had some at one time, but I've never seen the slightest evidence of it in any of his posts, which are clearly from a bigoted fool who's senility is becoming all too obvious to ignore.

I have a first class honours degree in electrical engineering I have been researching the subject over 10 years. You? Ah. you read it in the NY times I guess. In an article written by an Art Student

Its all there in the data and what is happening to Western grids and in the spiralling electricity prices

I am not interested in convincing bigots. Time will show whether or not what I claim has merit.

I have a 1st Class Honours Degree in Mathematics & Computing, and I've been debunking for over 10 years your continuous lies about climate change, the EU, nuclear power, and various others of your endless bigotries as when they are endlessly recycled.

Still no *EVIDENCE* given, c'mon, where is it?

Time is already showing that your bigoted claims above have no merit whatsoever.

Translates literally as "tail comparison", so I presume the vernacular would be "arse comparison" :-)

Yes, it's a problem that, by answering, you encourage the troll, but I think worse is that by not answering and not debunking his shit, it remains around for ever as dog-shit for others to step in - at least this way every lie is debunked, so the next thing that people read after the lie is the debunking, and thus can avoid being misled by the lies.
