Why would you feel this way...most of us were born into this world not knowing anything about climate change...I only learned about it in 2007...Scientists have known about this problem, at least, since the 1950s....It has been shown, many times over, that the primary responsibility (of no longer burning fossil fuels) falls onto a handful (or so) of very large corporations...Of course, they want the every day person to feel guilty and have been pushing green-washing propaganda for decades onto all of us...propaganda works in their favor to deflect the blame off of themselves and onto you and I.
Right now, China and India must get on board quickly in order for the future populations to subvert the worst case scenarios.
The media love to remind all of us of the so-called 1% but NEVER mention the 0.0001%. Roughly 400 Americans that have an unimaginable amount of wealth. Not Jeff Bezos, Not Elon Musk nor anyone that is publicly acknowledged.
Wealth Shown to Scale has shown all of us, for many years, the diseased dragons lying on mountains of gold. These are the ones that own and control almost everything that happens on Earth.
Any reason why the site seems focused primarily on biblical scholarship, rather than world religions more broadly?
It is a niche subject area that I've been actively involved with for a very long time -> academic biblical scholarship. World religions is fascinating/interesting but it falls way outside of my expertise and involvement.
If I can think of a question I’ll contribute, I just don’t have anything atm.
As the overall community grows, and there is more demand for niche communities, we will add these. We just aren't there yet. Thanks for your support and reaching out.
Just an update for you. Your question is a good one and the scholars are eager to answer it. However, we've identified one of our first major bugs with the software and it is preventing the scholars from answering your question. The developer is working on hunting down the root cause of the problem so it can be fixed.
All of that being said, thank you for helping us test out the software. It's going to pay off huge for the future of the site.
My favorite Pogues album by far.
