Nuclear war’s effect on the biosphere would be orders of magnitude worse than the effects of climate change.
Putin can (and does) claim anything at any time. No reason to worry about giving him ammunition to claim shit.
This is not an idea I came up with, but I haven’t seen it anywhere else and I don’t remember where I heard it.
Basically the rules are:
- Every vote on every question is handled by direct democracy
- But, you can assign your vote to another person at any time. ie Give them your voting power so now they have two votes on any topic
- Furthermore, a person to whom you’ve assigned your vote can in turn assign it to someone else.
- You can always see who’s wielding your vote power, you can see who assigned it to whom
- Any time you want, you can take your vote back
So basically I can assign my vote to Bob because I trust his judgment. Bob can assign mine and his own to Alice, because Bob trust’s Alice’s judgment.
I can check what’s happening with my vote, and see that it’s been assigned to Bob, who assigned it to Alice, etc.
There is no limit to the number of reassignments that can happen.
Basically it’s direct democracy by default, but with an infinitely and dynamically scaleable structure of delegation layers in between.
A person can be as involved or uninvolved as they want. Their minimum involvement would be choosing which friend they trust to handle their vote. Maximum involvement could mean seeking to convince millions of others to trust you with their vote. Or getting thousands of intermediate delegates to delegate all their voting power to you.
First time I understand, but next time you need to inquire with the escort service about the things that are important to you.

Drink a glass of water upon waking up.
Twenty years ago someone mentioned this to me, how the body tends to be dehydrated upon waking and that’s part of why waking up sucks.
Since then I’ve been drinking a glass of water almost immediately after waking up.
It’s only been today. My gut is telling me it’ll be fine by end of day.
Went to the store and just grabbed stuff off the hot bar by intuition. A big meatball, some steamed broccoli and bell peppers, roasted carrots and potatoes. All the gas stopped when I ate that stuff.
Most of my health issues these days last like half a day. I’ve gotten a lot better at trusting my body when it asks for a certain food.
No idea why that set of stuff ended the gas, but it did.
