We were talking lunar landing and space exploration, and suddenly global worming and self guilt-tripping.
If this is not mind conditioning, then I don't know what it is.
james_s that is exactly how any other animal or plant or even rock came into existence, by a chain of physical and chemical transformations. They all ARE the universe, not the parasites. Do you think humans are parasites because they multiply and fill their environment, any other living thing does the same. This is what life is.
You think 1970 was OK? I was just listening to an audiobook about the early 1900 years in Romania/Europe. The peasants were asking their masters to give them land, because there were too many people.
What I don't like about global warming is that I'm fear-mongered with it since I can remember. Al Gore and various scientists keep telling me in 10-20 the world will end. Since then, those 10-20 years deadlines have passed about 4 times now.
Another question I have is how that everybody is so sure that the increase in CO
2 is because of humans? In the past it was hundreds of times bigger, yet there were no humans and no industry back then. I'm talking about charts like these (Ma means "Million years ago"):

If you keep repeating the same thing to them, while fear-mongering and guilt-tripping them, they will eventually believe anything, and obey anything. Except when a population is pushed into survival mode. In such situations (e.g. hunger), all the brainwashing is dropped in favor of survival instincts.
Since I know nothing about long term history of the Earth, or about geology and alike, I can only look at other indicators, and it rather looks like propaganda to me. Not sure if it's an intentionally fueled propaganda, or if it's just a random trend that perpetuates itself because it was repeated too many times, like religions.
I might be wrong, but this is how it looks like to me, random dude that doesn't use social media: Any broader discussion, no mater how interesting (like moon landing/space exploration in this case), if it's broader, then it invariably degenerates into preaching the same few topics over and over. Global warming, gender issues, holocaust, racism, left vs right, things like that. Why? If you ask anybody in a face to face talk, they'll tell you they are sick of hearing about any of these subjects, so why it still happens? I think social media achieved mass brainwashing, intentionally or by accident, and it all self-fuels now. My rambling is too long already, gonna stop here.
