Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It is in God’s power, every day, to cast every last one of us into hell, and deliver the dominion of planet earth to a species that never defied Him the way man did, never complained when they were well off, and never flung His gifts to them in His face, in hope that they will glorify Him better than we ever did.
(Dogs come to mind for some reason.)
Some of us are slapped down for suggesting that the root of all evil is not money (which the Bible does not claim anyway), but lust. More generally, evil comes from people not knowing when they’re well off, and harming themselves and other people chasing what they think they want, rather than trusting God to give them what they need.
(You probably don’t need to listen to an hour long lecture to understand that though. Just some life experience.)
I’m thankful to have reached a time in life that i can walk away from the working life. Two influential souls passed at 50, and some lived to near 100+
Enjoy what you have, be kind.
Professor Jordan Peterson on climate change and climate policy at the Cambridge Union.
Mentions Lomborg, thinks he’s a genius.

“Lol, you can tell the student thought he was being so profound with that question.”
Hard to tell if “he” wasn’t actually a “she”
Seeing that clip again, of Jordan ranting, but watching the young audience, made me feel newly bleak.
Despite some of the salient points he made there, in an overly dramatic manner, I nonetheless now think he lost the majority of that audience, most of whom, given their body language, did not possess the context to appreciate the polemic.
Sure, perhaps a few of them cleaned up their room, but others forgot that they didn’t even grok at that very time what was being said, being too fixated on the grey beard with the Kermit voice and tight green pants.
You know it’s true.
The Peterson problemo.
Whaaaaattt!!!?? Spend money to save 1.6M who die from tuberculosis each year!?? What kind of insanity is that? … when we have even ONE person who still dies from AIDS!? What kind of a homophobe is Bjorn?
Not one dime should be spent on TB … until every bath house and glory hole is filled to capacity and there isn’t a condom in sight! Right? Isn’t THIS how we allocate our $$? According to how much “pride” we have?
After listening, I realized how much of a Socialist Lombard is. The people of his ilk, Still believe that government can solve the problems. Lombard is basically lazy, He doesn’t want to do the heavy lifting, of say, starting a foundation of like minded people and spending their own money. So they co-opt the government. It goes back to the question, what does the government do well?
True, but Lomborg is still growing up. I’m not talking age, I’m talking thought. He has removed the blinders on that which he knows best. That’s a strong first step. He’s increasingly becoming self reliant (looking at how governments are handling within which he is intimately involved). Seeing how government mismanages that with which it is entrusted is a real eye opener for many.
I doubt he will ever go full libertarian (because few of us do, I’m not one of them) but he’s starting to see that those who approach his viewpoint (of the correct way to deal with the problems that he knows best) are those who he had thought were his enemies.
I would have to be a mental cripple before needing advice for Peterson.
And that’s exactly his appeal. So many have wishy-washy parents, or no positive male role model in their lives, that saying “clean your room before presuming to tell me anything” has become a revolutionary act.
I find him hard to watch for any length of time because so much of what he says in ingrained in my philosophy of life, and the occasional dive into psychobabble (IMO) doesn’t deal with the real world so it’s not important enough for me to learn the language. I’ll stick with rock mechanics, rolling resistance, mass balances, permit boundaries, reclamation planning and the other necessary facets in Mining Engineering to continue the supply of (a chunk of) the largess that allows so many to not have to do these jobs themselves.
