hey everybody shut up for a second and listen to Gregory
If you are a fiction reader and have ever loved a LONG and complex novel, I can recommend "The Revisionaries" without a single reservation beyond... it is a long, winding, fantastical journey that can feel disorienting.

This is by far the most brilliant take down of the Gates memo that I’ve read. It utterly dismantles the false choice between poverty alleviation and climate mitigation that Gates advances — and not even just by saying “climate makes poverty worse.”
I won’t spoil it here — you must read it!

I quite enjoyed a lot of the takedowns of Bill Gates' EA brain snap on climate. It is really deadassed in a number of ways.
But no-one mentioned the most important thing. He isn't *just* full of shit. He knows he is full of shit.

Did you hear about that “one low-income country set out to cut emissions by banning synthetic fertilizers”?
