Arbitrary assertions and nonsensical arguments have the same cognitive status. Zero. You know no more about reality than you did before the nonsense was spewed. Before it or after, not knowing is not evidence for anything, including possibility of anything in the name of imagined "truth"..

"Authoritarianism, politics, fawning, and hysteria are logical grounds requiring rejection an assertion"
They are grounds for rejecting an argument, not an assertion. If I make up a crazy argument for a claim, it does not say anything about the claim's truth.

Authoritarianism, politics, fawning, and hysteria are logical grounds requiring rejection an assertion as cognitively worthless, as if it had never been said, not accepting it as a possibility in reality. Rejecting it is not "hardcore ignorant".

Yes, choice is better.

Choice is good , mandated behavior not so good.

I'm sorry guy's driving an electric car is a blast A few months ago I purchased a 2012 Nissan Leaf at 1/4 of the the original sticker price 9 out of ten rating on the battery pack. Actually, using the Leaf app and a OBDE pull-in module found that only one segment of the battery pack lost capacity. But driving back and forth to my new part-time job in the city I live in works out very well. Plus pulling ahead of all the IC cars from a stop light is fun. My wife and I still have an IC car for out of town travel. I have an extended warranty for the battery pack so when the time comes I can get the higher Kilowatt pack, Though I hope they find a replacement for the Lithium Ion Batteries. Maybe a cross between capacitors and composite battery,

Authoritarianism, politics, fawning, and hysteria do not affect reality.

It's similar to fallacy fallacy, which is that finding a fallacy in an argument makes its conclusion false.

The authoritarian, politically correct obsequiousness to the mantra of the climate hysteria movement is all over the media, education and government. It's not a strawman.

Thanks. These really look interesting :-)

"the climate hysteria mantra"
If we're just talking about straw men, then it's easy. It's hard to take the undesirable facts and respond to them.

Followup: a 6'2" driver has 2-3" head clearance in the T3-1 trike.

I'll check with the manufacturer about the height. As I recall, the company president is over 6' himself. I'll let you know what I find.

Ditto

Rejecting the climate hysteria mantra is not "hardcore ignorant". There are True Believers as well as opponents who don't understand science, and some opponents project fallacious 'silver bullet' arguments that are wrong, but there are good grounds to reject the mantra, both scientific and as a logical rejection of something promoted arbitrarily and by authoritary with no attempt at explanation.

I watched the entire Titanic at the theater and I can clearly state without equivocation~SPOILER ALERT!~that the ship sank.
Apocalypto ended well for Jaguar Paw. Not only did he escape Mayans vengeful over him killing a chieftain's son on his way out of Dodge, he knew just what to say when his rescued wife (with their children) told him they should go meet the newly-landed Spaniards no one had never seen or heard of before.
Jaguar Paw said, "We go deeper into the forest."
Way to go, JP!

Well My wife and I walked out of the movie Titanic.with a hour to go
This ending seemed telegraphed no need to view more tha a minute to know it wasn't going to end well.

I could wear you out with questions as I love to tap an objectivist's mind.

Their gig is pretty much always revolves about the social injustice of someone being mistreated.
Everyone who is better off is to socialism sacrifice to level the playing field and to spread the wealth around and to do this on a global basis without any dirty fossil fuels. .
Oh, all are to sacrifice except for the oh so special more than equal elite betters we'll need to run all our united Venezuelas for us--or else!

As far as savagery goes, the Mayans were hardly any better than the Aztecs or any murdering satanists who used religion in a horrendous way to gain power.
The only difference is that satanists knowingly choose to worship evil.
This clip is from a movie about the Mayans and what they did to surrounding tribes. One of their captives is Jaguar Paw, one of my favorite fictional heroes~

For me, you'd be fun. I've got a feeling we'd have plenty to discuss, like my theory of dark energy. You "electrified" me to add to it along with Ugly Old.

Here is a cheer to innovation and invention . Thanks bspielb

Hydrogen fuel cell. Unlimited fuel. No pollution from electricity generation to charge batteries. The separation of water into H & O2 can be done as part of the new nuclear reactor technology that is coming online in labs. They actually run on nuclear waste. Here's just one example. https://www.technologyreview.com/s/51...

Please you now offend the Mayans who were far more advanced than the Viromanipulators .
The sun makes more sense as something to worship then a 40' owl.https://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNpQ6k...
