“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”
— Galileo Galilei

Within a Bayesian psychometric analysis, I am 110% certain that humankind is solely responsible for climate change; because, if not by material activity, then by conscious opinion manifesting as science.
— ZP5

Forgive me, Nihilism by its lonely sad self aggrandizement, causes illness to exist in me. For real, it exists that way. Happily, there is a cure.
— ZP5

"Human beings are selfish, small minded, violence-prone savages; civilization is a blight on the earth; the rising tide of chaos that surrounds us on all sides ensures that everything's going to fall apart any day now. Right? ..... Wrong, says Rob Brezsny. In fact evil is boring. Cynicism is stupid. Despair is lazy. The truth is that the universe is inherently our friend. Life is a sublime game created for our amusement and illumination, and it always gives us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it."

" ... in modern mechanized warfare there is no warrior, no chance to be a warrior (with dignity), just little human boys in different uniforms ... so what Bly went on to say is that most men in this country cannot grieve, cannot experience grief! Good Grief Charlie Brown! ... Now the crux of the matter as Bly sees it and as my father saw it and Spiritual God-Father Mr A. Green, the full blooded Cherokee tattoo artist who lived in the apt next door for my first 13 yrs ... The heart of the matter has to do with the "warrior" in themselves. This "warrior" is not the one who goes to war. No this "warrior" is the one who goes through life with a quiet goal and sees it through "Come hell or high water" to use an apt a phrase."
— Father to ZP5, 8/23/1990

If you are trying to help someone who has an “paranoid” mentality, they interpret your action as an attempt to oppress them or infiltrate their territory. But if you decide not to help them, they interpret that as a selfish act: you are seeking comfort for yourself. If you present both alternatives to them, then they think you are playing games with them. The “paranoid” mentality is quite intelligent: it sees all the hidden corners. You think that you are communicating with a “paranoid” face to face, but in actual fact he is looking at you from behind your back. This intense paranoia is combined with an extreme efficiency and accuracy which inspires a defensive form of pride. The “paranoid” mentality is associated with wind, speeding about, trying to achieve everything on the spot, avoiding all possibilities of being attacked.

Task force climate change

Hello ZuluPapa5,

You are currently noted as a participant of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. With much of the activity in this task force about ten years ago, I think it's time for a revival. Global warming is getting a lot of attention in the media now and it's therefore important our articles are up-to-date, accurate and neutral.

I've updated the task force page and the to do list and invite you to have a look at the page again, add something to the TO DO list or start collaborating by improving one of our many articles. If climate change has lost your interest, feel free to remove your name from the participants list.

status check? Hi, I've been editing climate since 2011 and your name doesn't look familiar. May I move you to the "inactive" status at the task force? You can always move back to "active" whenever you like. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 10:34, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@NewsAndEventsGuy: Yes, please take me off the list. I remain under topic ban there, from years ago. Kindly Zulu Papa 5 * (talk) 02:06, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
