I wonder if we should move beyond this messaging. It’s well known to the smart half of the population that climate change is happening. There is apparently some debate on the cause. But this point is mostly irrelevant, it is problem-oriented thinking. By keeping the conversation in the problem-realm you invite troglodytes into the conversation to insert their bullshit. Instead, if we move forward with “presumption of truth” solutions-based messaging, we can start to talk about what we’re going to do.

Climate control is something more people will be on board with compared to trying to have a conversation about climate science to a person who didn’t graduate high school.

Presuming that you yourself have "graduated" (what from is unclear), it's particularly audacious that you make this claim because it shows rather cleanly how poor a marker of quality an education is.

The answer has never laid in ever more elaborate designs to disenfranchise particular members of the population. It's always been in building community.

A community is what helps stabilize, helps tighten up distributions, and wrestles most authentically with the general premise that we are social creatures and only as strong as our weakest link.

If you think you're going to build the perfect society by way of careful electorate curation, I have some unfortunate stories to tell you.

A very bad idea, leading to the authocracies and despotias like clockwork. A small relief is to see the authors of the initial segregation getting banned too eventually, but it is too late to fix anything. "Tovarisch Stalin, a terrible mistake has happened!"
