interesting article, geoff... Interesting theory and I hadn't thought of it. I do think, though, that a major part of climate denialism is the product of money that funds anti-science thinktanks, that then spin all kinds of propaganda, and so on.
Now I have a reason to NOT read BD, not that I ever have opened up an issue.
Ahhh - the "Death Denial" syndrome would explain why a huge percentage of architects don't think climate change is a man-made problem, as reported in this month's Architect magazine.
Honestly, this fear of death that drives a need to build a "permanent" monument to one's self is one of the least attractive aspects of architects' presonalities. Ugh. All is dust, guys. And that's a good thing.
thx liberty bell. I had not seen that!!! Alarming.
C'mon, are we going to be the thought police now? Are we going to insist on ideological purity? She can say whatever she wants on her twitter stream, I say all kinds of absurd shit on mine, that's what it's for.
@sevensixfive Me too, but see her new editorial. f that's not a clear position that she has now articulated, then I don't know what is.
Alright, yeah, I agree. If it's in an editorial, she's fair game. It's on.
It'll be a good thing, in the end, to have someone articulate a viewpoint like hers. The worst it can do is bring out the many people who will tell her all the ways in which she is wrong.
