Empiricism aims (intentions) are to promote accurate evidence-based information. The general theme of this account is related to promoting #sustainable development. Sustainable development requires mitigating ecological degradation therefore also mitigating #ClimateChange & its associated drivers such as pollution & habitat degradation. This account will not “sugar-coat” the required level of changes needed for humanity to reverse the trend of human-caused ecological degradation.
Historically, & presently, climate change is mitigating humanity (e.g., increases in the frequency & intensity of heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, sea level rise, flash floods, pathogen outbreaks, etc)
Since no one person be informed of all the scientific literature, if a reader thinks that Empiricism makes a statement that is not backed up by the general scientific literature, please refer Empiricism to the relevant peer-reviewed science publication (e.g., paper or website)
Because a Mastodon instance can close down without warning or a Mastodon admin can suspend an account without warning - Empiricism regularly backups the “follows” & “followers” lists. Therefore, if Empiricism can not access this account (e.g., a suspension means the account can’t be moved to another instance), Empiricism will open an account on another Mastodon instance & re-follow the follows list and contact (e.g., direct message) the follower's list (e.g., requesting if people would like to re-follow)

What can you do when faced with unethical people that you know can't be reasoned with?
Behave better than them!
The mainstream media do not represent all people's views. The media represents the views of the people that own and control the media. But, the mainstream media and the political correspondents generally influence what the general population is talking about.
For example, whatever your views, who made #Brexit happen? The people (voters) or the media?
Wow! What insects are most attracted to these flowers?

Oh, CAPITALS, why didn't you just phrase it that way the first time, then more folk would of believed you :)
When people such as #elonmusk don't want the #nature based solutions to mitigate #climate change because they're more interested in selling and using #technology
Or when a politician doesn't believe in climate change or hasn't got a clue how to mitigate climate change or is another deceitful business person.
Or when people on social media actually seem to believe that buying an electric car is doing their "bit" for the climate.
It's time to consider people's #psychology
Not specifically "crazy", but what are they not thinking about and what is their morality?
Please look up the word recreational.
For example, many people choose to have campfires, BBQs, etc (they ignore the medical evidence because they want to)
"Trapped within a system"
Not in this context. Their behavioral psychology means they're making the wrong choice (people do that!). "Trapped" to go on that diesel burning cruise ship 🤔
"biological - pressure to conform"
That is certainly one aspect. Especially when young people feel as if they must conform to foolish adult activities.
Some unethical people will find this offensive
Seriously, in the context of folk psychology & the environment they live in - the "lights" are on but nobody is "home"!
How can you educate (unethical) idiots without offending them?
I think many people are aware that greenhouse gas emissions = bad!
Many people are aware that traffic emissions = bad!
Many people should be aware that wood smoke = bad!
Can NASA "rewire" human psychology as clearly some folk are choosing bad.
#ClimateChange #money #politics #business
There are people that even when you refer to the evidence that shows how to live an ecologically sustainable lifestyle, they ignore that evidence & say, to paraphrase, "we're screwed!".
Their personal idealogy does not align with living #sustainably (a personal conflict of interest)
A person hears that burning fuel is harmful for people & planet. But, they choose to take part in recreational fuel burning activities, what are they?
As mentioned. The welsh government has policies that are advocating that people buy & develop land sustainably. This is happening within a capitalist economy.
The more countries that adopt a similar approach to Wales, the more people take the path towards sustainable lifestyle, rather than, for example, telling folk "we are screwed" on social media, the less "screwed" we will be.
The personal, password encrypted, ID, is a file that's stored on a persons home PC, Mobile, etc (not a centralised place nor fediverse admin instance). A "key" file.
The ID also consists of a persons conections ("followers ", "follows").
Generally, the ID (a persons personally password protected file) is a local file that is used so a person can ID themselves to their conections.
Completely possible using encryption.
The pros & cons question was related to the social aspect.

Have you noticed that when you feel thirsty, drinking water instantly quenches your thirst. But, physiologically, it will take a while for that water to be absorbed into your bloodstream.

FYI, please contact Sam & ask him to talk about ecological #sustainability as he's unusually quite about that subject
A common complaint is #Mastodon admin suspended someone's account without warning. So, people lose many of their online connections.
This is the biggest flaw with Mastodon & the #fediverse in general (sure, it's much better than Twitter, etc....But?)
This problem could be solved by having our own unique (& anonymous if wanted) password protected fediverse ID.
So, adimin can kick you off their instance, but they can't delete your online conections.
So, online encrypted ID. Pros & cons?

Generally, using a similar code as crypto currency wallets.

GETTING STUXED; when you lose a good chunk of your online connections because an instance admin chucked your instance into the suspension bin in a fit of rage, without warning or due process, and then reverses the decision less then 24 hours later, leaving you to clean up the mess, and try to reconnect.
How to use in a sentence;
“Hey, not heard from you in a while, turns out I wasn't following you any longer?! Weird.”
“Yeah, sorry, got stuxed a few weeks ago, no idea who else is still missing :(“

We can never have too much nature!
We can (do) have too much technology! Too much quantity with a poor quality.
1st the plan. The path to success.
2nd the action. Start walking that path (step by step)
Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015: the essentials
Sustainable development is about improving the way that we can achieve our economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being
https://www.gov.wales/well-being-future-generations-act-essentials-html
If we are to develop an ecologically sustainable culture we will have to use some imagination regarding how that culture can be. Because, the lifestyles of the current culture are not sustainable.
A change of general culture is what we will do (eventually)
I too try to use the best of the available lower greenhouse gas options.
