I'm suffering badly from that thing where I feel like I have nothing to say, but also way too much to say. I don't want to get started, it will take too long.
I got into a disagreement with my brother, Eightball, regarding global warming. He has subscribed to the notion that instead of warming we're going into another ice age, because he's seen more snow in the southwestern US this year than usual. He thinks this has something to do with sunspot activity being low, which happens every 11 years, but somehow is linked with ice ages. If this were the case I'd have experienced four ice ages in my lifetime... I think I would have noticed. But I know the connections were made for him by a computer generated voice on YouTube. I've tried to listen to some of these vids he's sent me links for, and I can't understand why he falls for these incredibly vague and tenuously built arguments.
This is all so frustrating for me, because I love Eightball like crazy - he's a good-hearted person who's always been about saving the world. I actually think the problem is that he can't stand to believe that humans are killing the world, that the world is going to die. I think it's too overwhelming for him. He also won't believe that those kids were shot at Sandy Hook, and I think it's because the concept is too evil for him to contemplate. When I start to hypothesize about what the fuck is going on with YouTube and these videos I know I sound more paranoid than a fringer. I feel certain they are designed to drive wedges between decent people to divide our efforts so evil can win.
