jkgktnrnfnf··on The Dangerous Ideas of “Longtermism” and “Existential Risk”
They are attacked because they are committing blasphemy against the church of climate change.

There is no threshold for blasphemy, even the tiniest one must be punished and made an example of so that others don't get any ideas that blasphemy will be tolerated.

jkgktnrnfnf··on Cheap material converts heat to electricity
Not true.

For example you could convert the heat into photons (infrared radiation) and beam that out of the room without needing a pipe. You would probably need an infrared transparent patch on the window to aim at.
