    When our living conditions deteriorate gradually, we adapt to these conditions instead of fixing of them. But sudden threats get sorted out immediately.

    Coal has done far more damage than nuclear energy ever will, but coal has over 2300 stations worldwide and nuclear has 400.

    A perfect example of the ‘Boiling Frog Syndrome’.

      I read somewhere that the boiling frog thing is total bullshit. They’ll totally jump out once the water gets too hot.

        The frogs only stayed in the water because Friedrich Goltz lobotomized the frogs beforehand. Which makes it a perfect metaphor because the Murdoch media has definitely lobotomized the public.

        still applies i think
