"Public intellectuals" are so cringe, they are like Hollywood celebrities. Imagine you have a Youtube channel where you review plastic knickknacks and for some reason you get on some talk show hosted by a dyke and become trendy for a few days in the gay pop culture memesphere, and your pathetic pseudofame snowballs, and suddenly you start walking around town with your head held higher and your back straighter, wearing nicer clothes, smiling more and acting more confident, because now your unconscious peasant hindbrain knows you're SOMEONE IMPORTANT! And someone walks up to you and goes "Uh, uh, Mr. Retard! Mr. Retard, sir! What's your opinion on TOAST? HEALTHY? OR UNHEALTHY?" and your first reaction isn't to go "What the fuck do I know about toast nigger?" it's to scratch your chin thoughtfully and go "Hmm.. Ah yes.. Toast.. Well, as an extremely famous, important person, I'll tell you what I think. I think.. Toast.. is fine."

That's a celebrity. Imagine being such a pathetic Jew's dog as Jonathan "Who?" Franzen, and some Jew journo comes and goes Uhhh Mr Franzen! Mr Franzen what do you think about CLIMATE CHANGE as a third-rate hack author from a bygone cultural moment around 2001! Mr. Franzen sir we need you to explain what to do about the clouds! and your first response isn't to go "Please, My name is just Jonathan. Why are you asking me this? Is this because of those books I wrote twenty years ago? I'm trying to buy groceries and I have to go spend time with my kids or my friend." but instead to go Ah yes.. I'm being CALLED BACK INTO ACTION.. as JONATHAN FRANZNER, THE AUTHOR....

There should be a litmus test for public intellectuals and people in the public eye in general, where you go up to them and ask them something that subtly blows smoke up their ass and implies they're important by default just for existing because they were in a TV show nobody fucking cares about from 7 years ago, and if they try to affect or perform some kind of gay little instagram "I'm so unique and important" persona instead of just being confused why you're asking them something that lies outside their expertise, you immediately vaporize them

Not the person you replied to, but his remark does follow from the openingspost. The "big companies" won't change their policy if it is not profitable. And, if nothing changes, we might as well prepare.

Yes, the army of scientists aren’t lying when they tell you the climate is going to kill us all off if we don’t change this. Put a bullet in your empty head.
