In a scathing op-ed, LGBTQ Nation Heroes nominee Melissa Gira Grant urges us to ask ourselves how we didn’t see someone like Johnson coming…

      No. I don’t get paid to say anything here. I am practicing the art of communicating things I want to help other people understand. I lack enough skill in exactly that and this platform serves well to develop it in order to accomplish my objective.

          Stop the inevitable death of all human life on earth. Inevitable, as in, within the next decade. If not the baking planet, then the bio-, tech-, software-, etc.- viruses, or the microplastics, pollutions, etc. etc. etc.

          I have the only solution viable but in two decades of attempting to teach anyone willing to listen, only one has gotten far enough to understand the logic. I just managed to add a second one willing to listen but IDK if he understands it yet. I have had about a dozen express a willingness to learn but no one has actually finished the lesson yet. I even offer a free computer in exchange for taking the “class” and teaching me how to teach people.

          I need to learn cuz I am, to say so mildly, unorganized in my teaching. I know this and thus offer something to anyone willing to teach me how to teach. No but a very rare few listen to origin of this logic. I want to figure out how to increase the number of those aware of the logic itself. Orders of magnitude a larger a population aware of the logic.

          Logic becomes understood by the masses, we will easily reorganize the entire planet of society with disintegrate and rebuild itself into something that may not only survive but save life’s existence from the inevitable EOTW incoming.

            Try to limit your arguments to premises that are largely independently accepted, so it’s less of a leap for people to see how you got to your conclusion.

            You come across a bit like me 20 years ago, when I had ideas that may have had merit, but my ability to communicate and reason wasn’t at the level necessary to get others onboard.

            Each time you make a bold jump in reasoning that isn’t perfectly supported by accepted premises, you lose some % of your readers (assuming they are interested in fact, rather than opinion).

              I’d accept that if death wasn’t going to be here tomorrow.
