@skillsgaptrainer “Thank you for using oil for a worthy cause, such as showcasing nature, prosperity, technology, performance sports and driving freedom. Perhaps life really is better on the open road in nature, than in a condo prison without freedom.”
@wyleecoyotee4252 “Worthy cause? No”
@skillsgaptrainer @wyleecoyotee4252 “Your reaction to the syntax arrangement in the earlier comment is understandable. Thank you for pointing out the need for a clearer elaboration on the sentiment expressed earlier. We realize our intentions were briefly explained. This is our first understanding pertaining to oil use in Canada, so we cannot elaborate too much here. However, it will be a two or three years until our board members can find more time to complete an actual exploration and investigation on this subject, from authors such as Vaclav Smil.
The discussion around oil often elicits strong reactions. Our aim was not to diminish the cruciality of sustainability but to shed light on the possible benefits of oil and performance technology, supreme technology. Several of our team members see the value in using oil, if only momentarily, to reconnect city inhabitants with nature’s splendors and the tranquility of the countryside. By immersing urbanites in traditional rural cultures, we hope to forge a renewed bond between humans and nature, and between humans and other humans, fostering greater appreciation for aspects such as agriculture, oil, natural gas, diesel, mining, hunting, sports shooting, outdoor sports, performance sports, hiking, community sustenance, community nourishment, nourishing the neighbours who are in trouble, and traditional values. .
We didn’t say race car driving as a profession was worthy, we said that Pierre showcasing performance sports to his audience, is a worthy use of oil, as the “message” that it’s ok for Canada to have oil or gas industry solves several critical economic and critical advanced clean energy development problems that Canadians face and that the majority of the world’s nations face and need us to deploy modern systems into the various nation states, thus helping them to jump energy levels, to bypass as much oil, gas and coal systems deployment as possible. In the video, the video is worthy because Mr. Poilievre is promoting high quality technology that performs at a high level, and is simultaneously solving a social issue pertaining to Canada’s broken energy system and broken resource sector, through an entertaining video. Mr. Poilievre job function is not as a race car driver, so the context of the earlier comments are not pertaining to race car driving, as showcased and evidenced by the fact that the purpose of the video is not to demonstrate race car driving but to demonstrate Mr. Poilievre’s understanding of the fundamental problems or root causes creating the symptoms portfolio of problems in Canada. In essence, his video is worthy for Canada, as his message solves the energy fracture preventing Canada from functioning with low inflation and preventing Canada from jumping to a climate friendly energy level within the “energy hierarchy”. The video also connects the public to the requirements for the resolution of the current financial collapse, as a lot of the national debt is a type of “compensation agent” or “substitue” for the energy deficit that North America has been under since 1971. Such a goal is worthy, to reverse a national debt based system with an energy driven economy.
Further, it is worthy to inspire more concerted environmental and conservation endeavours among urbanites, as it improves mental health metrics for urbanites, which might significantly upgrade public safety through the renewed respect from urbanites for virtues, values and traditional 20th century character, often found in rural communities.
Further, within SGT, there’s a belief in advancing technological efficiencies and advocating a growth-centric economic policy. Such a policy is exemplified by Mr. Pierre Poilievre’s demonstration of high-performance technology in the video. The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, but we would recommend the Corvette for Mr. Pierre Poilievre and a Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro or Toyota Land Cruiser or 4Runner. By pushing technology to its fullest potential, we align with the viewpoint that efficient and cutting-edge technological advancements can mitigate the environmental drawbacks of earlier, less optimized solutions. Moreover, our vision, is to uplift the living standards for both humans and animals. A modest use of oil, in our initial first pass analysis, and quick glance at the matter, oil correlates with positive societal metrics like stable family formations, population growth, controlled inflation, and massively affordable housing development. Major factors such as these will destroy nations, and it is lucky for us that charts exist which show that oil was a major factor of success for these metrics to have worked well in the past. This leads to the idea, the tantalizing idea, when one consider the orders of magnitude improvement in energy per kg that nuclear can deliver versus oil per kilogram, one can only imagine the vast human potential and evolutionary potential of biological life and synthetic life, if humanity ever decides to deploy a decentralized network of Small Modular Reactors at scale. The first country to do this could become a global or space faring civilization, simply due to the correlation between energy and national development. Further, the autonomy to explore beyond the urban confines is something we value deeply in an age where citizens autonomy and sovereignty might be imperiled.
Recent speculations suggest global institutions influencing Western nations towards adopting energy-optimized city designs, ie: 15 minute city idea, and other ideas such as to make each building into its own city featuring all work, sports, night life, shopping and medicine to happen in the same building: designs which emphasize minimized movement for maximum energy efficiency. While we recognize the engineering rationale or motivations behind this, we believe in exploring alternative, more liberating, more intelligent approaches, and more aspirational engineering attempts and intelligent and non-exploitive urban designs for the 21st century. We question plans that seem to lower energy use by restricting human movement, resembling a tightly confined urban existence, or a prison camp. This engineering style might come from someone that has grown up in a very well off environment, and as such, may not understand or believe in themselves enough to pursue greater goals for humanity. We advocate for visions that inspire humanity to aim higher, goals and plans such as this often eminate from engineers which are from a poor background, and these type of engineers design things that do not confine humanity to camps but allow them to build starships, they look towards evolution and growth, not de-evolution and de-growth policies. Efficient engineering should encourage ambitious endeavours for society, such as advanced race cars, advanced aerospace technology, advanced space ships and initiatives that harness energies far more efficient than oil, millions* of times more efficient per kg, like Uranium.
Lastly, our commitment to transitioning from fossil fuels is there. We champion cleaner energy alternatives, encompassing natural gas, hydrogen, renewables, and innovative nuclear technologies, resilient / decentralized networks of Small Modular Nuclear (SMR), private decentralized solar on houses, 4th gen nuclear, or new Thorium-based systems. We believe it might be a good idea to listen to Japanese engineers that mentioned that an exceptionally fast adoption of LNG could position Canada at the forefront of eliminating fossil fuels, and allow the society deploy at scale next generation clean engineering infrastructure and experienced personnel necessary to solve the large climate change problem. Remember, it is not likely sitting in a room all day will solve this problem, but it is likely that asking hundreds of millions of workers in the West that are not currently participating in the labour force, in combination with physics, advanced engineering, large community of engineers developed throughout the mega clean energy projects, and associated mature energy sector/ecosystem, could help us create an economy that offers real clean energy solutions on a large scale to the 100+ countries that are set to adopt oil and gas energy systems. Any de-growth policy delays, as we had since 2015, in this energy transition to the highest energy operation level might cause irreversible harm to our planet’s ecosystems, by preventing us from putting other countries on the right path, affecting possibly billions of people, and the vast landscapes across the world might perish in drought into a lifeless ecosystem at best case scenario.
I hope this clarification, albeit crafted in a brief moment of reflection, provides a clearer window into our initial understanding. Perhaps in 5 years, we can give a better understanding. In the meantime, it looks like Mr. Poilievre has figured out the broken elements pertaining to the debt based growth system of Canada, and he is presenting a solution using a much more effective, much more simple and ingenious methods, allowing him to communicate to the public great ideas in a far more efficient and much more artistic way than we do.”
@silvereye007 @timpoolswigthafeeloff“You seem neither inquisitive nor intelligent. And not serious in any way. Your statements online about people being morons show that you hate people you don’t know, and that you like to label people or groups of people morons. It is fantastic that the tech companies are recording the data so as to know which person enjoys being a moron. Your evidence for your comment, looks like it was composed by a moron. Think about it, you made a false claim using a non existent statement that Skills Gap Trainer never made, and the non existent statement was the evidence for labelling others morons. All I see from you is a comments on YouTube calling strangers morons. Here’s a new concept since you are such an avid learner and educator “Law of Opposites”… the moron projects outwardly and sees their attributes in others.. seeing others as morons.”
