This did little to convince me that timezones are an unnecessary construct. Pretty much every point made was done from the perspective of someone who had already decided their opinion rather than objectively weighing the pros and cons.

Ok, call it whatever you want, I’m not really into labels. For context I believe in universal basic income, socialized healthcare, prison as a tool for rehabilitation instead of punishment, strong government regulations for corporations, high speed Internet access as a state run utility, and a bunch of other stuff that I don’t feel like listing out.

Anecdotally this hasn’t been true for me. I spent my 20s barely getting by. In my 30s and early 40s I’ve had a series of lucky breaks that have enabled me to move into a much higher paying job resulting in luxuries like home ownership, retirement money etc. and if anything I’ve become more liberal.

I also don’t have or want children so maybe that factors in?

To shreds you say

Ooh! It could have animatronics that sing songs about what it was like being a whaler on the moon!

If we want to start discussing the material processing effort then it’s going to be pretty hard to call any energy source carbon neutral. The concrete for dams and the steel for windmills don’t appear out of thin air.
