  • If Saudi Aramco was a country, it would be the fourth biggest polluter in the world after China, the US and India, while ExxonMobil is responsible for about the same emissions as Germany, the world’s ninth biggest polluter, according to the data.

    Wouldn’t that be counting the same emissions twice? As the fuel they produce is likely to be used in countries like China, India, Germany. In other words: a calculation as usefull as taking the sum of assets and liabilities in a balance sheet.

    It’s not like they make the fuel, and then burn it, for the fun of it. It’s supply matching demand. Take away a supplier, another will substitute.

    I feel so ignorant all the time, like I don’t know enough to speak on any issue. When I do speak, I feel like I always miss something, some detail of the bigger picture

    In my opinion that’s a good thing, as long as it doesn’t stop you from communicating (for your benefit, but also for mine, because I enjoy reading your posts here :)) or acting on your ideas.

    Everyone always misses (some detail of) the bigger picture. What’s happening is that some people are more aware of that than others. I think you might like Daniel Kahneman’s work on this subject.

    Industry and logistics are an integral part of an army. It doesn’t stop at soldiers.

    That’s exactly what’s happening in Ukraine: EU lacks (military and other) industry to support very capable soldiers.

    The fact that France still has an industry is because they understand the above and value defense. If others did too, Ukraine would be in a better military position.
