Yes, and its beautiful and sad, but I think that when they say "we are destroying the planet", "the planet" is us. It's called anthropocentrism.Hmmmmmm I think it would be that the Earth will be just fine. People run around saying that we are destroying the planet, using it up and poisoning it for profit. Well my fact is that Earth will be just fine. The ecosystem will maybe be completely different, humans will certainly be gone and the cockroaches may be in charge but Earth itself will go on -- just as if we never existed. Reptiles evolved around 320 million years ago. Dinosaurs dominated the Earth for approximately 165 million years and are still around now in the guise of birds. Fish evolved somewhere around 530 million years ago. Somewhere between 300 and 500 thousand years ago modern man appeared. We have only been here for a blink in time and we will not be missed.
I really like your plan, but it means five threads, right? Five competitions. Wouldn't it be better to have just one competition?Yeah, it's not like I don't have piles of things I'm already doing.
Well, I'm not sure where I would put the awards. When I did it originally, the awards were hosted in Member+ as it was quite active and had a lot of people trying to earn coins.
After all AI was moved to P4, I did an award per one of my threads with a first, second, third, and honorable mention(s) for each thread. Perhaps I could do the same thing, but allow the winners come from any version of the same thread, so M+ Redheads, P1 Redheads, and P4 Readhead threads would all be competing for the same award.
Like I did previously, I'd give better prizes to those in need of coins than those who already have the ranks.
Thoughts on these prize payouts?
Contestants with P4+ (or who can afford it):
- First - 750 ActivityCoins
- Second - 500 ActivityCoins
- Third - 250 ActivityCoins
- Honorable Mention(s) - 125 ActivityCoins
Contestants without:
- First - 1,500 ActivityCoins
- Second - 1,000 ActivityCoins
- Third - 500 ActivityCoins
- Honorable Mention(s) - 250 ActivityCoins
Lenin considered him a 'Pan-Russian chauvinist bureaucrat—authoritarian, intolerant, and arbitrary.' And more than once Lenin said that he was brutal and lacked of imagination. I'm sure that Trotsky would have been better, but, although he was more intelligent and cultivated, he had no chance against Stalin.Yes, even before dying Lenin regretted choosing him as a successor. Should have picked Trotsky, but even they still had lingering antisemitism.
