Another tea-party COP31 in November 2026 (In Antalya / Turkey) that is going to be 100% wishful thing and %0 concrete action?
But we cannot simply avoid this 2026 guy right. He is going to join us no matter what. So maybe the best attitude is to keep having a positive mindset?
…Positivity and enthusiasm does indeed help us in solving most of the issues that were mentioned above right?

Positivity and enthusiasm have been shown to be exactly twice as helpful as wishful thinking.

New year, new problems. That's how I perceive it.

Let’s all go into 2026 with savior of the universe energy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Best New Year’s advice: clean your toilet now, because your face may be in it later.

Does that mean you don’t drink any less, either? Sorry, VERY old joke.

Same procedure as last year?
