World Bank calls on countries to take urgent steps to protect 'natural capital'

25. You are more than welcome to support your "call" with reason and data.

You seem to have lost context of the remark about "training".

Glider Guider18. Actually, you are usually just pointing out that you disagree with me. You tend to couch that disagreement in terms of Right© and Wrong©, however.

I have a very different worldview than you. When someone has been raised in a binary, dualistic, zero-sum culture such as ours, and still subscribes to that framework as strongly as you seem to, it can be difficult to see others as merely Different©, since your training dictates that everything must be either Right© or Wrong©.

kristopher 21. Yes and no.

Yes I am pointing out that I disagree with you, however my "training" has equipped me to distinguish between disagreements based on values and disagreements based on evidence.

The way one interprets the evidence exposes the nature of their values, and often the underlying beliefs that form those values. I have no trouble distinguishing these elements of your posts and my criticisms are leveled accordingly. You have every right to treasure the beliefs you come to the table with. However when you seek to defend or promote that view with the use of factually inaccurate evidence then it seems natural to me that the evidence is subject to challenge.

Since I don't see where you find the supposed claim of superiority you are reacting to, I think your apples are more of the crab variety.
