"If you would spend as much energy forwarding the redeeming efforts of human life on planet earth as you do eyeballing the market in catastrophes, you would be building a better planet."

Your opinion, which IMO is advocating NOT looking at the consequences of your action, nor at the possibility that humans will act other than as you desire.


"If you would spend as much energy looking at potential catastrophes, seeking to avoid them, as you do forwarding the redeeming efforts of human life on planet earth, you would be building a better planet. "


My opinion. Please note I did NOT say "more" energy, nor did I say NOT to forward the redeeming efforts of human life.

"Second, as to your puerile inversion of my sentence, I respectfully request that you not do that anymore. Except at recess."


Since I do not agree with your statement, and feel mine is a better expression of how a reasonable person, aware of human beings as less than gods, should think, I respectfully request that YOU do not tell others how to think. Except at recess.
