At the time, all of what we think of as the sea between Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, and on up to Thailand and Taiwan, and the whole South China and Yellow Seas up to Korea was all dry land, like a million square miles of it.

Borneo was high ground. Most of what was going on with humanity at the time, according to cave painting evidence, was there and is now almost all under water.

There is a hill on Java built over 20,000 years ago. Excavation was halted, by the Indonesian government, for reasons not expressed.



FYI, you were shadowbanned four days ago, probably automatically for your multiple flagged-to-death comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33208156. Maybe you should try to appeal to the mods.


They weren't shadow banned: they were explicitly banned:

Doesn't surprise me at all that the nuclear fan-community here is playing dirty.


Most of his comments in that thread are not flagged, nor even grayed. Most which are grayed or flagged are ones like this:

In response to "How exactly will you be 100% renewable during a cloudy and windless period with solar and wind?" he commented "Trolling is unwelcome here, thank you." Seems like a justified flagging to me; with no supporting argument that comment amounts to nothing more than a bare insult.

Not a justified flagging. It is trolling. People who make that argument about unreliability are at best dishonest. To make that argument either means you know next to nothing about renewable energies other than that wind and sun aren't consistent. Or you are purposefully lying.

It is a form of gaslighting. These kind of arguments have been discussed to death but "renewable energy isn't consistent" is either to understand than it is to refute. It takes pages of text to fully explain this and only a few words to repeat the allegation. Sprinkle in a few claims about nuclear power being the only alternative to global warning (with even less proof) and you can shout down anyone who disagrees.
