There's no such thing as a shortage,

it's like workers

it's just a manipulation tactic to trick people to have less kids

that's all it is

it's a matter of how much you're willing to PAY

You mean to tell me that oil just comes out of the ground magically and the soil just magically fixes itself?

And that minerals just magically get mined out of the ground?

The thing is we can develop a different energy source that's less expensive than mining asteroids

And it's not magic, but looking at things pragmatically, it is used as an excuse to lower fertility rates

I would be down to setup an Amish like community somewhere

I’m talking about Earth and America’s resources. Don’t get me wrong America is filled with resources, but it will run out eventually

Hi talking about Earth and America’s resources. Don’t get me wrong America is filled with resources, but it will run out eventually, I'm Dad!

Yeah far after we're all dead

well, technically, we don't really run out of resources. We just change them into other forms of matter. If we can find ways of 'recycling' that, we're good

But we need to secure a path for the future, that mentality got us where we are now

I'm focused on the social and cultural resources right now, technological advancements are gonna make that more efficient anyways

Hi focused on the social and cultural resources right now, technological advancements are gonna make that more efficient anyways, I'm Dad!

That mentality of “oh the next generation will fix it and it’s not our problem” got us modern America

From a cultural, social, and economic standpoint, yes

However the environment is a different equation

But the environment is formed by those circumstances

Besides, if this is about lowering emissions, wouldn't burning a ton of rocket fuel be the worst thing for that?

How many resources are left depends on the economy

Oh God, Ann Coulter's trending again

I’m not talking about emissions I’m talking about natural resources

Hi not talking about emissions I’m talking about natural resources, I'm Dad!

haha

Some are renewable like wood, and others like oil and minerals are not

Oh my lord child actors

Ann what are you doing

That’s the definition f bad optics

Oof, that one’s going to hit hard

You could have gone any other route but child actors

Alright, so wouldn't putting money in R&D to develop engines that can run on renewable resources be much more effective than shooting a rocket to mine an asteroid?

You forget that say, Mars is a massive fucking planet with it’s own resources?

It’s own minerals

The issue is priorities

We have to look at our circumstances, our base.
