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
Iām talking about Earth and Americaās resources. Donāt get me wrong America is filled with resources, but it will run out eventually
Hi talking about Earth and Americaās resources. Donāt 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 āoh the next generation will fix it and itās not our problemā 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?
Oh God, Ann Coulter's trending again
Iām not talking about emissions Iām talking about natural resources
Hi not talking about emissions Iām talking about natural resources, I'm Dad!
lol
haha
Some are renewable like wood, and others like oil and minerals are not
Oh my lord child actors
Ann what are you doing
Thatās the definition f bad optics
Oof, that oneās 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 itās own resources?
Itās own minerals
The issue is priorities
We have to look at our circumstances, our base.
Our base is coal miners working in the rust belt and the appalachians
Iām not saying that whatās happening right now isnāt the highest priority, Iām saying that we should at least start working on the future
