ina ll fairness tho

theyre just trying to prove theories

Ohhh I remembered my nana had illegal stand up tapes with comedians making fun of the system

theyre not tryingto build something useful

Those were fun

Like fusion reactors exist so I presume the logic is they scale

the problem with them has always been the density

afaik

and density by definition doesnt scale

I’m no expert but I suppose we will find out

yes we will

im sure they know what theyre doing

When it comes to hitting walls, fusion has been a very obnoxious one to get over

but i think theyre overestimating its capabilities

I just think dismissing stuff is a bit silly

its not dismissal

its skepticism

Its worth talking about at least

Humanity evolves from conflict

Totally worth trying all the options sure

We're either overestimating the capability of fusion, or misinterpreting how the Sun works

Seeing a net energy gain from fusion is a good step forward

I just <:Doubt:588038713938804760>

If we want dem fusion generators to come quicker we best start ww3

the son doesnt have to worry about a kickstart of energy

is the point

a fusion reactor by definition requires a huuuuuge kickstart

It might be 100 years before fusion is really cheap enough

Fuck it lets accelerate more and go straight to ww4

which is its main problem

Nothing like defense spending to boost technological progression

Remember war is a moral good

fusion rectors are pointless in war

if they needed energy they could just build fission

Probably won't get a second Mengele to cure cancer, though

but neither is really useful for wartime power generation

Conflict and war is a natural state of humanity

they take too long to build

and wars are short

So is peace
