Sometimes I feel like this

@joshiswhoiam23 @Rothmus Exactly Aluminum used to be a precious metal before the technology to refine it made it cheap and practical We mass produce aluminum airliners now getting around the world takes hours not weeks Mass producing aluminum cans was revolutionary cost reducer making life richer

People seem to think of this wrong. If we mined a asteroid like this gold would be worth less. Gold isn't valuable just because it's rare. It's useful. Imagine if gold was as cheap as copper. I'm sure we could find a use for it. Think of the value of iron. Now think of all the value of whatever it can be made into.

Yes.

@gratuitoushygie @Rothmus Think of the new technologies that would be discovered if gold was cheap like aluminum is today Aluminum used to be a rare precious metal Today we mass produce aluminum jet airliners and beer cans Humans are vastly richer with cheap aluminum

@Rothmus There is nothing wrong with the original tweet - It makes no statement on what a billion dollars would worth. Take a goddamn critical thinking class.

@LastofLazarus @Rothmus We mass produce jet airliners and beer cans from aluminum Modern civilization is built of aluminum Computers in our pockets with information kings couldn’t find in the 1880s They figured out how to smelt aluminum and we’re all richer by any measure Think on it

@Rothmus "Aluminium is worth more than gold so if we mass produce aluminium everyone will be rich" -some French guy in the 1800s Fast-forward to today and aluminium is so cheap we use it as disposable packaging.

@gurusamuel1 @Rothmus Imagine the technologies we might create that would never happen with scarcity A new gold rush would increase overall wealth the way aluminum smelting technology did in the 1800s Aluminum used to be rare and precious Now we mass produce jet airliners and beer cans of aluminum

@Rothmus Actually it's enough gold to make manufacturing processes across the world so cheap that electronics and technology would bottom out in cost. Do you know how efficient gold is when used in electronics, wiring, as a semiconductor, in processors, and in manufacturing in general?

@Rothmus If gold suddenly became super cheap and common might it drive new technologies and make society richer as learning to smelt aluminum did?

@AMAZlNGNATURE Not all humans

Human would probably have crushed the bug

@Rothmus That much gold would drive innovative technologies we haven’t seriously considered because scarcity Years ago aluminum was more precious than gold as the tech to refine aluminum didn’t exist yet From totally impractical to the framework of civilization Keep open mind 🫶

@truthstreamnews @MatrixMysteries Purely disgusting That cheap pile of glyphosate sugar is nothing but suffering and broken hearts How much oil did it take to fill that dumpster with toxic garbage? We have lost our way

@MatrixMysteries We live in a dying society.

An American showed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts at night. Straight into the trash. After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22. And instead of selling them cheaper… They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.

俺の知らない車あった

@R35maso Ferrari BB 512?

ちなみにもう1台名前が分からないやついた

@R35maso When I was a kid my dad searched for years till he found one he could afford I drove it once The front end and steering became very light at 200kph+ This stock image shows how beautiful the original car was Good times

@AMAZlNGNATURE I’m glad I live in a world where elephants exist

His greed sickens me

@xenocosmography @avicennaquinas It’s weird how people focus on the few exceptions to a rule as if that negates the larger truth

@avicennaquinas Not deliberately lying gets you a surprisingly long way.

Tell the truth. Whatever cunning alternative heuristic you have is worse.

@xenocosmography Truth is usually the better alternative

Truth is usually the better alternative

@Andrew94315 @xenocosmography There are exceptions to every rule Doesn’t change the basic truth of truth

@xenocosmography There are some very easy to produce (and realistic) scenarios where telling the truth would be evil. We could say that most of us don't prioritise it enough and that conversation is actually interesting

@leonkhtam lol 😂

From can't cut sh_t to can cut sheets

@DrClownPhD lol

Chuck Norris is the main character in every movie.

It’s awful to watch someone destroy themselves with food or whatever If you tried to help them for years and years it tears you down watching them sick and suffering People have a bad childhood and never recover Like sucks sometimes

@Rothmus There are endless used Tesla model 3 for $20k or less everyday at Tesla.com choose pre-owned inventory EV are very doable
