And when we use up the lithium on earth, then what?
It is not used up, it can be recycled.............
“And when we use up the lithium on earth, then what?”
No kidding, what super expensive new drug will people have to take instead ?
Fusion reactors the size of bricks.
Lot's of resources out there. They all belong to us. We just need to go get them.
If the US had stayed on the same path and pace it was on in the 1950s - 1970s, before it became introverted, feelings based, and real science died, can you imagine where we would be today?
There was a time where this nation was “full speed ahead” in science, and I'm not talking about BS vaccines (a cash cow for big pharma), global warming, or ozone hole nonsense (enviro scams). There was a time where the US wanted to explore the universe (Voyager), go into the depths of the ocean (Trieste), go faster and higher (X-15, space program) or know what the building blocks of life is (DNA - Double Helix discovery), we built nuclear power plants and had a Boeing 747 in 1970. By 1973 we built the Saturn V, the most complex mechanical machine ever built, and we did it with frigging slide rules! We were building ever taller buildings, longer tunnels, bigger dams...
Today, we don't even care anymore.
Today we have become all about feelings, and the means are more important than the ends.
Do you think there is a reason why we have not definitely won a war since WWII (other than Iraq in 1991 and micro military campaigns)?
Our weakness today is of the heart. We once were meat eaters. Now we're a bunch of vegan hippy homo's sitting around and talking about our feelings.
Do you think there is a reason why we were 35% of the global GDP in 1950, but ~20% today?
Do you think there is a reason why China uses more concrete than we do?
Why the tallest building is standing in Dubai?
Why US Astronauts use a Russian rocket to get to space?
Why China today has 1.5 times the patents in engineering we have?
Coming up with ever greater alliances, forums, summits and supra national institutions won't do it. That's what the Euro's did. As they decline and become ever less significant on the world stage, they think by banding together they can still have a say, some influence and weight. They don't. Look at Ukraine and how impotent they were. Israel is small but for it's small size, population, GDP, and resources extremely powerful. Why?
We in the US have a weakness that is growing inside us, like a cancer.
Well,read my tag line.😏
