Wasn’t Down Periscope the best? They didn’t offer that major in college so I couldn’t be a submarine captain on an old WW2 diesel sub that’s manned by a rag tag motley crew of misfits and a sexy first mate who’s clothes are too small for her. Because I could have also minored in hosting Village People concerts. Even though that didn’t work out, at least I wasn’t stuck with a communications degree.

That’s just different definitions of clickbait. Stupid and I doubt there’s any rhyme or reason as to why one is worth $200 and another $800.

Well I’m still coming back for those styrofoam cups…

Yeah and if we needed to bring farmers back you can be sure a Bloomberg type would be involved and he knows how to farm, “you put seed in some dirt, give a little a water and there you go. I like people with a little more grey matter.” That would go very well and I’m sure there would be no famine like the dozens of other times people who knew nothing about farming tried to control it.

Pessimism and optimism are emotions, not a philosophy. And when I look at what is being proposed here and based off of my life experience and how these types of operations have gone before, I am pessimistic. My first question is, what do you think the goal is here in relation to climate change?

And now to the substance. What some animals are able to do by converting grass and vegetation into vitamin rich meat is nothing short of amazing. What some humans do by taking part in a relationship that predates our species is nothing short of spiritual. This is fake. It’s not “milk” or “meat” or whatever you are trying to pretend it is. It’s something else trying to mimic those things. And that is devastating to the human spirit, as are mass production farms and feed lots. But you can’t help the human spirit by killing it in another way. So all of this farmland gets converted into nature, then what, a pass is needed to access it? All this farmland is taken away with “sticks”, then what? Families that have farmed for generations are told to just find something else to do under threat of fines. That’s not compassionate at all and sets the foundation for this project on a sinkhole. The claim is this is to help humanity and we have to do that by really screwing over some humans. Lies are the nails that build a house of failure.

Like I said pessimism is an emotion, and it’s disingenuous to ignore pessimistic emotions about the future and not address some of the problems related to this technology.

I don’t know if it could be as big as TikTok. But it could definitely be engineered to interface with it natively. Like Uber.

Stop using this “scalable” buzzword. You just asked the same question twice. Can we create an innovation platform that allows for scalability in a way that optimizes for any transitions after IPO?

Thank you for pointing that out. Many people see no downside to solar but if a solar farm is being built, then step 1 is to build a massive parking lot. Anywhere you wouldn’t want a parking lot, you wouldn’t want a solar farm. There’s plenty of rooftops that can have solar panels on them before we start building massive lots all over the place.
