I think one of the most underappreciated and overlooked accomplishments of the times we are living in, is our ability to mine for raw earth minerals and boring technology. I see it like this. Humanity, because we no longer have apex predators, get bored, and eat each other. The people at the bottom never rise up and the people at the top are never satiated chasing exponential goals. We are no longer, or ever, self-aware as it is a exponential loop of madness. A baby diaper of shitty nonsense. In relation to the issue of global warming, some people, foolishly hopeful, think that batteries are somehow going to save us. They will not. If you look at the electrical grid from afar, and you think to yourself, well, just like any electrical system, there are little areas of the circuit board that store power in order to smooth out the signal. You don't want disruptions, you could damage the equipment, and possibly ruin the whole board. In regards to data centers, what “they” do is, “they” do what “they” want, and “they” ask for forgiveness later. Now that “we” have it, I guess “we” need to compliment it and build another... power station yada yada yada. Basically, our world is becoming a factory, we are losing space in our department and we live inbetween of those mechanisms. It is a feedback loop that justifies itself, ratcheting forward, as we get dumber and dumber and the world gets hotter and hotter. No one is at the wheel for two reasons, one politicians shake that ass and make that money, two they ain’t no fuckin wheel. For what purpose and for whom?
