Nationalist Posted January 22 Author Report Posted January 22 12 minutes ago, Moonbox said: All I'm pointing out is that the video you posted was useless AI-slop, and that we're not sitting on mineable deposits as you proposed. It would be great if it were true, but it isn't. Pretending that I'm "against" a resource that sells for $20M a kg or that I think it's useless is about as ridiculous as saying I'm "against" curing cancer because I don't believe eating moose meat gets rid of tumors. Its altered or synthetic. And so what? You say it's impossible to mine or extract. That's apparently not true. Just what is it about the content of the vid and why would you deny any mining potential when it's evidently doable? What is your issue? That the video was altered or enhanced? 1 Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Considering I've listed multiple times the various ways it already is extracted, this is a pretty goofy thing to say. Let me re-iterate: We don't have any he-3 "deposits" that can be mined on earth as you and your OP proposed. What little extracting and refining we can do terrestrially amounts to tens of kilograms a year. That's why the US government and NASA etc are funding research to harvest it from the moon - because we don't have enough here. If you want to actually engage with above paragraph and stop pretending that I'm saying things I'm not, let's do that, but right now it appears that you're just playing dumb. 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he is for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

They clearly do not. No, I did not say that. I said that you cite anonymous Facebook and social media posts. You can see the difference, right? Even so, it doesn't really make that much of a difference. When you put forward anonymous posts as compelling sources and expect reasonable people to put credence in them, you're filtering yourself out of reasonable discussions. There needs to be a floor when it comes to standards of information and facts, and if someone's floor is pretty much the most useless and least reliable type of internet content, folks aren't going to give you any of their limited time or bandwidth even if you're later providing good or useful information. I'm not trying to troll you. It would just be nice if we didn't have to debate zero-effort and AI generated click-bait on this forum. 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he is for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

When I post an Op-Ed, I identify it as an Op-Ed, someone's opinion. I've been here longer than you. I know how it works. 28 minutes ago, Moonbox said: There needs to be a floor when it comes to standards of information and facts, Thanks, Captain Obvious. I think most people here have already figured out for themselves that anecdotal evidence carries less weight than official sources. 28 minutes ago, Moonbox said: folks aren't going to give you any of their limited time or bandwidth even if you're later providing good or useful information. Speak for yourself. Conversations, discussions progress. Let them. Without immediately jumping in and lecturing everyone, as you usually do. You rarely add anything to most discussions, other than lecturing others. 28 minutes ago, Moonbox said: I said that you cite anonymous Facebook and social media posts. Ya. Like everyone else here, from time to time. I don't automatically discount anecdotal evidence or personal experiences. Even courts do not do that. Before you attack me again, I AM NOT SAYING ANECDOTAL/PERSONAL EVIDENCE OVERRIDES EVERYTHING ELSE. I'm saying it has its' place. Example: An employee's personal experience with discrimination often doesn't go far, and can be easily discredited, until others start speaking up with the same experiences. We saw this many times during covid. Incidents of myocarditis were denied, personal experiences of millions of people were discredited, scientists who identified the very plausible mechanisms for how it happens were censored. Social media groups that formed organically by those affected, sometimes numbering into the hundreds of thousands of members, were de-platformed. Until it became such a big issue that it could no longer be ignored. After a year and half of denying it ever was happening - now it's added as a black box warning on the product. My issue with you is that you readily accept anecdotal and personal evidence from posters you agree with (at the least you ignore when they do, but often you "Like" and "Thank You"), and when it agrees with your own preferred narratives. And you viciously attack, when it comes to posters you hate. And then follow them around the board, repeatedly accusing them of ONLY ever posting social media info. You're a hypocrite. So don't act now like you're the voice of reason. You're "best buds" with the 12-year-old on here, who is one of the most useless, intellectually bankrupt posters I've ever encountered on a forum before. You follow him around like a chihuahua, applauding everything he does.

A best-case scenario for he-3 extraction from this site would produce maybe 1kg of he-3 per year. Since a fusion power station would require tons of the material every year to keep going, the Topaz gas field would produce enough to run a plant for no more than a few hours annually. When you can comment on that mathematical reality, let me know, but going around in circles with you on this is getting boring. 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he is for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

I've been on this forum for 15+ years and I can confidently state I've never cited anonymous social media as "evidence", nor applauded anyone else who has (despite your powers of fantasy claiming otherwise). The fact that you're even trying to argue that "sources" like this can accepted as proof underlines how ridiculous you're being. Once this standard is accepted, there's no limiting principle —any position can be simultaneously proven or disproven with AI-generated or low-effort junk-posting from sock puppet accounts.
