@kiankerman Someone needs to study the effect of unmarried, childless individuals vs. people with families with regard to placement of empathy.
I have a feeling that the lack of family love translates to the "empathy" we see.
Substitution.
@JacquesJdeVil@willempet PASA 27 billion barrels of oil and 60 trillion cubic feet of gas offshore.
On the west coast (same side Namibia is drilling), there is plenty in the corridor on South Africa borders (Block 3B/4B).
We can. We don't.
@adam_dorr@triggerpod Also, up to 95% to 99% of a solar panel’s physical mass is recyclable. However, globally, less than 10% are actually recycled.
It's dumped!
While 95% to 100% of a lithium-ion battery'scan be recycled, the actual amount recycled globally sits around 50% to 60%.
It's not green.
@adam_dorr@triggerpod Nuclear lasts 60-80 years. Current engineering can push that to almost 100.
For 10GW, solar would use 392 square miles of land whereas nuclear would use 13 square miles.
Yes, solar is great, but the impact on the environment is order of magnitude more than nuclear!
@Askash Keeping an eye on this. If they really can pull off a 170MW datacentre in SA (to be one of "The Four") then this could actually bode well for us!
@FaraiMazhindu 100% spot on!
The only difference between rich and poor is the former produces more than they consume and the latter consumes more than they produce.
In socialism however, production is demonised to ensure consumption is "equalised".
We have a mentality, not economic problem.
@Jonathan_Hinder@KonstantinKisin@CenTaxUK Single earner at £80k nets £56,961.
Two earners at £40k net £64,642.
That is a £7,681 tax penalty!
The state forces both parents to work just to break even. Massive socio-economic impact!
Until you fix this family tax trap, wealth inequality stays and grows.

@moses_144@ginnydmm Not correct.
The clear majority were not racist, as per the 1992 vote (only whites could vote, remember?) 68.73% voted to end apartheid.
THAT was the majority.
White South Africans voted overwhelmingly as a majority to end the minority rule!
Facts matter.
“save our children and we will save the West“
At ARC 2026, @Miss_Snuffy argued that the crisis facing the West is a crisis of moral formation, and that schools, families, and communities must once again take seriously the task of raising the next generation.
@elonmusk@SpaceX The structure would be citizen-owned, time-limited (25 years), with proper safeguards and reversion to the Namibian people.
Sounds crazy until you realise the bottleneck to Mars is launch rate, not technology.
Hi @elonmusk
Instead of fighting regulators for launch slots, what if you just bought the regulatory environment?
Namibia holds a referendum, you wipe their debt, they give @SpaceX long-term control over a desert launch territory.
~$30B.
High cadence solved.
@MoketleMokoene@FaraiMazhindu Democracy is a word thrown around like it is some kind of magic. It is not. It is a gateway drug to socialism. 1 person 1 vote = equal outcome NOT equal oppertunity. It's socialist in nature.
"We're young" is an excuse. We're not. We're older than America!
@MoketleMokoene@FaraiMazhindu Sure. We could look at it that way. Another way of looking at it is: would Elon be able to do even 12.8% (32 of 250) of what he did, if he stayed in SA?
We don't reward pioneers. We (and the UK and the EU) actively despise them. The US rewards them.
THAT is the difference.
@ErnstRoets@LexLibertasOnX Stats SA, GCRA, SACAA, SANSA, SASSA, SARS, SITA, ANC1912, all hacked and data leaked. (Some alleged, others verified).
Until https://t.co/hrRpZNr1GX can 100% guarantee that my ID will not be leaked, the only correct answer is:
NO.
@JoeRoganRecaps@drawandstrike And if that's not enough... remember: We have never actually measured the speed of light. Ever. (One way).
So one has to ask the question: What's all the math for, if the underlying "t" and "c" cannot be measured? Is "E" even real?
Apologies for the extra headache!
@JoeRoganRecaps@drawandstrike While you have a headache, consider this: E=mc2. 'c' is measured over time. If time cannot be measured, then neither can speed (it requires time), so therefore, 'c' cannot be measured and could in fact, be variable.
i.e. The "constant" (speed of light) becomes non-constant.
@BrettTheUndying@joe_walker@PhilosophyOfPhy We can discuss why suffering exists, but recognise that a Creator's motives have no bearing on whether or not the Creator actually exists.
@BrettTheUndying@joe_walker@PhilosophyOfPhy We were discussing whether science disproves the existence of a Creator. Now you ask about the character of that Creator. Those are two different debates. If you are arguing that God is unfair or cruel, you are implicitly agreeing to the premise that a God exists to be mad at.
