Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

not if it's all flushed into the ocean. i imagine recycling phosphorus from the ocean would be like recycling oil from carbon in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (maybe not ahah i'm talking "out my rear end" here)

There is serious work on using (presumably nuclear) electrity to turn water and CO2 into something very like crude oil or diesel. Carbon-neutral gasoline would be a HOLY poo poo AHAHAHA moment, because of course we have all this infrastructure that it would Just Work in. Of course the current problem is it costs at least twice what it does to get it out of the ground, and it's a lab curiosity rather than a well-engineered industrial reality (with decades between one and the other). But this is in fact a thing.

let's solve global warming by using an unspecified energy source to electrolyze water to make hydrogen to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide so it can be fischer-tropsched into diesel fuel that explodes and a tiny part of that explosion is converted into rotation that spins an alternator that charges our phones. this might be more bitcoin than bitcoin.

Are any well known bitcoiners buttcoiners?

pretty much. american policing is based on finding someone who you can get charges to stick to in the least amount of time. if they gave a fakeconfession because they had been stuck in the same room for hours and hours of relentless questioning then oh well that's their fault for not knowing the magic words to invoke to make it stop.
