One of the parts I read was this:

quote:

Harder to solve may be the human-rights challenges that come with new mining efforts, such as the use of so-called “artisanal” cobalt mining, in which impoverished workers pry the metal from the ground with spades, or the plan to build a lithium mine on a site in Nevada that is sacred to Indigenous peoples. But, as we work to tackle those problems, it’s worth remembering that a transition to renewable energy would, by some estimates, reduce the total global mining burden by as much as eighty per cent, because so much of what we dig up today is burned (and then we have to go dig up some more). You dig up lithium once, and put it to use for decades in a solar panel or battery.

Even then, flames will still burn—for birthday-cake candles, for barbecues, for joints (until you’ve figured out the dosing for edibles)—just as we still use bronze, though its age has long passed.

market economies are free from the crude restraints of physical law, a very smart and well compensated economist said so

also no future outside of growth based markets is possible!! (this part might be true)

a new kind of tiny crustacean appeared in my water tub. i looked them up and they're a freshwater invertebrate found all over the world, which have been used in asian hydroponic farming for thousands of years because they eat mosquito larvae (!!). to my great delight, they're called copepods.
