lolling at the new dialogue that really hammers in the same ecocide fervour we have here. There’s a bit in the Gold Saucer where Barret literally exclaims how we’re killing the planet by sucking the life force out for plastic tat and novelty experiences. Ctrl+F all instances of “mako” and replace with “fossil fuels” and we on track.

going to convert my home heating to be based on bitcoin mining. Going to set up a two step water heater, one as the main heat sink reservoir for the mining rig, and then a heat pump to pull the heat from that to a water heater actually connected to the plumbing. Maybe set up a floor heating system too. Not like anything can get worse might as well get wild with it

I did something similar back when crypto was a novelty and nobody had really grappled with the environmental costs. My apartment was shoddily insulated and I needed a space heater in the winter, so I figured "if I'm burning electricity to make heat resistively, why not get something back out of it?" So I'd leave my computer mining overnight. Then I did the math and realized I was technically making money, sure, but on the scale of a few cents a day, but that immediately disappeared when I thought about wear and tear on my computer.

my favorite in that same vein was libertarians getting roommates who they'd split the power bill 50/50 with before mining tons of crypto for cheaper than normal. when their roommate would ask what the gently caress is going on, they'd explain that everyone entered in that contract of their own free will and therefore it's not just a way to steal from them

kinda like how businesses try to make as many things as possible into externalities so other people get to pay for it, now that i think about it

The free market solution is just to build a bitcoin mining rig 10x the power of the roommates and make your money back that way.

fun fact, it was actually a soviet professor that outlined the planet, solar system and galactic scales of energy consumption that civilizations would attain 'based on the axiom of exponential growth'

destroying earth is just getting started

oh of course, i just mean capitalism would be satisfied with the earth. capitalism is destined to achieve cosmological hegemony as the only force known not be subject to the second law of thermodynamics. as we all know, economic growth, and therefore profit, is unbounded. the invisible hand of the free market weaves the very fabric of space-time.

all im saying is we should speed things up a bit and build the jupiter pipeline to fuel a megascale fusion torch and just blast this bitch until we drain the bringer of jollity down to its metallic hydrogen core. the sooner all chemistry ceases to occur here the better.
