3:24 So... eastern europe, about in 1996 - a nice summer morning, suddenly you wake with a pulse of fear.. "WOW! I was so close to oversleeping..." its 5 AM and this time you're going with grandpa and grandma to the corn fields to "whack the weeds" as you might say, and maintain the field. It's a backbreaking manual labor!(well at least for them it was...) We get to the field early and prep for a light breakfast, granny woke up early to prepare it all. As I'm gorging on my granny's milinki with a side of apricot nectar(both homemade...) I notice other people around us enjoying breakfast as well. Then every group(bout 20 or 30 depending on the day, basically almost the whole village) gradually begins to work their land. We call this land "bostan" and every village had one. Every couple of years they move it in order to keep the soil more rich and not deplete the nutrients with continuous strain through growing the same culture there(they rotated mixed bostans with single culture ones). I was a kid back then, no more than 10 years old, but believe me when i tell you.. best.. damn.. time!!!

I don’t need to watch this video to know "why" if that's true. They want to mine them, and they don't want the public to know for two reasons: 1. The public would instantly object because it's stupidly dangerous, but they think the public just won't realize how "safe" such a project would be in their ever "capable and competent" hands. And 2. They don’t want to share any of those resources. THEY have the means to go get wealth for _themselves,_ as usual, and if we knew about it, we would expect some kind of venefit from it. They just plan to mine for precious metals, not for any humanitarian purpose, but to use them to further widen the wealth gap.

Kind of. Magma, what lava is called before it reaches the surface, is molten rock with dissolved metals and minerals in it. The trouble is that even when molten or dissolved, heavier elements still "settle" out. so while the magma is rising, it deposits the heavier minerals and elements and the erupting lava is mostly just silicates. This is why we have to dig for the metals and where we dig is usually the location of ancient volcanic action.

Well, I know someone who have been into asteroid mining. It was not easy, but he (with the team) they did land (remote controlled robotics) and mine a bit.

That smug metal bastard! 🤣 Thank you. I not only learned about asteroids. I also learned. Hot coffee cleans the sinuses. And, make tears run down your legs. Who knew?
