Masterworks sold only 15 out of their several hundred because those were the only ones awarding double digit returns. Masterworks is growing because of its advertising, which pins itself for years entirely on the sales of those 15 sales. For comparison, buying an ETF for 15 of the world's biggest indices would not only allow the investor to capitilze during boom cycles around the world but also diversify in the totality of all human productive enterprise in every sector. Art is not an investment, it's a tax shelter. Masterworks is preys on the public's ignorance, impatience, and gullibility.

Not everyone who entered the capital building broke laws that day.

Sure, that phrase, "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell," has become a bit of an internet meme and a representation of the educational system.

One major issue that wasn’t mentioned was rare earth minerals. At the moment China dominates the production of these and the rest of the world is scrambling to find other sources. Due to the energy transition these minerals will become more important than oil in terms of geopolitics

[@da206hbe]

BS. Sweden and Norway has a lot of rare earth minerals. But our environmental laws hinders big exploitation of them at the moment. It will be exciting to see what the future brings!

[@snuscaboose1942]

Australia is also ramping up rare earth mineral production. The problem is not availability, they're just expensive to extract safely. China took over the rare earth market using it's status as a developing nation to subsidize rare earth mineral production without safety or environmental concerns, under cutting the world market. Once all the competition was forced out due to Chinese prices, the Chinese upped the price of rare earth minerals and now withhold access. The Chinese banked on the high costs of market entry to maintain their monopoly.

[@recoil53]

Actually there is no worry about finding other sources. The worry is about the processing. Rare earths aren't actually that rare. But the processing to get relatively pure volumes of it is relatively dirty. Of course they found a lot of lithium in the Salton Sea. They figure there is enough for 40% of world demand from those aquifers alone. Extracting from water should be relatively clean too.

China's position of "dominance" no longer exists. Nations like the USA already knows how to do this, all rare earths were extracted domestically 30 years ago.

Good example of the problem of ever increasing knowledge generation without prior knowledge acquisition.

[@EnkiduShamesh]

Nuclear weapons are expensive to maintain. They are delicate devices, and the reaction mass will deform over time due to radioactive decay. If a terrorist group does not have the resources and expertise to maintain a nuke (roughly 1mil USD a year), they will either need to use it quickly, limiting it's utility, or they will have to dismantle it and use the reaction mass to make a dirty bomb. Terrorists getting hold of a nuke and setting it off somewhere isn't impossible, but it is highly unlikely, and if they do it is likely to be in the same region in which they acquired it. They might take control of a missile silo and launch it immediately, but they won't be able to keep possessive of it. More concerning might be terrorists getting the nukes and quickly trading them to rogue states that do have the resources to maintain them - but in this scenario, these states are almost certainly going to use them for deterrence.

[@ezrapster]

Wanted to clear up a misconception in this video regarding the United States. We are not now, have never been, and will never be a democracy. Our president is elected by the states with each state having 2 votes based on the number of senators per state and the rest being based on population at a rate of 1 per roughly 700,000 citizens with a minimum of 1. It is up to the each state's legislature to determine how that state wants to award those votes. Currently, most states go for a democratic election. That is not how it originally operated. Originally, the states elected their senators ( who represent the state, not the population) and the senators chose the president. That being said, Jan 6th 2021 was not an insurrection. It was a political protest turned riot. Similar to, but less destructive and violent than the 2020 antifa/blm protests/riots. The ultimate goal not being to overthrow the government, but rather to get the government to do it's job as laid out in the constitution. As a side note, the 2020 election was decided by a total of 45,000 votes over 3 states. It was well within the candidate's rights to question the results when they are that close. One final note on the 2020 election: any voting laws that were changed due to the pandemic that were NOT changed by the states legislation were null and void and thus any votes cast under those laws also null and void. Thus raising questions of the validity of the 45,000 votes that made up the difference.

China attacking taiwan supposes not only chinese will, but also ability. If China waits a few decades it will face unprecedented demographic issues, thanks to ageing population. To put it blunlty if you dont have enough working age people to support dependent population, you can ill afford to waste resources on a war waged to gain prsestige.

Nah, very little chance we'll have permanent populations off-world this century. But if Earth does well economically, we may well have crewed science bases off-world. With crews that cycle personnel to keep them functioning year round. :) It would take 30-50 years of experimental base building and development to just understand what is needed to keep a permanent off-world population alive in a given location.

because that's how Google maps are drawn. I would like to add to everything that people live there, people have chosen to live with Russia. And after 2014, 98-99% of people do not want to live in Ukraine, according to the parable that they were deprived of pensions, water, electricity in one day. After such actions, the Russians delivered water by sea, brought a huge pile of generators, after which people charged their phones on the streets. Not to mention the banal things like turning on the lights, and people remembered the evenings with candles. It was after such actions that the Russians built a bridge 19 km long . If we talk about the new two regions (not counting Donetsk and Lugansk). Then this is Russia, because the vote was held, the infrastructure is being restored (which has not been built since 1990), new schools, houses, hospitals are being opened. In a couple of years, people will remember Ukraine as a nightmare.

People can do it, they have the technology, so unless they'll start drilling it to the center so that we(humanity, we 2 probably won't live that long 😞 ) know for sure its structure, i personally see no point in it. Drilling Moon should be a lot simpler and faster than Earth(there were 2 attempts both stopped) and if the most promising theories on planets structure is real we won't have to drill to the very center.
