Uh. You’re missing way more puzzle pieces than I thought. Little point in continuing this conversation.

I refuted your points. That’s what a debate is.

You claimed a lack of rare earth magnets would send technology back to milling grain and pumping water. But they weren’t invented until the 1970’s. The Tesla model S doesn’t even use them.

You claimed PV solar isn’t self sustainable but we already know it’s cost, which includes profit margins at every stage of manufacturing and transportation, is lower than the energy output over a panels lifetime. That means it is not only self sustainable but makes enough surplus energy for people to live off the jobs of manufacturing the PV panels.

No, you consistently fail to understand the whole mode of the argument. Rare earth magnets is a red herring which you brought up. Cost of PV is another such.

I gave up because what you said towards the conversation tail made me realize you’re missing too much on your end to be worth my time and are unwilling to investigate on your own. If you “refuted” something, be my guest. I wish it was that easy with reality.

The cost of PV is not a red herring in that the consumer cost is the culmination of all manufacturing efforts required to make PV including profits for everyone. Because of this you can’t claim there are hidden supply chain problems with PV panels without providing any evidence.

I already addressed your, “research it yourself” deflection.

This is faith for you.

Collapse

Create post

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort, high volume and low relevance posts.
