Calling out any hypocracy is far from pointless, not that you will change the idiot, but you will affect the other people observing it

I think you left out a major one, we need to accept death as a part of life. People are getting older and older rapidly, and if diseases like cancer become chronical instead of life-ending, we will be in for a ride. Not even China will dare touching that subject

Isn't that the key selling point of crypto? You have a centralized asset (your wallet) that gets decentralized over many many other people

How does this get modded Insightful lol, LHC was literally just upgraded over the last few years

People alt-right when they're terrified of the rise of revolutionary Marxism/Communism in the US,

Wait what?

You don't even know how Smartmatics machines work do you?

You got downvoted for being right, well done Slashdot of the 2020's!

" when antimatter and matter collide, pure energy is released during the annihilation, and that upsets conservation of energy."

This is absolutely not true, energy is conserved in these collisions. There are no challenges for the conservation law in the Standard Model. Look at dark energy, that is a concept where energy gets 'created' (negative pressure)

Antique Geekmeister said it right

Well 'nothing', there's been all kinds of economical sanctions for years over this. What else would you want to do, a full scale conventional war with nuclear powers?

Lol, maybe thats how it works in your country but tbh, in the Netherlands, usually the more senior and succesful members of parliament end up being promoted to the European Parliament. What you are stating is far from factful

The things you describe sound very familiar, though I do not get these with LSD but by simple exercise of thought, some good parties, music, being in nature. The brain enters a stage of flow, yada yada. For everyone the way to reach this state of mind is different, harder for some then for others. Meditation, drugs, having a great partner, a good conversation or even just a good night of sleep, many roads are leading to Rome. Personally I cherish my ability to fairly easily achieve such a state enough to want to risk my delicate chemical balance with drugs, although easily available here.

Consciousness seems to be an emergent feature of matter, similar to temperature and actually time itself. It explains why you are more prone to simple diseases when feeling unhappy, your consciousness just being a representation of the state of your brain. A few simple rules in a larger environment seem to commonly lead to emergent features. Quantitzation of energy packets leads to the Sun being able to exist for 9 billion years, it leads to rainbows and the rates of radioactivity as they are. Consciousness seems to be just one more of these emergent features that in itself are nothign special. Quite frankly if you dive far enough into elementary physics with an open mind I don't think you would make the same statement ever again. The Universe is fascinating and its fundamentals also really, really weird.

This is laboratory stage, the hunt for better efficiency is still very useful. Other teams / companies work on industrialization of the newly found processes from a laboratory to create these things for a reasonable price. This is how science has worked for over 100 years now

For a lot of applications of solar space is an very relevant factor
