No one will "convince" you because reason didn't get you to where you are. If you think paying your share for a functioning society is robbery, you're not serious, you're a 12 year old edgelord or Elon Musk. "DIsagree with freedom and liberty". Go rub one out to some Ayn Rand, kid.

Two options here: you hate society and don't want to be a part of it. Fine. Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way to Somalia or wherever. Other option: you like all the modern services and conveniences society provides, but somehow someone other than you should pay for them. So, unabomber or asshole. Pick your ad hominem.

Paying your share of taxes isn't robbery, you marginally useful idiot. You probably consider yourself a "self made man", thoroughly ignorant of the infrastructure you used to succeed, assuming you did succeed. The bridges, roads, internet, power grid, water and sewer systems, public schools and universities, hospitals, etc., that you and/or your employees/employers relied on to make your job possible just sprouted from thin air, so you don't have to consider them. Likewise for national security, police, fire, etc. But the damn gubmint keeps "robbing" you for taxes for nothing.

"2) Space compute - the operation of non-Earth based data centeres providing at least 100 terawatts of annual compute capacity "

That can't possibly be right, can it? From https://ourworldindata.org/ene... the Earth uses about 200,000 TWh per year. With 8760 hours per year, that means average power consumed is around 22-23 TW.

40% efficient cells means about 540 W/m^2 (hell, call it 1000) meaning 100 billion m^2 of cells, or a square 316 km on a side, or a bit more than 1 Indiana of solar cells. This makes colonizing Mars look like the safety goal.

is to blunt criticism from groups starting to object to paying infrastructure costs for giant AI data centers. Now, instead of saying we have to raise your rates to pay for the GooglePlex we're building on the edge of town, it will that we have to raise rates to pay for all the single family homes going in up at Google Acres.
