“Perpetual Motion Machines” Rhis! So no problem with the mathematical, economic or physical model? Ooooohhhh noooooo! He! He! They say we’re stupid…pleeeeeeeease! Don’t worry we’ll bail ourselves out with bitcoin (and it all came crashing down)!
…and you don’t understand my stuff?!
"Where’s the “Wonga”?
After years of investing in HADRON colliders and the like where is the return on our massive investment? The problem of fusion still remains and the populace should be constantly reminded that Lockheed Martin and others invest in CERN specifically in order to find a “something for nothing” origin for generating a continued fusion reaction (if the; “God Particle” was ever discovered and found capable of generating “free fusion” it would certainly be, “something for nothing” because as we know any finite investment would certainly be insignificant in relation to; “INFINITE POWER!” -and they say we’re mad!-), so the debate for and against such research really does hinge on the feasibility of sustaining these reactions. Gravity created our Sun and will continue to sustain it until all the energy in its captured mass has been used up, mankind is simply not able to create the necessary gravitational conditions for continued fusion. A hydrogen bomb is not a sun and a fusion reaction does not represent a sustainable energy source, it should come as no surprise to learn that no fusion reaction experiment has ever produced more energy than it took to create and contain it.
Just think of it Capt. James Tiberius Kirk and his crew are waiting for the day when mankind can abandon its flirtation with sustainability completely and give itself carte-blanche to travel through the universe exploiting any planet unfortunate enough to fall into its path, these truly empyreal dreams await us all if we would only abandon our strange attachment to reason and place ourselves totally in the hands of the technocratic revolutionaries who have served us so well so far**.* I feel many might be fearing that I am polarising debate but I am only accentuating the negative in order to bring the positive into sharp-relief, for we do have the the ability as a species to achieve the balance between artifice and nature that is now essential for our own survival, fundamentalists of all kinds all want quick, easy and painless solutions to their problems, nothing, however, was ever achieved without effort (as every good physicist knows).
*Nb. There have always been two schools of thought on this subject but I grew up with “Space Opera” and am as keen to split-the-infinitive as any other red bloodied Sci-Fi fan; however, the sheer elegance of Frank Herbert’s conception in his “Dune” books where, “space is moved through matter” (and not the other way around), by the mind of the navigator “folding” it, has greater philosophical appeal (it is surely no coincidence that one of the main themes running through Herbert’s work is ecology).

Re: #Socialism
“It is in order to continue to exploit resources of all kinds that the attempt has been made to convince the global electorate that a socially dominant economic model is the same as a communal one. It’s called “divide and rule”, which in this case means “freedom or slavery”, and is sold to the people as a simple choice between the reassuring gewgaws of the neo-liberal state or enslavement in a drab totalitarian one (anarchy being “Bellum omnium contra omnes”, the terrible “war of all against all”, is Khaos of-course).
Quote; ““Either/or democracy is the dalliance of the totalitarian”” Go to: "Arafel": #Yugoslavia, #NATO, #Brexit, the #EuropeanUnion and the #Euromerta (a response to the dreadful neo-lib/con whitewashing of the sepulchre by #PBS: "#TheBalkansinFlames")
Socialist systems rely on the institutions of the state (many of which being pre-existing), to run the economy, communist systems rely on communes to dictate to (and often form), state institutions. The notions are very different, for a socialist there is no “communal filter” between the individual and the insitutions of the state but for a communist the state doesn’t exist without one (the capitalist, of-course, their actions being anathema to community , doesn’t believe in society at all). This exemplifies the veracity of the maxim; “the trouble with “-isms” is that they are full of “-ists”!”
Schumacher and emergent economic theory allow for no dominant political ideology. So where is democracy? Well for one thing it ought to be clear by now that politics al.la the Industrial Revolution model is on its last legs, the G7 summit will be tackling the global problems of environmental damage, lack of biodiversity and sustainability issues that barely got a mention in the mainstream media (MSM), a hundred years ago. This macrocosm shines a light on the microcosm of our individual politics, whereby, we will become aware that democracy is process, it must always be thus for should we ever manifest “true democracy” we will have achieved totality" https://www.arafel.co.uk/2021/06/a-dangerous-conflation-socialism.html
