    Where are the raw materials (including energy!) for this project coming from? Are the miners in the global south or the indigenous peoples pushed off their lands not harmed by the constantly increasing demand for materials academics present? Will these people see any benefit, in their or their childrens’ lifetimes? Do the bourgeois, the mining and metalworking companies and all their friends, not make massive amounts of money selling these materials? Are the carbon emissions and environmental destruction not worth preventing?

      The people will die mining the materials, the materials will be sold for pennies to the west, and the west will create next generation bombs to kill the miners’ children. And you will pay for it. I fucking love science!!
