      I feel like you weren’t really listening to what I had to say

      Tell me: when you read my post, what did you hear?

      How did that translate in your head?

        You asked:

        So, really, what’s the actual fucking problem here?

        That’s what they heard.

        They answered:

        No more medical imaging.
        No more fibre optics.
        No more semiconductors.
        No more laparoscopic or eye surgery.
        No more hard drives.
        No more titanium.
        No more rockets.

        That’s what you didn’t hear I guess.

          You guessed wrong

          What they didn’t hear is the problems of society that the blind pursuit of commercial mining of minerals causes society.

          But when commercial profit is your only motive, fuck people, right? Who gives a shit about them?

            While I agree that the blind pursuit of capital will ultimately be our downfall, but helium shortages actually have real, tangible effects on the very people you seem to vouch for.

            I feel you’re lashing out for the mere sake of lashing out, regardless of who your target is. We’re on the side here.

        I think your untreated trauma is negatively affecting how you treat the people around you.

          We all have untreated trauma.

          I think the carelessness with which corporations pursue commercial mining profits traumatically affects society.

          Blaming me, an individual, just for pointing that out, is pretty ridiculous.
