@rose_alibi @inquiline it's a shame the one about slavery isn't showing up - I read it 4 times and it still broke my brain

@[email protected] How far back do you have to go, to find a time when many people would have agreed that slavery fell in the category of "family and community relationships", and was even among the most important? Technological innovation disrupted that, by separating the processing of chemical energy into mechanical work from the human body. I for one have no desire to go back. #atomicpowertothepeople

With generalizations like that, I wonder what the dude thinks of Fritz Haber, but not enough to ask.

@loriemerson @inquiline @rose_alibi ohhhh I know about dudes who only want to talk about nuclear power (or when we’ll get nuclear fusion — my dude, we have nuclear fusion, look up)
