Solar is a big deal, we want to be able to use the Sun to power our world. The difference between a Type 1 and Type 2 civilization.

I actually really encourage solar power but that's going to require a large mining investment. Let alone we're also going to require all these rare Earth minerals to build the technology we require.

Within 20 years we could be mining the Taurid Meteor Cluster every June and November when we pass through. Its the most active meteor shower every year, and every dash of light you see shoot could be some of those minerals literally almost within arms reach, and not from the earth.

Yeah literally those things can crash through our solar system and give us the equivalent of a thermonuclear yield.

The younger dryas theory proposes exactly that.

Everything from Kansas to North and South Carolina was hit with multiple fragments.

I have been on a Graham Hancock bender this week funny enough lol I literally didn't sleep for almost 2 day cycles because the truth about the great flood rocked me to the core, now I can finally start debating religious fundamentalists and win.

This is actually family history for me and affects me deeply because I'm only 200 years away from the Stone age.
And I'm actually listening to America before right now as I woke up a little early and it's super cold out. I think I will listen to it for a little while longer and then take a nap.

Would be cool to hear the oldest stories you know of from your family. Post that in the DeepDives group maybe if you do, seems like a good dive.
