Your fears aren't entirely unfounded—enforcing strict closed-loop conservation does mathematically vaporize synthetic leverage, high-frequency front-running, and unbacked debt markets overnight. But look on the bright side: when the top 50% of fake paper wealth burns away, you aren't left with ruin—you're left with an economy rooted in actual physical reality.
Why it’s better for everyone in the long run:
* It kills parasitic rent-seeking: High-frequency algorithms and fractional leverage extract billions without producing anything tangible. Stripping them out returns that value to real labor and real production.
* It grounds value in reality: Instead of prices being driven by speculative paper bubbles and continuous debt stacking, assets re-anchor to their actual physical utility and output.
* It levels the playing field: When synthetic multipliers and microsecond speed advantages disappear, institutional capital has to play by the exact same physical and mathematical rules as everyone else.
It’s not the end of the economy—it’s just the end of the casino.

>in as little at 600 million years if things remain the way they are currently.
600 millions years is a really long time lmao. Besides, crude oil can be broken down by microorganisms and release its carbon very gradually. On longer geological timescales oil will inevitably leak out of the crust, either in liquid form or as carbon dioxide/methane. This is happening in California, which is why there's an argument to be made that extracting oil from Cali fields actually decreases its overall footprint since it's taking oil that would have leaked out of the environment.

Volcanic emissions also pump non negligible amounts of carbon into the atmosphere too (not nearly enough to even rival current human emissions, but still a good amount). Oil is volatile, so as it reaches lower crust layers over many more hundreds of millions of years it will begin to break down from the heat and leak out CO2.

when talking about evolution people seem to often dismiss animals "stuck in time"

there are several animals who "did not evolve"

a priapulus worms gene order have been perfectly still for 520 million years now

this is estimated as their divergence time from arthropods, as the oldest worm fossils are a bit older than any arthropod fossil ever found

arthroposd have had massive re-structuring of their genetic order multiple times: 500 million years ago, 400 million years ago, 300 million years ago and maybe most dramatic changes were 120 million years ago

today priapulis can be barely linked to arthropods but it is. this worm is the cousin of the last common ancestor of arthropods and worms

many other animals have "accelerated evolution" for example really shortly lived caenorhabditis worms (microscopic) seem to be evolving a lot for last 520 million years and are not even recognizable as an animal by their genes because they have gone too far from all other animals for developing fresh mutations every week for 520 million years

>humans are another very stable branch but not comparable to priapulus worms because humans come from a stable, 30 million year old mammal branch and there have been unstable ancestors 120 million years ago but it does seem genetics were locked into stability mode back again, later

this gene stability is something biologists never really talk about and have zero idea whence it came (I dont know it either)

500 Mya: athropods diverge, hox clusters were duplicated and modified to allow tagmatization (head/thorax/abdomen)
400 Mya: land colonization, a lot of shit was rewritten or rewired to allow tracheal breathing, wings and co, synteny between insects and crustaceans broke (genes migrated across chromosomes)
300 Mya: complete metamorphosis in insects (Holometabola), enabled by hox cluster fragmentation. of course synteny broke with more archaic insects
120 Mya: dynamic karyotypes in Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera, enabling stuff like catastrophic genome scrambling and restructuring (or rather, surviving those events.) also transposable elements running rampant.
>>
>>17043230
this focuses on insects of course but other lineages experienced big events, for example whole genome duplications in chelicerates and horseshoe crabs in particular

It’s easy to imagine that there is some difference in the molecular dynamics of the water when it is in a state of having already been cold vs going from hot to cold. When comparing how they then freeze, these differences would seem for me to be the likely culprits in why the recently-hot water would freeze faster than the already-cold water. I’m trying to imagine what the exact properties that are different would be; is it perhaps something along the lines of turbulence or how much entropy the water has?

If not, it seems the effect is very mild and hard to observe/reproduce. Making the observations by ancient guys like Aristotle and others a bit suspicious.

This is true, but you also have to consider that being "good" at math does not imply being excellent at it.

You can have a broad understanding of the main subjects of mathematics even with far less knowledge than people with a math degree.

So there's hope for us midwits, keep studying and little by little you can get good at math.

Translating the explanation:

> We were able to perform the anomalous teleportation of a point from A to B, 150 mm away.

> In practice, according to Antônio, the equipment works by inverting time and space. The process, as explained
by him, allows the object to change location without passing through a channel, tube, or any type of inductor that connects the two points.

> [Antônio] You place a sphere or a bubble in inductor A, where there is a beam of leptons and hadrons, a field strength of 1.4, a frequency of 1.4 GHz, and a magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla. By combining all these fields, you create a reversal of time and space and are able to teleport the object from A to B,
without passing between the two inductors.

> This is an "anomalous translocation device", the PHL. It is a particle accelerator that allows you to translocate an object from A to B without following a straight, linear, or ballistic trajectory. Construction began 48 years ago.

So a year ago or so i did the mensa.no internet test and got 135, being an easily exitable moron i was fully convinced this might be true to some extent, and that infact i was a unrealised genius!. A cocoon not aware it could become a butterfly. So i checked out when you could take the supervised test in my town and signed up for it. 40€ they wanted those bastard but me thinking this was my chanse to make it big i payed like a good boy. When there did the test and about a month later the test results came giving me an 119! IQ point not fucking close to getting in. And as im now quite some time later realising is that this is probably how those pompus pricks fund their little operation, baiting in midwits to pay the midwit tax.

Mensans are losers (not because they're smart).

As further evidence of the instability of their homes, one third of the respondents described their homes as unhappy when they were children. This is double the figure found by the author in an unpublished study of 254 mature persons who were attending adult education summer courses in Western Australia. It is also double the figure found for Australian university students.
