Why is no political parties focusing on rare earth metals?
The future will be built out of these metals, from cell phones, to car batteries (which won’t contain a drop of oil), all the way to warp drives that power rockets for interstellar travel. So tell why exactly the most powerful country on earth is so short sighted that no investment is being made in this field and it’s not being talked about?! While we’re in Iran focusing on oil and all that, our main enemy is building massive infrastructure and out passing us on a massive scale in this field. Once ai is perfected they can use it to subjugate us into submission. Anyone who has that will have godlike power, just look into the singularity if you don’t know about it already if ai doesn’t go rouge and do it itself. My cousin seems to believe that we need oil for the super bunkers so they can wait out the chaos of a giant world reset like straight out of Fallout. What do you guys think?
