I'll answer #2. I don't know that it's "growing," but yes, I do believe there is a significant subset of people on this board who, in my opinion and experience, do not question things enough, or maybe at all. This is proven daily by the many posts that have X and other links or are simply a photo, article, graph, etc. that purport to offer XYZ as fact, but offer zero accompanying sauce. I have mentioned this a few times on the board, myself. And I have commiserated with other anons about the problem, privately.
Is it laziness? Is it that they are too trusting of what is posted by fellow anons? No idea. Bottom line, it's a failure to use critical thinking skills and to verify for themselves. Did Q fail? No, I don't think so. There are many who DO question and research. Perhaps, eventually, the others will join. My two cents.
I haven't been spending near the amount of time on this website that I used to so I haven't paid much attention to any anons, so I can't speak into that.
As far as gold goes I guess I would trust the value of gold as a back up to currency vs bitcoin, what actually backs up the value of bitcoin? From everything I've gathered it's a ponzy scheme, it only keeps its value for as long as people are willing to believe in it. Gold is actually something you can hold in your hand.
Unlimited energy? Yes I do think that's possible but it doesn't keep gold from being valuable simply because it would be a royal pain in the ass to mine 20 tons of gold from the ocean, unless someone figures out how to synthesize gold, and I'm not going to say it's not impossible because they basically achieved that with diamonds. Moissanite is 99.99 percent a diamond except it more brilliant and it's 9.95 percent on the hardness scale vs 10 on a diamond.
Critical thinking is crucial no matter the person in charge. Never get caught up in personalities. You hired a person to do a job. Don't settle for crumbs.
Libya supplies almost free energy to their country's citizens. They provide for the people as a public utility automatically because they think that's normal. Imagine that.
"1
While not technically "free," Libya heavily subsidizes electricity prices for its citizens, making it extremely cheap and essentially considered "free" by many due to the low cost per kilowatt hour, which is among the lowest in the world; this is primarily due to the country's vast oil reserves allowing for subsidized energy production.
Key points about Libya's energy situation:
High subsidies:
The Libyan government heavily subsidizes energy costs, including electricity, leading to very low prices for consumers.
Low cost per kWh:
A kilowatt hour of electricity in Libya can cost as little as a fraction of a cent, significantly lower than most other countries"
