      Water? Brother that’s 50’s tech.

      We’re on to Cold Fusion reactors the size of your fist, SRO high-entropy alloys, and room temp superconductors.

      :D

        Really though.

        I’ve been saying it for a while, even if we figured out fusion, it wouldn’t see the light of day.

        The petrodollar would tank in value because fusion is obviously superior to gasoline/petrol.

        It would be the end of the US currency if petroleum were to be replaced.

          See I can’t see this being true, because if we figured out how to do it, and let someone else do it first, they would get all of the gains first.

            That’s a valid counterpoint that I’m definitely too intoxicated to properly address but idk I think you cooked me on that one.

    secrecy orders have been imposed not only on inventions affecting military defense but also on those alleged to threaten economic stability, with critics noting that many such restrictions rest on speculative or unproven harms.

    But also

    The law applies broadly to all inventions in the United States for which a patent is filed or granted (35 U.S.C. § 181).

    So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it

          Worst kind of poster, sees a ratioed a comment jumps in for an easy jab. If I’m wrong so be it but you added less than anyone to this thread. You could have corrected me but nothing was easier.

            It’s your burden to show when things like that happened. You just said a vague sentence while acting like you’re adding to the conversation.

            You weren’t.

                  Except that isnt what you said, you said No. Its not strawmaning, I am not defending my point I’m criticising your role in this as useless. My comment and your comment being the two wrongs.
