  My guy, Au-197 is what’s being created, as stated in the screenshot, and it is the stable isotope of gold. It’s the naturally occurring one.

  And the reaction doesn’t need to be especially stable on its own when it is a bonus byproduct of existing fusion reactor processes. The point is that we can take existing and new reactors, add this process, and immediately gain significantly extra value from the stuff we’re already doing.

  it’s like hybrid electric cars that charge their batteries using the brakes. You’re already breaking and losing a ton of energy as waste. ANY way to recapture and use that waste energy that yields more value than the materials required to capture it, is an immediate win.

  The jewelry and investment industries name up 45-50% of gold consumption. Practical and industrial uses make up only 5-10%.

  As such, while flooding the market with cheap gold would rapidly lower value, is the amount of gold being generated from fusion reactors is orders of magnitude less than the global consumption rate from jewelry and investment, which seems likely, then the value of the generated gold would remain relatively stable.

  in other words, considering that the gold market generates something like $350bn USD per year, and the total market value of “above ground” gold around $25tn USD, even if fusion reactors generate $1bn USD worth of gold it would have a negligible impact on the price of gold while providing significant value to the reactor operators (incentivizing the growth of the fusion reactor industry)

  Nobody here can diagnose you, but what you’ve told us is more than enough to tell us you need to seek a professional opinion. 

  Find a psychiatrist who can see you ASAP about the anxiety, stress, panic attacks, etc

  Find a physician who can see you ASAP about the migraines/headaches. 

  If either continue to worse or more frequent, seek immediate care at your local Urgent Care or ER.

  Don’t gamble with your safety please ❤️‍🩹

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly about consent. We can debate when and where sentience begins, but it begins somewhere and vegans hold a moral philosophy that says using another sentient being’s work product or body without their consent is immoral.

  Note that I am not vegan myself but understand, if not agree with, their moral position.

  And as another reply said, most vegans recognize it as a “best effort” philosophy, as they appreciate the impracticality of an absolutist stance. They are focused on “harm reduction”.

  I’m feeling really prescient because I finally decided to sell most of my NVIDIA and gaming sector stock literally on Tuesday.

  Though it turns out even today’s correction just brings us back to where we were earlier in the week, for the most part. We’ll see how things go Monday…
