Is there a word for semantic satiation except at societal scale? Like when everyone uses a word so often to mean so many things that it loses most of its meaning.
I have always resented the christian notion that you should let your guilt guide your morality. Are you really accepting your flaws and moving on as a person by focusing on your sin? Like, don't allow your ego to fool you into believing yourself an exception, but also being unable to forgive yourself is not healthy. The notion that some third party has to forgive me of my sins is kind of absurd. Whoever I have sinned against doesn't have to forgive me either, but it would be healthier for themselves if they did. If Christ is about anything, shouldn't it be about that? About our ability as humans to forgive ourselves and each other and through that we can grow and move on from our misdeeds? The churches view of guilt smacks of deception and manipulation.
Wish this were true and I was actually invincible as a teenager. I would have a lot more of my parts still. Also my fucking knees and lower back wouldn't be blown out already.
If they can scale I could imagine them making good battery arrays. The largest batteries in the world are not a chemical batteries currently however. Think 20-40 GWh vs 400 MWh (at a cursory search) being the largest current chemical battery arrays. Pumped storage plants can't be built everywhere, and are massively huge infrastructure projects, but as we switch more and more to solar energy we are going to need to make it through the nights somehow. They currently are often used to provide grid stability by discharging during peak hours, and buying cheap power to pump water back up during peak production/lowest demand when electricity is cheapest. This works especially well already with many renewables, including wind farms when you don't have control over production. If they can build sodium ion battery arrays cheaply enough though, pumped storage plants could maybe just be obsoleted.
I had heard about the medicine thing actually. When the use case actually lines up with what it is, it makes sense as a tool. It's that old adage though "When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail."
Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.
