Should sterile, lifeless, Moon rocks have human rights? That’s the case being made by social justice warriors who think that rocks are people too. Is this the shape of things to come, or mere lunacy?

So there’s an asteroid we could mine to acquire all sorts of rare earth elements? And we could mine it?
“Don’t Look Up”…
Data point for Bill:
I watch all the videos right here on billwhittle.com, but this one just popped up in my recommended notifications on youtube (about 30 min ago as of writing this post). I can’t recall the last time I saw a Bill Whittle video show up on youtube that way for me. My notification history on youtube goes back 4 weeks, and no other billwhittle.com videos showed up. I’ve occasionally seen one in the side bar, but not as a recommended notification.
Based on this one data point, it looks like your new approach of getting people to like/subscribe as well as the new hook-in ‘clickbait’ titles and images is having an effect on youtube. Hope that’s useful data!
The question that remains when listening to the rants of these moon whackos is this:
Of course it inspires a few more:
I think that these nutjobs need to be forced to live on the moon, sans man-made habitat.
It has become apparent in nearly every aspect of modern living that stupid cannot be fixed, so I propose that we just jettison the carriers.
LOL
The moral and intellectual vacuum of Leftists exerts a FAR more powerful suction than does outer space does.
What’s even scarier than people who think the lifeless Moon is an “ecosystem” — Is that there are people who not only think that but also think they speak for the entire planet and every human being on it with phrases like “We the people of Earth …”
If you were an impartial alien intercepting this stuff somewhere in the cosmos you’d be convinced that Earth is populated by really stupid beings lacking any indication of intelligence.
And that impartial alien would be largely correct in that assessment.
I wonder if that would increase, or decrease, the chances that they come and colonize us. Either they put up a Danger! Avoid! sign in the solar system or re-enact the Sooner rush for Oklahoma.
Gotta think that if there are aliens out there that like us, they’d always be interested in developing new real estate.
Written for the 1927 Musical “Good News”:
There are so many kinds of riches,
and only one of them is gold!
The wealth you miss, remember this:
Worthwhile things cannot be bought or sold…
The moon belongs to everyone,
The best things in life are free,
The stars belong to everyone,
they gleam they’re for you and me.
The flowers in spring,
The robins that sing,
The sunbeams that shine:
They’re yours, they’re mine.
And love can come to everyone,
the best things in life are free.
Also featured in the Robert Heinlein short story, “The Man Who Sold the Moon” with DD Harriman. Or as known nowadays, Elon Musk.
Also a Mad Men tie in if you recall.
Heinlein was and is one of my favorites.
I always thought that to truly appreciate Heinlein you had to read his work in its original Klingon
You are on a roll. Gonna change your name to butter bob 😉
More Starlink Humor…
Starlink is designed and tested to handle a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions including snow, hail, sleet, heavy rain, and extreme heat. Starlink is not designed to handle hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, meteors, dinosaurs, or other extreme forces of nature.
Acourding to a story I say a couple weeks ago, Starlink is also not able to handle house cats.
Consider the ecology of the heavy metal containing asteroid! The life forms that are nickel-based may not be recognized as “life” because of our carbon-based bias.
Wallace and Grommit would be pleased to agree with Scott regarding the moon, cheese reserves, et al.
Who left the doors to the asylum unlocked?
I think I saw Batman was the last to left the facility. Or was it Cornpop?
The lunatics have taken over the asylum.
It’s almost like they think humans are not a part of the universe, do not have the right to exist, much less explore and expand our territory as we can (and as all other life forms do) … we’re apparently uniquely not allowed to do what we do as other life forms are allowed to do.
It’s because they hate humanity just like their master hates humanity.
These are the same type of people who think dams built by beavers for the benefit of beavers are good and part of nature, but dams built by people for the benefit of people are bad and unnatural.
Tough to argue with insane people.
I’m sure you’ve heard it said, “You can’t fix stupid”.
Love Ron White
The problem with arguing with the insane is that it is akin to wrestling with a pig — you just get dirty and the pig enjoys it.
Annoyingly fair minded fellow, that is an amazing way to describe Scott Ott. Keep being you Scott, we all love you for it!
Hear Hear! I heartily agree.
