The entirety of evolution and social progress is a neck to neck rat race run against a red queen. Blaming mining (of any kind, gold, diamonds, rare earth metals, oil, bitcoin) for being a rat race is like blaming you for being a mammal tha

meta comment. If you want to see flagged comments go to your profile and: `show dead: yes` Having said that I'd prefer flagging to be used only for spam and the like. No one holds rights to what is or is not misinformation.
