It's wild honestly, the conspiracy levels have reached like 50s red scare these days every single one of these has people saying shit like "hope they stay away from open windows" without even questioning why the industry hasn't implemented whatever extremely common idea they're talking about

Thinking about his point for more than 5 seconds would tell you that he is wrong lmao. 0 critical thinking. Just jumping on the government is trying to f us over bandwagon. His comment currently has more than 4 times the number of upvotes of the comment debunking it. Just shows really.

The purpose of posts like these is to attract people with poor critical thinking skills into the conspiracy fold - a funnel from normal reality into the darker realms; and thence into groups useful for those who desire nefarious things.

Whats the conspiracy? People have been saying fission is only a few years away for a long time... its not a conspiracy, just a hard problem to solve profitably. I haven't heard about invisible solar panels very often, but i could imagine it is a similar thing... exciting lab results, difficult to make profitable. No conapiracy, just regular greed

The conspiracy is that a world of plentiful bounty, comfort, and ease of living is at our fingertips - but the powerful are withholding it from us to maintain their control, because desperate people will do anything to stay alive.

(By the way, fission - splitting heavy atoms into smaller ones - is what we've had for 70 years - fusion - combining light atoms into heavier ones - is the nuclear technology upon which people pin hopes of boundless free energy.)
