PsychoSpider 5 years ago [ Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that this man's first words in the video wasn't "WOAH CHECK OUT ALL GOLD! I'D LIVE LIKE A KING WITH THIS!" It was along the lines of "It's a shame we can't use this vast quantity of an interesting element for scientific purposes." ......A true scientist. Well done.] What makes gold so precious is the amount of misery and suffering and exploitation that goes into mining it. For most of the WORKERS OF THE WORLD a lifetime of labor could not acquire one of these gold bars. It is a paradox that the people who do all the work -most of them -are pauperized by retirement age. The PLUTOCRACY that does comparatively NOTHING ( as determined by the only scientific measure of EFFORT - mental and physical - CALORIES ) owns the world . NOTE that even prestigious BRAIN WORK can only be measured by a sensitive thermometer. A 100 watt light bulb can run a genius for an eight hour day. Earned income ?
