Agreed.

But the entire point I’m making is there’s nothing wrong with the diamonds, the problem is with the method and the people profiting from it.

You were saying the diamonds were not fine by dint of origin. I’m saying let’s right the wrong and then use the diamonds.

The fuck you think “using their ill gotten gains for good” means?

I mean yeah: if we went and killed every person who benefits from conflict diamonds and closed all blood diamond mines why wouldn’t you be cool with using the resources? Their evil origin has little to do with their practical utility and if the original sin is expiated there’s no reason not to?

Like yeah conflict diamonds have basically no purpose because we can make diamonds cheaper and better in labs but in a situation where there are more practical uses (cobalt, LLMs) once we cleanse the land of the sinners why wouldn’t we use their ill gotten gains for good?

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It’s not entirely off base about Russia.

You shouldn’t have ever been recommending dart or flutter.

Python ain’t going anywhere tho
