Indeed: potential energy --> kinetic, in a trice.
Never saw a physics demo of that equivalence as PERFECT as those horrifying slo-mo videos
(That thought hasn't been far out of mind since first view of those trip-hammer collapses: as metaphor for so much else nearing collapse, hereabouts.)
And this cabal has now had Six Entire Years in which to attack or dismantle: everything from infrastructure to, the methodic damage to many of those ephemeral reasons which, taken together -- describe one's allegiance to a particular 'society'? Or disgust with.
Do modrin kids get exposed to even one semester of HS physics (in between Shopping and Driver Ed?) If any basics were grokked at all, I'd think that potential/kinetic 'energy' demo would have registered in lots of jelloware..
Why... some might even have grokked to fullness why electric cars fed by petroleum-fueled plants (or hydrogen produced by electrolysis) -- are Red Herrings too. Now there's the Corn 'solution'.
Methinks the mass is still solidly marooned in cha cha cha Land, whatever the crucial topic. (LaLaLand was funnier - but just as obtuse.) Ethics-free bizness has become an utter failure, re. any positive effect upon next, a sustainable 'social contract' - meanwhile, few ever have have heard, even - of 'a social contract'. And THAT abject failure gets everyone, since $bizness remains the only actual Religion practised in these parts.
Pity.
Does anyone under 40 have even a vague sense of the Tar Baby story / Uncle Remus? I wonder..
