“Everybody wants an abundant future, but nobody wants to dig no heavy-ass rocks.” Mining is a $2 trillion industry. It's eons older than prostitution & may be the last industry standing post-AGI. But new discoveries are anemic and VC doesn't touch it. Enter @earthaiexplore 🪨

Why don't most people supplement with creatine: > Mom thinks it's a drug > They think they're going to get "bloated" > Girls not wanting to "put on too much muscle" > They don't realize creatine will make their brain work better (wow) What's your reason?
