[Will lab-grown diamonds become cheap enough to undermine the entire industry? Owing to the similarities between synthetic and natural diamonds, at some point, the stones may no longer work as a way to signal both love and wealth.
If, as seems likely, lab-grown diamonds lose their signalling value, a much steeper fall in prices is in store.]
Good! Diamonds, like platinum, are useful for science and industry, and their value as trinkets has made them scarce. By all means, make them valueless to status-seekers, please. Now, about platinum ...

Here's some good news:
The looming death of a cruel #monopoly with a deep #history of #colonial #exploitation, #humanrights abuses, fueling #terrorism and #warlords
You see, when you can grow it in a lab, nobody cares anymore about your dirty price fixing games, #DeBeers
Welcome to oblivion
History books will not write "ooh! sparkly!"
They will write about the toll of human suffering you inflicted
"#Diamonds lose their sparkle as prices come crashing down"
Indian Farmer Changes His Fortunes–Finding Two Diamonds in His Field Worth $46,000
Ukraine Daily summary - Saturday, December 28 2024
3 senior Russian officers killed in HIMARS, drone attack -- Ukrainian troops thwarted Russian attempt to gain a foothold on an island in Dnipro River delta -- Drone strike damages railway line in Russia's Voronezh Oblast -- 2024: Ukraine’s most memorable moments, in photos -- and moreMy further cogitations about the United Health Group CEO calling the health care system "flawed."
Imagine you have a diamond in your hand. The diamond does not catch the light in exactly the right way. So you call it "flawed." Fair enough...
No, imagine you hold a fucking turd in your hand. (Go ahead, just imagine it.) Now, this turd is definitely not a "flawed diamond", right? It is a fucking turd. No amount of polishing is going to turn your fucking turd into a flawless diamond.
Even as a fucking turd, however. Would you call this turd flawed??? Is there some sort of turdity standard that turds have to follow?
No, this turd is a turd. End of story.
The healthcare system in the US is this turd! It stinks. It makes me gag. Calling it "flawed" is complete nonsense.
