What will happen if all countries start mining lithium at once?
2023-05-21 13:56:04
The price of lithium will fall, and in countries where it is mined, environmental problems will begin
Since the beginning of the decade, lithium has risen in price by hundreds of percent and will be in short supply for more than one year due to the needs of the energy transition, which is actively going on in the West and in China. In the near future, Europe will be heavily dependent on external supplies of lithium.
All countries want a piece of the lithium pie
The fight for lithium has begun in the world.

Did the British change India's caste system?
2023-10-10 11:57:38
Yes, the social categories of religion and caste, as they are perceived in modern India, developed during the British colonial rule, at a time when information was scarce and the colonizer's power over information was absolute.
This was originally done in the early 19th century by elevating selected and convenient Brahmin-Sanskrit texts such as Manusmriti to canonical status; the alleged caste origin in the Rig Veda (the oldest religious text) was most likely added retroactively after it was translated into English decades later. These categories were institutionalized in the mid- to late 19th century through the census. These were acts of convenience and simplification. The colonialists established an acceptable list of local religions in India - Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism - and their boundaries and laws by reading what they claimed were the definitive texts of India.
Officially, castes are prohibited by law in India, but changing the caste division of Indian society, which has been cultivated in the minds of Indians for centuries, is not so easy.
Point of view: how the British changed India's caste system

What is more important – spiritual or material?
2023-11-10 12:07:34
Balance is important
It is quite obvious that we need to look for a middle ground in this matter: both the pursuit of material goods and complete indifference to the outside world are two extremes.
Material wealth in this case becomes destructive if a person does not possess spiritual wealth.
Material or spiritual: what is more important?
