In other blog entries we’ve covered the fact that our purpose here as human beings on this planet is to mine gold (among other things) for earthly kings.
This post was inspired by an ad I saw recently called envirophone where they offer big money for old mobile phones.
WHY?
Because there’s gold in them there phones.
It’s true, mobile phone circuitry is built to be super efficient and requires the use of gold as it is an excellent conductor of electricity but also does not oxidise, which means that it is more efficient and reliable than circuits build with copper.
A tonne of ore from a gold mine produces just 5 grams (0.18 ounce) of gold on average, whereas a tonne of discarded mobile phones can yield 150 grams (5.3 ounce) or more, according to a study by Yokohama Metal Co Ltd, a recycling fir. Therefore urban mining can be a very lucrative business.
Envirophone are offering about 100 dollars for my old phone, which is pretty good money when you think about it. So the gods can have my gold… I’ll use the money to buy some steaks 
I think this is pure genius. Our society is now set up to mine gold and other precious metals at a ferocious rate because of our need for technology. Is it all recycled back into the population or is it syphened off into the heavens by a group of marauding aliens.
