The latest release from Donut Lab’s “I Donut Believe” series is a surprise. Donut Lab has always used the proof series to puncture false claims and conspiracy theories. This one smashes lithium battery conspiracy theories. Truly, Ziroth is wrong. More and more, critics are clinging to falsehoods like cult followers drinking the Kool-Aid grasping at straws to create elaborate theories to justify falsehoods. One by one, critic theories are chopped down, and now another one is obliterated.
The analysis showed trace amounts of lithium and sodium at levels far below those in lithium or sodium batteries. Lithium and sodium are so abundant that they may be found in incidental amounts. There is not much to discuss here. What will it take for critics to realize they have been duped? When does Ziroth admit his conspiracy theory is wrong and his friend from Two Bit Da Vinci is right? This battery is definitively not lithium or sodium. Trying to prove it is either is futile.
Critics’ Cult-Like Following
Like all cults, the lithium conspiracy followers may persist past the point of rationality. There is little point in trying to convince them. No amount of reality will pop their self-fulfilling bubble. They need cult deprogramming. For Donut Lab, this video was a must. It had to extinguish a rumor that threatened its life. The conspiracy nuts will continue to weave new theories in a paroxysm of cognitive dissonance. The pain of admitting the truth will see to that. There is evidence the conspiracy theories are becoming ever more contrived and outlandish, to the point of irrationality. The theory that only one battery is not lithium and another actually is lithium is busted, but even without that, it shows critics contriving ever more preposterous and outlandish notions to justify their cloyish clinging to a fantasy to avoid painful truth.
While Donut Lab has more to prove, and can continue to do so, it becomes increasingly clear that critics are grasping at straws to justify themselves. They do not entertain pro and con or both sides of the analysis, but find every excuse to justify only one and not explain how another possibility exists. The evidence is pointing more and more toward Donut Lab presenting a cold sober reality, one that is a splash of cold water intended to wake dreamers from slumber. Grasping at a succession of failed guesses — a capacitor, an empty box, a hoax, a scam, red flags, there is no battery, a lithium battery, the test stopped at 90 degrees, a unique fingerprint voltage curve that was not unique, a bump theory — the list goes on. It is hard to keep track of all the crazy mistakes, errors, and false claims and expectations. It’s a hall of smoke and mirrors.
The Nonsense Needs to Stop
The world is experiencing levels of warming that are unprecedented. The crisis of global warming is urgent. We do not have time to waste time with irrational conspiracies and denier cults. If this battery technology has merit, let it be used. So far, the evidence points to an important potential for pressing problems. Instead of using preconceived notions and prejudices, patience is needed. There are a host of innovations happening, spurred by recent global developments. Move on and make progress. Admit the truth. The truth is, new energy paradigms are emerging. There will be resistance.
