Labour is the source of all wealth

A statement uttered by Marxists infected by the spectre of Lassalle. This notion completely ignores the fact that nature contains use-values, which Marx notes in his "Critique of the Gotha Programme". (quite literally the first page)

Portable Power Sources

Compact, high-density devices or systems designed to generate, store, and deliver substantial electrical or mechanical energy for mobile operations in remote or off-grid environments. This goes beyond a power bank; it's the lifeblood of field science, military ops, and planetary exploration. Think micro-reactors, advanced fuel cells, or high-capacity quantum batteries that can run a habitat, a vehicle, or a suite of instruments for weeks or years without a plug. The core challenge is maximizing energy density (joules per kilogram) while maintaining safety and durability under extreme conditions. It's the modern, high-tech equivalent of carrying fire.
*Example: In The Martian, Mark Watney's reliance on the Portable Power Sources of the RTG (Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator)—a nuclear battery that provided constant heat and electricity—is what kept him alive. A modern special forces team using silent, hydrogen fuel cell packs to run their comms, drones, and exosuits for a 72-hour mission is leveraging next-gen portable power.*

Move the Sourcepost

The advanced technique of shifting the standard for what counts as an acceptable source after the initial source has been provided. First, they demand a source. You provide a mainstream news outlet. They say mainstream media is biased. You provide a peer-reviewed study. They say academia is corrupt. You provide government data. They say the government lies. You provide firsthand video evidence. They say it's deepfake. The sourcepost keeps moving because the real demand is not for evidence but for agreement, and no source will ever be acceptable if it contradicts what they already believe. Moving the sourcepost is the debate equivalent of running away while claiming you're still fighting.
Move the Sourcepost Example: "He demanded a source for climate change. She provided NASA data. He moved the sourcepost, saying NASA was part of the government and couldn't be trusted. She provided university research. He said universities were liberal. She provided international scientific consensus. He said scientists were in it for the grants. She asked what source he would accept. He said 'common sense.' The sourcepost had moved beyond the reach of evidence entirely."

Moving the Sourcepost

The practice of constantly shifting source requirements—when a source is provided, demanding a better one; when a better one is provided, demanding a different kind; when that's provided, demanding something else. Moving the Sourcepost is the dynamic version of Source Sophism: the goalposts never stop moving because stopping would mean engagement. It's a tactic of infinite regress, designed to exhaust opponents and avoid ever having to accept a source as sufficient.
"She provided a study. 'Need something more recent.' She found a recent meta-analysis. 'Need primary sources.' She found primary data. 'Need independent verification.' She found independent studies. 'Need something from this specific journal.' Moving the Sourcepost: evidence as chase scene, proof as infinite regress. The post never stopped moving because stopping meant admitting she was right."
