thats a means of production
at what point does it cross the line into where private property is inapplicable
It's totally applicable
industry is stuff like retail or manufacturing or something like that
stuff that takes up space is what i'm talking about
actual industry
an axe can produce stuff but it doesn't take up land that doesn't belong to one person in particular
plus idrc if people formally own the means of production or not, that's just a formality
I really cant disagree with you but I cant agree with you, Im going to need a while to digest this, but I appreciate the food for my thought
np
good convo
Have you ever read anything by Hernando de Soto? The Peruvian economist, not the Spanish conquistador
He argues that countries that allow for private ownership of the the means of production are generally wealthier overall, and traces examples in South America and Africa of countries expanding their property rights and seeing economic growth as a result
religion is shit
end of sentence and being in this channel.
Why is religion shit?
many reasons but the first being the ignorant people who follow it thinking they are above the world.
Doesn't the same apply to atheists?
No because we dont construct palaces because of it
We sit in our basement making podcasts
No because I don't go around telling everyone to be an atheist or acting like I'm above others
Be an atheist
Don't atheists claim that religion is stupid?
Isn't that a form of superiority?
Not necessarily
Being above something stupid?
Atheists are just people that have lack of belief in god
Doesn't necessitate attacking theism
Don't have lack of belief?
Not all atheists claim god is stupid, but I do
Sorry
Have lack of belief
Why do ya?
Typed wrong my bad
I just hate what religion does to people
and how its forced on kids
what does it do to people?
I was forced to be confirmed against my will
like when this women said to me "one day the lord will open your eyes" and i said "how about I grab my knife and open your eyes right now? If you don't want that to happen, I recommend you turn around, get off my property, and we'll pretend this conversation never happened"
