why can it not be boiled down to the individual then

2018-12-28 23:25:35 UTC  

because of concern for future generations?

2018-12-28 23:25:36 UTC  

because and individual cannot produce babies

2018-12-28 23:26:11 UTC  

an individual by themselves on an island is not an economy, even a group of individuals merely trading are not a long run economy, they can't invest in the future

2018-12-28 23:26:42 UTC  

babies are the future investment, without them, the old can never retire and will be in constant survivor mode

2018-12-28 23:26:46 UTC  

till the day they die

2018-12-28 23:27:52 UTC  

capitalism is based around the individual, hence sub-replacement fertility rate which requires mass immigration

2018-12-28 23:28:25 UTC  

I would say an economy is composed of different agents using resources, so there is nothing to say that they have to replenish and reproduce. Sure, I will agree that families must prosper for us to have what we call a 'good' distribution of resources but I don't think it's necessary to examine the economy purely at that level.

ignoring the fact the social fallout of such a policy, that relies on perpetual shithold countries, and so is inherently destructive, or at least poverty is then endogenous to your model

2018-12-28 23:29:35 UTC  

you can't make all countries posperous, cause then you won't have an immigrant labor force to pour into your country

2018-12-28 23:30:06 UTC  

saying the individual is the basic unit doesn't mean that you ignore the wider picture

2018-12-28 23:30:29 UTC  

capitalists look at the society very often I'd say

2018-12-28 23:30:37 UTC  

instead of single agents

2018-12-29 00:51:59 UTC  

It depends, any society who's unit does not go past the individual is doomed to failure. Our society has been lasting this long because of the family being the unit, allowing for long term success, the individual being the main focus is a modern invention.

2018-12-29 00:53:15 UTC  

An invention derived from our consistent decadence into wholly materialistic objectives.

2018-12-29 00:54:04 UTC  

that's how the modern world has twisted it, but individualism originated from the concept of freedom

2018-12-29 00:54:25 UTC  

I'm not saying it's right to base a civilization off of it, just that it has its place

2018-12-29 00:54:38 UTC  

Funnily enough even a neo liberal understands that the family unit is essential https://youtu.be/MRpEV2tmYz4

2018-12-29 12:55:20 UTC  

the family unit, reducing the base unit of society breaks down the actual structure of society in somethign that is basically social anarchy and in itself infinitely subversive and incapable of actually cooperating

2018-12-29 12:56:00 UTC  

when the family is the base unit of society, since it is actually something that can continue society, we see societies propser and an order come out of it that actually works together towards the common goal of ensuring a good enviorment and future for offspring

2018-12-29 17:52:26 UTC

2018-12-29 17:52:37 UTC  

>College
>Right

2018-12-29 17:52:45 UTC  

should have just said it wasn't my fault mexico was a shithole

2018-12-29 17:52:56 UTC  

Colleges certainly have a more moderate student body than anything, but where the actual college staff leans is different

2018-12-29 17:53:04 UTC  

whish that phrase had been popularized

2018-12-29 17:53:21 UTC  

If you consider libtards leftists sure I guess

2018-12-29 17:54:01 UTC
