that's what's gonna keep us alive

2018-08-02 23:38:26 UTC  

until oil runs out in 40 years

2018-08-02 23:38:35 UTC  

The two factors i mentioned are related and are not standalone

2018-08-02 23:39:02 UTC  

China doesnt have as many prisons and has more rural areas

2018-08-02 23:39:05 UTC  

all mass-capitalism has lead to in Europe is it's destruction

2018-08-02 23:39:11 UTC  

yeah capitalism encourages innovation

2018-08-02 23:39:14 UTC  

we'll figure it out

2018-08-02 23:39:27 UTC  

no we won't

2018-08-02 23:40:00 UTC  

I don't think you realise how big oil companies are and how unwilling they would be to have a new competition

2018-08-02 23:40:57 UTC  

they won't be so big once oil runs out

2018-08-02 23:41:21 UTC  

He never heard of tesla

2018-08-02 23:41:40 UTC  

good point

2018-08-02 23:41:53 UTC  

doesn't elon musk have a solar company that's good

2018-08-02 23:41:55 UTC  

solarcity or something

2018-08-02 23:41:58 UTC  

Tesla is a meme

2018-08-02 23:42:22 UTC  

Space colonization is a meme

2018-08-02 23:42:36 UTC  

also I don't think I'll be able to convince you on anything since my views put economics near the bottom of concerns

2018-08-02 23:42:38 UTC  

Electric cars arent though

2018-08-02 23:43:50 UTC  

SPACE FORCE IS A MAYMAY

2018-08-02 23:45:22 UTC  

i've been on both sides of the neolib debate enough times to be pretty secure in my beliefs

2018-08-02 23:49:40 UTC  

@Deleted User what economic system do you advocate for?

2018-08-02 23:50:38 UTC  

Capitalism forces greedy people to help others, while in other systems they can just use force to take what is not theirs.

2018-08-02 23:52:18 UTC  

@21tagtmeiern I literally do not care about the economy, however I would say it would have to slowly shift out of capitalism and into an Organic Economy

2018-08-02 23:53:35 UTC  

I technically see all modern government as corrupted and needing of destruction more than anything, but that's my immediate want for a system I don't support

2018-08-02 23:55:01 UTC  

how does an organic economy differ from capitalism?

2018-08-02 23:56:08 UTC  
2018-08-02 23:56:42 UTC  

@CryptoBlok that is quiet similar, yes

2018-08-02 23:58:31 UTC  

Glad to be of help!

2018-08-03 00:00:55 UTC  

I still think free-market capitalism can better handle the problems this other model claims to address, though.

2018-08-03 00:03:24 UTC  

it obviously depends on the traditions you're talking about

2018-08-03 00:05:24 UTC  

and the kind of economic growth

2018-08-03 00:06:17 UTC  

the 'economic growth' derived from a social media platform like Facebook seems like something that has contributed next to nothing to the wellbeing or further productivity of society at large

2018-08-03 00:06:49 UTC  

Yeah, it could be Islamic traditions or some such thing

2018-08-03 00:07:22 UTC  

or a tradition of shitting on the street

2018-08-03 00:10:32 UTC  

I believe objective morality transcends traditions - not that all traditions should be thrown out, of course, but they need to serve the Good, not just the Old.

2018-08-03 00:10:55 UTC  

lmao okay

2018-08-03 00:11:38 UTC  

what do you think objective morality is, then

2018-08-03 00:13:05 UTC  

My belief is that morality is based on the purpose God created us for.

2018-08-03 00:13:39 UTC  

Doing His will is good, and disobeying is evil/deleterious

2018-08-03 00:14:02 UTC  

right

2018-08-03 00:16:10 UTC  

wait
