Technology will always advance as long as human society still exists

2019-06-26 15:58:54 UTC

2019-06-26 15:59:03 UTC  

Yeah, but not magically

2019-06-26 15:59:10 UTC  

It will be done

2019-06-26 15:59:16 UTC  

Again, how?

2019-06-26 15:59:28 UTC  

We are limited by the laws of nature

2019-06-26 15:59:37 UTC  

hmmm idk how is research usually done

2019-06-26 15:59:43 UTC  

We can wish for something, but it's no guarantee that it will happen

2019-06-26 15:59:46 UTC  

by scientists maybe?

2019-06-26 16:00:00 UTC  

Alright, why didn't they invent what you want yet?

2019-06-26 16:00:19 UTC  

We don’t need to be engineers to argue that post scarcity is possible. Please explain why this production would be impossible

2019-06-26 16:00:27 UTC  

Planned obsolecence and we are not quite there yet

2019-06-26 16:01:25 UTC  

You also may not know that socialists believe in production for use, not exchange. It will be much easier to accomplish when resources aren’t being directed to useless trinkets

2019-06-26 16:01:44 UTC

2019-06-26 16:02:24 UTC  

You yourself said society should just have mutual aid

2019-06-26 16:03:28 UTC  

Post-scarcity is impossible because nature does not keep up with humans. The amount of humans increases, but the amount of nature doesn't and at a point you are not gonna have enough nature to create food with to feed all humans

2019-06-26 16:03:46 UTC  

nature isn’t static

2019-06-26 16:04:06 UTC  

More food can be grown and animals reproduce

2019-06-26 16:04:26 UTC  

You are implying we will be limited to Earth for resources to sustain post scarcity.

2019-06-26 16:04:33 UTC  

yeah I am

2019-06-26 16:04:53 UTC  

And once nuclear fusion is possible we can make elements ourselves

2019-06-26 16:04:58 UTC  

you can artificially increase the populations of both, as we’ve learned through our usage of agriculture for thousands of years

2019-06-26 16:05:28 UTC  

Alright, how are you planning on increasing both's population?

2019-06-26 16:05:32 UTC  

You can also adopt more efficient ways to farm, vertical farming for one

2019-06-26 16:06:52 UTC  

I’m not a farmer. If you want to learn how they work, read about it

2019-06-26 16:07:08 UTC  

Also increasing the population of livestock may not be necessary once growing meat becomes more viable

2019-06-26 16:08:00 UTC  

Where you could have a factory that produces meat using all of the science and cell stuff, lab grown meat already exists

2019-06-26 16:08:59 UTC  

Yes, but it may not be the most efficient. Isn’t creating lab meat resource intensive?

2019-06-26 16:09:09 UTC  

Eh I dunno

2019-06-26 16:09:19 UTC  

It's extremely resource intensive

2019-06-26 16:10:05 UTC  

Hmm actually

2019-06-26 16:10:13 UTC  

@☭ Anon ☭ It requires the stem cells of the animal you wish to make meat of

2019-06-26 16:11:21 UTC  

```While the price of the burger has dropped to almost-reasonable prices, Post told ABC that it will still be another 20 to 30 years before it’s commercially viable. Among the hurdles still left to overcome: figuring out how to produce test-tube meat at scale, and coming up with a way to produce it that doesn’t use fetal calf serum (currently, cells are grown in the serum, which is taken from cow fetus blood).```

2019-06-26 16:11:51 UTC  

The main problem now is mass production

2019-06-26 16:12:24 UTC  

Oh if it’s that cheap to produce already then we’re definitely gonna be doing that in the future

2019-06-26 16:13:11 UTC  

We could also just eat plants, more efficient way of getting energy at least according to biology

2019-06-26 16:14:04 UTC  

Sure, but why not eat meat if it can be grown in a lab?

2019-06-26 16:14:19 UTC  

Since if an animal consumes a plant it only gets 10% of the plant's energy, humans consuming the animal get 10% of the animal's energy

2019-06-26 16:15:27 UTC  

it goes something like that, I remember from my biology class

2019-06-26 16:16:57 UTC  

It is grown through stem cells
