its just something you can say that superficially sounds right

2019-10-15 14:39:17 UTC  

rhetoric or whatever

2019-10-15 14:39:31 UTC  

So the real question is could it ever work

2019-10-15 14:39:35 UTC  

Which is no

2019-10-15 14:39:46 UTC  

Unless we get UBI and complete automation-

2019-10-15 14:39:47 UTC  

define work

2019-10-15 14:39:47 UTC  

Capitalism doesnt work either. Both communism and capitalism are just short term solutions

2019-10-15 14:40:04 UTC  

Capitalism has worked the best

2019-10-15 14:40:12 UTC  

No such thing as a perfect system buddy

2019-10-15 14:40:34 UTC  

maybe if we achieve post-scarcity it could work

2019-10-15 14:40:42 UTC  

scientifically impossible

2019-10-15 14:40:44 UTC  

But eventually you have the super rich controlling all the wealth and everyone else fighting for crumbs

2019-10-15 14:41:00 UTC  

It ends like the game of monopoly

2019-10-15 14:41:10 UTC  

you can't achieve post-scarcity in a materially finite universe

2019-10-15 14:41:32 UTC  

What if we become technologically advanced enough to synthesize water

2019-10-15 14:41:40 UTC  

And lab grown human meat that’s ethical to consume!

2019-10-15 14:41:53 UTC  

i mean sure

2019-10-15 14:41:59 UTC  

practical post-scarcity

2019-10-15 14:42:09 UTC  

what if we automate the entire labor force

2019-10-15 14:42:12 UTC  

having a metric fuckton of resources to go around

2019-10-15 14:42:17 UTC  
2019-10-15 14:42:29 UTC  

and let supercomputers take over

2019-10-15 14:42:45 UTC  

scarcity technically still exists it just wouldn't be an issue at the time

2019-10-15 14:43:54 UTC  

Or maybe have every country work on population control? Stop awarding people for having kids, sanction countries that wont control their populations

2019-10-15 14:44:24 UTC  

good luck with that

2019-10-15 14:45:00 UTC  

Its better than billions of people dying from famine, disease, or lack of clean water

2019-10-15 14:45:22 UTC  

>every country work on population control

2019-10-15 14:45:30 UTC  

The west already has low birth rates tho

2019-10-15 14:46:11 UTC  

poorer people have more kids on average

2019-10-15 15:16:13 UTC  
2019-10-15 15:17:36 UTC  

yeah

2019-10-15 18:28:35 UTC  

@T. Raven universe is constantly expanding

2019-10-15 18:29:05 UTC  

It's potentially infinite (though it will never be actually infinite)

2019-10-15 18:29:48 UTC  

energy is not infinite

2019-10-15 18:30:20 UTC  

new matter/energy isn't being created

2019-10-15 18:32:20 UTC  

Empty space isn't a thing

2019-10-15 18:36:14 UTC  

Kinetic energy is being produced through this process

2019-10-15 18:41:31 UTC  

energy cannot be created

2019-10-15 18:41:39 UTC  

thats literally against scientific laws

2019-10-15 20:28:22 UTC  

Well fuck the law
