They're not the same thing

2018-12-31 06:15:55 UTC  

they arent

2018-12-31 06:16:00 UTC  

like dravidian civilizations barely had a military but they still had a force to instill order

2018-12-31 06:16:09 UTC  

but you cant use a longstanding trend to prove the status quo will remain that way

2018-12-31 06:16:33 UTC  

yeah but they suggesting it wont with little evidence is basically insane

2018-12-31 06:17:02 UTC  

im not saying that it wont

2018-12-31 06:17:09 UTC  

im saying that its possible that it might not

2018-12-31 06:17:16 UTC  

Of course it's possible

2018-12-31 06:17:26 UTC  

Who would deny that it's possible

2018-12-31 06:17:38 UTC  

What I'm denying is that you can ever get to that point

2018-12-31 06:17:54 UTC  

isnt that the same thing?

2018-12-31 06:17:54 UTC  

the supermarket shipping thing reminded me of this video

2018-12-31 06:18:10 UTC  

seen it

2018-12-31 06:18:27 UTC  

Container ships are amazing

2018-12-31 06:18:52 UTC  

All pay respect to the inventor of the shipping container

2018-12-31 06:19:01 UTC  

the only two stroke engine that deserves to exist is diesel two strokes used in ships

2018-12-31 06:19:02 UTC  

imo

2018-12-31 06:19:05 UTC  

but yeah, arguing on the basis of the status quo doesnt really make sense because things can and do change all the time

2018-12-31 06:19:22 UTC  

All I asked for was one example

2018-12-31 06:19:28 UTC  

changes occur in predictive patterns

2018-12-31 06:19:29 UTC  

and i dont have any

2018-12-31 06:19:38 UTC  

because it would be a first in human history

2018-12-31 06:19:45 UTC  

but a lot of things were firsts in human history

2018-12-31 06:19:51 UTC  

so whats your point?

2018-12-31 06:19:52 UTC  

like change occurring doesnt mean that the state of reality just magically shifts

2018-12-31 06:20:05 UTC  

a car was never in space before

2018-12-31 06:20:09 UTC  

doesnt deny its possibility

2018-12-31 06:20:14 UTC  

Again

2018-12-31 06:20:20 UTC  

Technology != social order

2018-12-31 06:20:27 UTC  

but its the same thing

2018-12-31 06:20:30 UTC  

You can change our material conditions

2018-12-31 06:20:32 UTC  

Not our human nature

2018-12-31 06:20:33 UTC  

yeah but were talking about having a civilization without a state

2018-12-31 06:20:35 UTC  

in terms of argument

2018-12-31 06:20:46 UTC  

social order changes all the time

2018-12-31 06:20:55 UTC  

look at the roman civilization

2018-12-31 06:21:00 UTC  

it lasted for *centuries*

2018-12-31 06:21:07 UTC  

and a car been thrust into space isnt an unpredictable change

2018-12-31 06:21:08 UTC  

About two thousand years, yeah
