idk

2018-12-30 14:32:07 UTC  

thats central planning right there

2018-12-30 14:32:08 UTC  

convenience

2018-12-30 14:32:18 UTC  

there's nothing convenient about central planning

2018-12-30 14:32:19 UTC  

theres no convenience in having it all in one place

2018-12-30 14:32:34 UTC  

hm

2018-12-30 14:32:48 UTC  

why

2018-12-30 14:32:50 UTC  

You're talking about some kind of retarded Hunger Games version of globalism

2018-12-30 14:32:51 UTC  

if you have the technology to make really cheap corn

then you'd waste all waht you save on transporting it across the world

2018-12-30 14:32:56 UTC  

cuz that costs too

2018-12-30 14:33:01 UTC  

true

2018-12-30 14:33:04 UTC  

its cheaper to use that technology across the board

2018-12-30 14:33:22 UTC  

corn is easy to produce anyways

2018-12-30 14:33:25 UTC  

Certain crops don't grow in certain regions so there will always be agriculture spread out across the whole world

2018-12-30 14:33:32 UTC  

Humanity doesn't just eat corn

2018-12-30 14:33:37 UTC  

yes i know

2018-12-30 14:33:43 UTC  

well you can use greenhouses to simulate environments to grow anything anywhere really

2018-12-30 14:33:51 UTC  

its just more expensive

2018-12-30 14:33:56 UTC  

yes

2018-12-30 14:34:01 UTC  

probably moreso than

2018-12-30 14:34:03 UTC  

If you know, why would you cook up a scenario where all the corn is grown in Ohio and a locust plague destroys the corn and everyone starves

2018-12-30 14:34:04 UTC  

cuz natural environments are free

greenhouses need to be kept up

2018-12-30 14:34:11 UTC  

Like, think, nigga

2018-12-30 14:34:16 UTC  

he's using it as a thought game man

2018-12-30 14:34:20 UTC  

abstract thinking

2018-12-30 14:34:23 UTC  

yes

2018-12-30 14:34:33 UTC  

obv no one would plant all corn in ohio

2018-12-30 14:34:33 UTC  

think real fast

2018-12-30 14:34:54 UTC  

Think so fast that you realize what you're thinking is stupid before you even say it; that's saved me a couple times

2018-12-30 14:35:05 UTC  

hm

2018-12-30 14:35:29 UTC  

true

2018-12-30 14:35:33 UTC  

but thats impossible

2018-12-30 14:35:37 UTC  

its like that story of

You're in the middle of the desert, during noon 12:00
in a room thats isolated from heat, and an ice-block in the center, and a giant magnifying glass as a roof

How long will it take to melt the ice


And then you'd be the person who'd say "Why would you put that machine in the desert?

2018-12-30 14:36:26 UTC  

probably to measure how long it would tske for the ice to melt

2018-12-30 14:36:38 UTC  

exactly, thats why its an abstract thought process

2018-12-30 14:37:07 UTC  

its not meant to be applied in reality, its conclusions give you insight to what would happen to just said scenario, regardless of any outside influences

2018-12-30 14:37:18 UTC  

i know

2018-12-30 14:37:33 UTC  

i made the example of crops in ohio in the first place

2018-12-30 14:38:17 UTC  

You drop a bowling ball out of an airplane at 10,000 ft, what distance does it travel?


you don't go: anywhere between 10,000 ft and a little over considering wind might push it to the side, making it fall on a hill, or just that slight X-distance over yonder

2018-12-30 14:39:19 UTC  

"What would happen if there was a famine in the world's breadbasket region?"
"Uh, I dunno, there'd be less food and maybe prices would rise high enough for some people to starve?"
"Shit, you're right. We need to set up arbitrary barriers to trade to prevent the spontaneous centralization of farming."
"Wait, no-"
"Globalism bad."

2018-12-30 14:39:41 UTC  

thats not the point i was trying to make though
