probably moreso than
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
cuz natural environments are free
greenhouses need to be kept up
Like, think, nigga
he's using it as a thought game man
abstract thinking
yes
obv no one would plant all corn in ohio
think real fast
Think so fast that you realize what you're thinking is stupid before you even say it; that's saved me a couple times
hm
true
but thats impossible
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?
probably to measure how long it would tske for the ice to melt
exactly, thats why its an abstract thought process
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
i know
i made the example of crops in ohio in the first place
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
"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."
thats not the point i was trying to make though
That's how I interpreted it in the context of our discussion
But I might be retarded, so I'll just take responsibility for the misunderstanding
lol
thanks
trade tariffs are bad in general, they harm the open market
my point is globalism, the way its implemented now, seems more like a bad idea than it is a good one
though if it starts out bad
in XXXyears of time
some other fools of humanity might reform it
to become stavle and good
its already bad, look at EU
thats small-scale globalism
and its awful
yes
because the leaders on the top are corrupt and gay
they're corrupt, and ignorant in ivory towers
I see the EU as an impediment to globalism, not a manifestation of it
its a manifestation of it
Cuz its the result of "what sounds nice on paper" being applied to reality
well they are not ignorant
they probably dont care about the masses they are deciding the fate over
no they're absolutely ignorant
