What... you're against immigration now? Voting Trump are you? Only give us your tired, poor, and best socialists?!??! LMFAO... politics, shoving people's heads up their asses for eons. The contradictions, confusion and mental gymnastics people put themselves through never ceases to amaze me...

Congrats! You read the paper. Lol, there's no need to move... there are ways to hedge off the nonsense. I'm not going to be the one who really suffers if the USA tilts further toward socialism. It will be the poor's kids and grand-kids. And, unlike the politicians, I'll be honest... that's...

Every kindergartner in the world knows that "two wrongs don't make a right". "The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind." This is the very problem with the left's ideology... they justify their abhorrent actions by pointing out that others do the same thing. So called...

You're looking out for my grandkids? Are you saint Tuxan now? I got them covered... don't worry. The first clue that someone is bullshitting you is "I have your best interest at heart". You want to contribute to my kids college fund... send me a check from your personal savings and forget the...

Let's see if she can take down the country then. Why not? She's got some support o_O Lol, are you a politician by any chance? Or do you have a more legitimate job? "There may be honor among thieves, but there's none in politicians." Here she is railing against Freddie and Fannie? Socialist...

Hmmm... let's check the transcript, shall we? If anyone ever prefaced my job offer by pointing out my sex or race I'd be deeply insulted. Pure back-handed race/sexism. The Democrats are so good at it too! The answer to race/sexism is not more of it. Objective merit is not how the political...

There's an effect, it's marginal. I've insulated myself very well. They say all politics is local :D

Don't put words in my mouth. I'm not suggesting it's a place to start nor that we work backward... I'm pointing out the problem. Get to work! I'm sure you can find ways to economize. Edit: I'd really appreciate you didn't take my words out of context too. It comes off like you're playing...

There's no other option besides enslaving or exterminating people. I don't think that will go over well. The tragedy of the commons will force human ingenuity to make the best of a bad situation. I'd suggest you start thinking about social "science" as well as natural science. Good luck.

I'm not "promoting" anything, just pointing out that it's been over 200 years and a Malthusian catastrophe has yet to occur. In addition, I see your concerns re: EO as being quite similar. I suspect you're a bit wet behind the ears and never heard of Malthus until I brought him up. Now you're...

Your contributions are welcome regardless. Funny pic BTW.

I'd agree with you if the argument were "ecological overshoot theory is flawed". But, the discussion as I understand it is... the solution to ecological overshoot is "degrowth". In that context it makes sense to revisit Malthus.

No more lazy as you not promoting your own ideas. TBH, I don't think you've thought them through that well, so I'm not tempted to fish for something that is still a work in progress. But if you point them out...

WHAT!??!?! I guess it's not at the top of the google rankings yet for some bizarre reason... have you thought about referencing it? FFS the world could be missing out on the groundbreaking thoughts of a great young political philosopher!

:thumbsup: You want to ban google and wikipedia now too? Some technocrat you are! God forbid you try to support your arguments... that would actually require clear thinking and real work. If people act that way, society will be sent back into the stone age.

Every day that passes without a "Malthusian catastrophe" disproves his theory more and more. In addition, even if we assume such a catastrophe will some day befall humanity, the notion that technocrats can stave it off in a fair and ethical manner is incredulous. So... until the catastrophe...

Although time has dis-proven the Malthusian Law of Population, the left keeps trying to resurrect it (in various forms) for their own gain. Seriously... is there another explanation besides The Politics of Envy?

There are a couple of ideas that are, imho, too often overlooked in this type of conversation: Say's law: the production of a product creates demand Cantillon Effect: the original recipients of new money enjoy higher standards of living at the expense of later recipients In light of these, I...

"We may test the hypothesis that the State is largely interested in protecting itself rather than its subjects by asking: which category of crimes does the State pursue and punish most intensely—those against private citizens or those against itself?" -Anatomy of the State, What the State Fears

Yeah, Raskin and a bunch of the lefties started out w/ an anti 2a agenda... that line of questioning didn't last long though. Wishing someone asked: "Did the gun climb to the roof and shoot itself?"
