I have told you,

Systematically, whatever is the topic, you deviate it with your obsessional questions, never treating the topic, and never answering the questions related to the topic.

We are tired of that.

If we are the sheriff and the mayor of dodge city, you are his Trump.

Capitalism cant operate with declining populations

Capitalism will be here as long as there are a few people around.

One of the big lies of capitalism is that it is since sheet of natural order. As if greed and competition are just embedded in all of human history.

This is the insanity, that the problem of spending massive amounts of money on ourselves at the end of our lives is not mentioned when discussing this “aging population.” Why anyone thinks it’s their problem what I choose to do with my life didn’t make sense when I was a teenager and makes much less sense now. Discussing end of life options is still taboo, as we saw with the cries of how Obamacare was going to kill grandma. If you think about how we talk about starving children, the discussion gets even more insane.

We didn’t solve the Malthusian problem of population growth outstripping resources, we just delayed it a generation or so. We could have spent that time talking about it instead of creating more flavors of Doritos and fighting wars as if using resources somehow creates more resources.

Have you forgotten that you said this?

One of the biggest reasons for the lockdowns and overall high level of fear about coronavirus is that America is more or less a gerontocracy. We are not as bad as Europe, but we’re close enough. Most of our politicians are old and most of the people who vote for them are old; and they’re not just any oldsters – they are Boomers. Talk of death has been common all over the place this year including on this forum, and it makes you wonder what age is too old? What might be an ideal life span? Yo…

I’ve heard plenty of talk over the years about this problem. Basically, the old spending a lot of money on themselves is really a Western Boomer thing – it won’t be around after them because because the world that supported that lifestyle doesn’t exist anymore.

Capitalism is definitely natural.

This guy makes sense, though. The more advanced civilizations become, the bigger capitalism gets.

What is it exactly you are asking for? Anything I can think of would one of the easiest googles ever. A graph of population growth? Use of fossil fuel?

That makes it dodge 5 player

[lausten]

Really. I can’t figure out what you want, because what I said is commonly known. It would be like saying the sky is blue and you asking for proof.

So, another rule of yours is that I’m not allowed to clarify anything. I’m asking, “what is it you are asking”. And don’t copy and paste what you said earlier. I’m asking because I don’t understand the question.

“What exponential growth” is not much of a question. Population is growing exponentially, and everything that goes with it.

[cutslikeaknife]

@lausten

What exponential growth” is not much of a question. Population is growing exponentially,

Took 6 dodgers to finally acknowledge the question. Thats a player .

Population isnt growing exponentially and all things with it

[lausten]

That question was never in question.

Your disagreement with my statement was always understood.

Are you satisfied now that you restated it?
