Lol why is only desert people understand this simple lesson? Here is the perfect example from industrial agriculture. I've been watching the destruction of natural resources for years in this industry. Of course "western civilization & the free economy" increased the standard of living for billions. We couldn't be in a more dangerous position. People are either to ignorant, stupid, or corrupt to understand the danger. Less than 2% of the American population knows how to farm. Machines have made things "easier" to produce crops, but it's also magnified our mistakes. I work in this industry. I've met these ranchers. These people care only about one thing. Making money. These people have no idea what the consequences of their actions are. Of course free market capitalists think they're is a market solution to this? Being "intelligent" doesn't equate to morality, and it doesn't mean you're observant. It obviously doesn't equate to wisdom. This is the perfect example of people NOT THINKING. http://www.naturalnews.com/2017-08-08-climate-change-blamed-for-drying-of-great-plains-streams-but-its-actually-caused-by-groundwater-pumping-for-irrigation.html
Garrett Posted August 28, 2017 Posted August 28, 2017 Actually I don't think machines are responsible for the overuse of dangerous chemicals in farming or ranching, depletion of the soil, and the general crop malpractice that produces nutritionally depleted food. Farmers and the violent practices of GMO seed companies are. How did machines get all mixed in with this? If anything, all the farmer malpractice has motivated us to learn more for growing our own crops. So if somehow machines are co-conspirators here, they have actually provoked thought in our case.
