Our efficiency in ag increases that potential by freeing them up. Not all resources show immediate promise or have an obvious use. As a teacher, iirc, this ought to be obvious to you. What would we do without all these people, and how do we know which ones will make those big discoveries that your chosen profession exists solely to disseminate...who would you disseminate that information to? How do you judge potential? Am I wasting the excess steam cranking out of my head growing food when I could be curing cancer or designing interplanetary colonization vehicles? You really have to let this "useless" shit go man.
Quote:I reckon we should distribute food better, guaranteeing all people adequate health, and then put that human labor to good use colonizing Mars or something. I do not think we should feed them waffles and Big Macs, requiring the existence of big animals in little shitty spaces, as a way to let off the "steam" caused by our efficient production of food.I'm with you 100% on every item. I suppose I could modify one, I think we ought to distribute -food production- better. Distribution of commodities is one of the problems with our current system (though I'm sure we could eliminate the nastiness and keep the distribution model). I would also caution against good use, "good use", with regards to labor, would be up to the individual (but putting boots on the ground on some other planet definitely deserves billing on the list of good use..lol). "Good use" may be nothing more than singing me a song while I pull weeds...
