I think Richard Gilmore may have been trolling. Neways, of all the things that could fuck up civilization, peak oil is towards the bottom of the list. I'd be more worried about hostile aliens than peak oil.

They are the real cause of unemployment. They could create jobs, but they prefer to hoard their money and watch the poor starve. By creating fear of unemployment and starvation, they can then screw those that do have jobs down to even lower wages because they are terrified of being starving...

I do. I read the whole thing. Basically heard it before, but still, quite well said. I'd say trim the OP down a bit, and it will provide a good overview that people would actually read and be able to relate to without having studied economics.

Mate, what your fancy big city graph fails to take into account, is the cartels of evil rich people who CREATE UNEMPLOYMENT because they are EVIL.

True as that may be, under AC, people would immediately break out into mob rule and warlord-ism (see somalia). Also, an elite group of evil billionaires would form a giant, elaborate cartel (which never breaks down, because they can somehow trust each other despite their evilness) designed...

Oil will not be replaced with one thing. Oil has a multitude of uses and will be replaced with different things for different uses. The vast majority of oil is currently used in the generation of electricity and the fueling of transportation equipment. xroilprice.com/images/Oil_Uses.jpg As...

Nope. Can you post HARD evidence that they would be lower? It's the same with every issue, neither side can prove what would happen under AC. However, we can look at what has happened historically when societies move more towards free markets and respect for individual liberties, and the...

"I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" "Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control." - Bill Hicks That pretty much sums up...

But the world won't end until the Sun engulfs it. None of those things will destroy the planet. What you really meant is the collapse of modern civilization. I don't agree that it necessarily will collapse, I think there is a reasonable chance we will work things out and colonize space and...

I think part of it is the way his personality is perceived. In 07 he came across as a well intentioned dork. Today he is seen more as as an arrogant, erratic tempered, power hungry narcissist.

Hmmmm so who do we vote for that will let us keep our money? The LDP is the only party in Australia that I'm aware of that has proposed significant tax cuts.

Neither is government supposedly "universal" welfare. Those who happen to be born in developed countries get more money on welfare than people working 70 hours a week in poor countries. I find it sickening that our idea of welfare is to pay bogans to sit around drinking and smoking while...

Hmmm, good point, and it relates to the issue of helping the poor as well. Neither anarcho-capitalism nor any form of governments gaurantee any particular outcome. It depends on what the majority of people want. If the majority of people genuinely believe in helping the poor, or conservation...

Well it will solve SOME environmental problems, particularly with respect to degredation of land and waterways which are capable of being privately owned. Turns out people look after their own property. I agree the market will do little to prevent environmental damage to the atmosphere and the...

No what leads to inequality is a system of corporatism (i.e. Australia, USA) where average workers pay about half their income in tax while the richest and most powerful people pay little to no tax, and receive massive subsidies and corporate welfare. Meanwhile, the poorest people are kept...

Basically this is what will happen: Mm55ZIc9M0o

Good work Sylvester, have you gone ancap yet, or still a criminal minarchist?

Oh yeah that's fair enough. Understanding............. reached.

ur just being silly. especially since you said economic and environmental issues frequently overlap. Some environmental issues are more important than some economic issues depending on what they are and how they are defined. To come out with this as a blanket statement is just gay.
