You seen the obesity rates in America?
The people who truly enjoy "Exploration", "Cultural enrichment", and "Scientific endeavor" are not those that I'm worried about in this world. Most of the world does not operate like that, nor do they use (or even understand!) such phrases.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoYes. Obesity is far more complex than that, I'm also looking at the global perspective. Obesity to me is about lack of resources for better nutrition (though companies push junk pretty hard), lack of education, and lack of will power. FWIW I'm substantially overweight despite being poor enough to need to miss meals in the past couple of years. So give people BI and they'll just get blazed/drunk all the time, and make other mischief, is that your assessment?

Not everyone, but the noisy few will far outweigh those that are "culturally enriching" themselves with "art" and "scientific exploration". Just look at what's happening in the western welfare class already. How does this not become an extension of that? I'm so absolutely unconvinced by this thread. I fear for the future of this species. I have a feeling this is why guys like Elon Musk are in such a hurry too... they see it happening too.
- n72 10y agoI'm sorry, what exactly is happening to the "western welfare class"?
