>Resources were placed on this earth for the advancement of humankind.
I hate to be that guy, but [Citation Needed].
Otherwise, I agree with you what what essentially amounts to a primitivist approach is counterproductive.
- vorpalhex 7y agoYou're right, those resources are really going to benefit all of catkind. My cat loves iron mines, favorite past time really.
- selectodude 7y agoThe resources weren't placed anywhere for the benefit of anybody. They just...are.
- vorpalhex 7y ago> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. Semantic games seem silly. If the parent prefers "placed" to "existed since formed in the Earth", then let's grant them the lingual shortcut. Likewise for "for Mankind" instead of "having existed for no particular purpose but being readily available for the usage of the dominant species of the land which can heavily benefit from their extraction and processing."
- cloakandswagger 7y agoI recognize that this tangent isn't particularly productive since it's so philosophical and no one is going to change their mind from a comment thread but: I have a difficult time believing that we arrived on a planet perfectly suited for our habitation and rife with resources that become unlocked at the exact point in our progress where we have technologies that require them, purely by chance.
