Your argument is good but is also half-baked.
Sure, there's plenty of inequality and bad[1] resource allocation throughout the planet.
>The concept that we’re resource constrained to the extent that we’re beyond the carrying capacity of the world is beyond ridiculous
We definitely are beyond the carrying capacity of the world, if we want to guarantee a high standard of life for everybody here. 99.9999% of humans will lack the chance of being able to experience the upcoming eclipse from a plane, would you argue that's an unfair scenario?
>Don’t complain about the state of the world unless you’re actively fixing it.
I absolutely like this comment because that's the way I also go through life, since if one doesn't practice what they preach, one would be just another meek hypocrite, of which we already have an overpopulation of. I can presume, then, that you are doing your part to solve the "greed, fear and distribution" problem you mention, by lowering the amount of resources you consume to one that is typical of what the vast majority of the planet lives on?
Nobody needs drones and a robot pet when there’s still politically unstable regions of the world that could use the energy and care that went into creating such luxuries. [2]
1: "Bad", as defined by which standards tho?

- AndrewKemendo 3y agoSo I see you want to go personal with this in order to try and call me a hypocrite? Is that where you want to go with this cause I promise you it's not going to go how you want it to
- moralestapia 3y agoDon't look at it as a "you" thing. What I'm saying between lines is that almost nobody with a high standard of life would be willing to give up on whatever luxuries they enjoy to give a chance to "some other people in a remote place" which is a very abstract concept and quite detached from one's own reality. You like drones and robots, right? That's good, not an issue with that on itself. Now give 8 billion people drones and robots, that's where your logic comes down. If we only had drones and robots for 0.1% of the total population, who should get to enjoy them? Then this whole thing gets hairy. And bringing more people into the equation will not alleviate that problem, it would only make it worse.
- AndrewKemendo 3y agoUnfortunately you keep making it a "you" thing with your argument and are ignorant of the situation. These are robots I use for work that I keep in my house. Good luck
- moralestapia 3y agoIt's not about "you". Look at the big picture, bud.
