   I can't agree that if you can detect illegal activity you invariably will act against it efficiently, one of the examples from the top of my head is the Amazon Deforestation. You're conflating a simple statement that presents fa

   I understand what you mean, but I think you're putting more meaning to it than it has. > Defeatists don't normally call for inaction they just present all the problems that action leads to promote inaction. Suppose someone ca

    There's a limit to which resources you'd want/be able to be self-sufficient, you must make trade-offs. Even big countries may lack some rare metals or fossil fuels.
