Wrong. Malthus's theories were disproven in their time and have gained no actual credibility since.
Saying "something unless stopped will continue" is not much of a theory. And really it has never been true for human beings. For lemmings perhaps but not people. We can CHOOSE. You tend to only find serious problems with over population in areas were social planners are fucking with the system and doing it incompetently.
What is more, the attraction to Malthus's theories is nothing more than pseudo intellectualism cloaking crypto marxism. That is, you support this because you feel in doing so you make various Marxist theories for population management and social control seem more reasonable.
And that would be fine if you were honest about it but the very nature of crypto marxism is to not be honest about your intentions or motivations.
You people have been spinning sophistry for generations and while you fooled people for a time, we have eventually caught on.
Deny it. I dare you. Say you've no affection for Marxism.:)
Women are paid the same as men and have been since the 1970s. The pay gap statistic is wrong.
First, it conflates all workers on the basis of education and does not factor whether people actually followed through with those careers.
Second, it counts total life time earning power to get to 72 percent and which means the years women often take off work to care for children are counted the same as the years men stay in their jobs working.
Third, when professions are matched, they're typically only matched by industry. So a person working in the office of a coal mine is counted the same as someone working in the actual coal mine.
These errors and many more render the pay gap statistic meaningless. It was disproven in the 1970s pretty much instantly by the first academic that reviewed it. But shameless politicians, lying interest groups, and hack ideological professors bring it out with some regularity to dupe the gullible.
You see the same thing with Malthus's theories on population. Crypt-communists love bringing him up... but they rarely point out that Malthuse's theories were disproven in his own time, he personally disavowed them, and the whole thesis was based on the fact that the Irish were starving to death while ignoring that the British were literally exporting food from Ireland in the middle of a fucking famine.
Look, if you want to have beliefs, that is fine. You are entitled to believe whatever you want. However, you are not entitled to make up your own facts. Either make an argument that does not rest on facts what so ever or fit your argument TO the facts.
If you did that, you'd drop the whole gender disparity thing and go find something else to bitch about.
These same sad sack ideological robots just can't help themselves.
Your bullshit doesn't work so well on the internet and certainly not on a board where people are inclined to actually look at your data, check your methodology, and question your premise.
You people brought this crap up on this board repeatedly and everyone collectively went through it all and concluded it was shit.
Enough.
You people are not interested in the problem because there isn't one. What you care about is your solution. And your solution is giving a bunch of dishonest hipsters total control over fucking everything.
Enough with the witch trials. Enough with the book burnings. Enough with the sophistry. You've been found out.
You people have been running around all over the internet shitting all over everything. You've even shat all over the Magic the Gathering community and comic books... There is nothing you idiots won't attempt to make about sexism.
Everything is apparently sexist.
Here is a better theory, the scientists and programmers tend to be introverts. And introverts make extroverts feel uncomfortable because they express themselves differently. Women are much more likely to be extroverts than introverts. From what I've seen, every women complaining about sexism in tech etc has been an extrovert. Rather than sexism, it could be that she's just not comfortable being surrounded by lots of introverts when she's an extrovert.
And to that I have to say tough shit. Because the introverts deal with that all the time. Introverts are about 25 percent of the population which means in nearly every situation they're out numbered 3 to 1. So cry me a fucking river that you get put in a situation where the tables are turned on you for once.
And how fucking dare you take what is a safe space for introverts... a place they can feel comfortable and be successful... and shit all over them and suggest that they're sexist just because you didn't get full extrovert emotional feedback.
Nuke this issue from orbit. It is the only way to be sure.
I believe Cicero did say it. It was in and around his little monologue on how all you need to be happy is some peace and a good library.
He was going on about how people value the wrong things in life. It is a little rich from such a wealthy guy but the point is still well taken.
People value stuff and they value what people think.. especially people you don't know, don't know you, and that you might not even respect. And really you should value a thing for the right reasons. It is fine to value a thing. Just know why you ACTUALLY value it and then value it within that context. And as to people... that we care at all what most people think is a vestigial remnant of our hunter gatherer past. We lived in much smaller social units. There was no opinion you could be exposed to that was not from someone you knew somewhat intimately. These were people that could effect your life in some way. Their opinions mattered to some extent.
But the average person to another average person? Utterly irrelevant. Person A can't effect person B because they probably don't have any social ties or economic ties or political ties. There's nothing there but temporary proximity and happenstance.
And on that basis who gives a shit what they think whether it is true or false?
And even if they can effect you, your "care" should be associated with something "real" and "material". Care to the extent that whatever is going on is going to matter to you in fact.
People just get too emotional, reactionary, and apelike with each other.
Our ape instincts do not serve us well outside of their evolutionary context. Which naturally precludes employing them on the fucking internet.
As to losing arguments, you are the fucking black knight of this discussion. You were utterly annihilated in this discussion. I cited an issue, you called it a conspiracy theory, I cited evidence, and you basically lost your tiny little mind when I did that and started declaring victory after getting raped.
You want to claim to the winner with no legs, no arms... as I coconut clap off over the hill? So be it. Be a deluded halfwit. If you're an idiot, then exactly what can I do for you? You're beyond help.
I don't know where I picked that one up but I heard it ages ago and it is axiomatic in my mind at this point.
I do not actually ever get offended. I will express offense when it is socially expected of me or when I need to communicate with someone that communicates on that level. But comments do not offend.
I will respond to them. If you act in a hostile manner then I will respond accordingly. But I won't be offended while I do it.
I'm a big fan of responding to things cold... at least within my self. Externally I can emote anything. There are a great many people that are very animalistic in their social patterns and require instinctual social cues to understand what you're saying. This annoys me but it is quite common so I make a point of expressing myself enough along those lines that such people can follow along. But when I know I am in the company of people that don't need that, I drop the act.
I am a profoundly philosophical creature. I do what I do by choice. I have emotions but they means as much to me as any other sensation. Hot or cold... pressure... pain... pleasure... I am aware of the emotion in the same sense that you are aware your finger is touching something warm or cold. That is all. I have the emotions but I am not my emotions. I am rational. The emotions are just sensory information.
I don't think the NSA has anything to do with this because they have very different interests.
The NSA does primarily concern itself with state level enemies and various terrorist groups. Not only does the NSA not give a shit about pirate groups but they don't really care about the heroine dealers that the DEA is after either.
The NSA is only interesting in that they are the apex of US cyber spycraft. But while they are the apex they are also really only interested in the apex themselves of which pirates don't merit any attention.
NSA aside, I think we largely agree. The studios could have done better in this struggle but they'd have had to have been more reasonable from the get go.
These guys don't seem to grasp they're in an arms race that they already lost.
Between VPNs and cyberlockers exactly how do these clowns think they're going to stop anything? People selling heroine on the internet are rarely caught and as we can see despite the DEA expanding their efforts against it, that is expanding geometrically.
These people think that they're going to have more of an effect against people pirating the latest movie than the DEA is having stopping people from selling heroine? They're just so f'ing ignorant.
The movie industry and the music industry need to have whatever portion of their business deals with such things slashed and burned... and then replaced with people that actually understand the technology.
Yes yes, if they can start hauling 14 year olds into court they might get people afraid enough to change their behavior. But it will also be a huge PR problem because they'll look like assholes whatever the morality of piracy is... and to make matters a great deal worse, changing behavior does not mean making anyone actually stop. It just means "change".
A torrenting VPN can cost as little as 5 dollars a month. With that you pretty much buy immunity from this stuff right there.
What is more, people might start pushing torrents through some sort of Tor based anonymizing system... which if it works could see the additional costs set to zero though at the price of slowing down whatever the download was because you're pushing so much f'ing garbage around.
Then you have cyberlockers which are everywhere. You can download most things through them as it is and if the torrenting networks get iffy then be shocked and amazed when everyone just starts going to cyberlockers as their first resort.
And that's just what exists RIGHT NOW. They start messing more substanively with the torrenting networks and god knows what people will come up with.
If the people running the movie studioes and music studioes understood the dynamic elements to what they were dealing with the LAST thing they would want to do is hit the whole system with a hammer and force a paradigm shift.
If they were smart, they'd go softly softly and collect lots and lots of data and try to subtly change consumer buying and pirating and viewing patterns without triggering a freakout response that could make the system a million times less manageable than it is right now. They can at least track things as it is now. If they smash the system they might not even be able to estimate what is going on.
And another thing which is endlessly irritating is the consistent conflation of Pirates = Paying customers. Some content creators might not care on the rather spiteful logic that if you didn't pay for it than I don't want you to have it. But on a purely dollar and cents calculation, a pirate that wouldn't have bought your content in the first place is irrelevant. Seperating out A from B is complicated but you can get a clearer notion of what is going on if you cut people off from a pirated copy and see how many of them resort to buying. The numbers are generally a good deal lower than the pirating population.
The pirating population shows you how many people would consume your product if the price were set to ZERO. Any fool with any knowledge of supply and demand is aware that if you increase prices on elastic goods that fewer people will buy. You could for example charge a thousand dollars for the latest super hero movie and SOMEONE would buy it. But the number of people that would buy it would be nothing like the numbers when the price is set to 20 dollars. And those numbers would be nothing when compared to if the price were set to ZERO.
Always when they talk about their lost profits they assume that X Pirates = X paying customers Thus Loses from piracy = X pirates * current retail price.
Which is idiotic.
If the movie industry wants to get more people to buy their content, they might consider lowering their prices. Already they've been forced to do thi
When someone spit balls something out of vague memory you are expected to understand that and cut them a bit of slack.
You are not permitted to be sit there like some autistic computer and nitpick every tiny largely irrelevant inconsistency when none of them have any undermininig influence on the inital statement or on the context of the discussion.
I regret if that sounds offensive to you but as Cicero said, there are only two types of insults. True and False. If an insult is true you have no right to be offended for it is the truth. If an insult is false then you have no reason to be offended because it is false. Thus one never has a reason to be offended for all insults are true or false.
As such, process what I've said... and determine if it is true or false and respond to it accordingly... without offense.
I don't know anyone that uses aol mail that is less than 70 years old.
I ran into someone that uses CompuServe email awhile ago... not just the web client either but the actual CompuServe email client that you have to install on the computer. The nostalgia with that is pretty funny. It looks just like it did in the 90s.
What I'd like to see more people moving towards is self hosting. Yes, I know that the ISPs don't want you to run servers on your internet connection but an Email server for ONE person is hardly going to be any stress on their network. And frankly, I just think that given the NSA and the big companies rifling through our emails it might be a good idea to just self host.
Well, perhaps that is another idea. Have multiple plumbing. Pump gray water and drinking water. With the idea that one is for gardening, washing, etc and another is for drinking. So long as you don't actually drink the diluted drugs they're unlikely especially in those concentrations to have any effect. And that system should of course be applied at the house hold level as well by reusing drinking water as gray water before flushing it into the sewer.
Others have brought up the residual drug issue and that's a very good point. I don't have an answer for that. If they can't sort that out, then you are correct... we can't do this...
A possible solution as unpopular as it is would be to require drugs be biodegradable. That is unlikely to be accepted but absent that... I don't know how you recycle the water...
without... filters? The issue with filters is that they clog up really fast and it is absurdly expensive to replace them. But assuming you had that issue licked... filters.
... I mean, the metal isn't actually lighter than water... it just has lots of bubbles in it. I mean... I could tie a helium balloon to a brick... but I'm not actually making the brick lighter am I?
You could foam anything anything and make it lighter.
As to composting human waste, I've seen facilities that do it... easily the most horrifying smell you can imagine. Seriously unbearable.
As to pig toilets... gross. My ancestors for better or worse never used those. Not that they were paragons of health or anything... that particular method of being disgusting never caught on.
It works. I didn't say you could burn the stuff or use it as fuel. I was saying it had the consistency of charcoal.
Regardless, you do that to the waste and it is inert and can be safety used as fertilizer in pretty much any application without worrying about biological contamination.
You're assuming that rotavirus is immortal or something. If the existing practices for water sanitation are insufficient to kill it, then clearly those need to be looked at so it is killed.
We already put a certain amount of chlorine in our water. Does your water recycling concept take that into consideration? There are other things... a fine filter would remove the virus. Those are expensive but maybe that's just a requirement?
Also you can look at UV treatment... that works sometimes... I'd say boil it, but if you're doing that you might as well just use sea water.
