Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.

Those cheap goods are saving millions of lives! That "harmful" productivity drives scientific progress!
What kind of a communist are you! Its called scientific socialism for a reason. We can not solve the challenges of today with the social networks and production patterns of yesterday.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Face it the only way to convince people they don't need ubereconomic growth is when they already have a good standard of living. And I don't know if you have noticed but Western Europe has very low growth and it has in the past two decades consistently invested more and more in green tech.
If our current system fails, we'll just switch back to the no welfare, low tax, planet plundering capitalism we had in the late 19th century.

You mean socialism; after all, who is going to pay for all the welfare benefits when the population rate slows? You're just going to keep piling them onto the few remaining productive people, and even they won't work for free.
In a command economy it's as simple as growing more food and building more houses etc...I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

The solution for Europe and Japan is much simpler than new taxes:
IMMIGRATION.
That is why the US continues to grow as it does. Let people from the third world move to Europe and once there they would have more kids, and the populations of European states grow, while at the same time not increasing the overall human population.If you don't like reality, change it! me

Yes I do. Why would I then have argued in another thread that we should help the developing world by starting a large project distributing contraceptives to curb population growth and slow the AIDS pandemic? Why have I argued that educating women in the third world is the best course of action?Originally posted by Kidicious

I'm not advocating growth, I'm advocating avoiding collapse societal collapse to show that emancipated women may not be the baby factories that women in traditional societies are but that they can make enough of them to keep the society stable.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
