Culture in Decline - Video Series from the Creator of Zeitgeist

YES. ANY PHYSICS TEXTBOOK WILL TELL YOU THIS

Can you give me a quote from a physics textbook that says this?

Because if I'm talking to someone about biology I shouldn't have to explain THE VERY BASICS. If nature wasn't inherently sustainable, there wouldn't be any nature! All the seeds of different plants would germinate, grow, then die and nothing would grow back if it wasn't sustainable. Fucking christ I swear you people just argue for the sake of arguing.

Is that all you mean by "sustainable"? Just sustainable for some amount of time, not forever? Because if that's all you mean, then obviously human civilization is sustainable in exactly the same sense.

I have 3 and half years of formal education in plant sciences PLUS all the things I've learned through reading books and personal experience. I don't give a shit if you don't believe what I have to say. In this specific instance I know for certain science is on my side here

All I can think is that you must have flunked out of the same intro to plant sciences class 7 semesters. Otherwise, if some school conned you into thinking you were educated, you should demand your money back.

If nature has bounds, then it's impossible to live outside them. Whatever humanity does must be within the bounds of nature, whatever they are.

The sky isn't purple because you say so, sorry.

The sky isn't purple because you say so, sorry.

Really? So it's bound to be blue? The rest of us here call that "nature."

Can you give me a quote from a physics textbook that says this?

This is like asking, show me the specific evidence that the sky is blue. Sorry, I don't have time to entertain your ignorance. I don't care if you think I'm full of shit, science is on my side here

Is that all you mean by "sustainable"? Just sustainable for some amount of time, not forever? Because if that's all you mean, then obviously human civilization is sustainable in exactly the same sense.

Well the wheels of nature have been turning for billions of years now so, yeah, I'd say that's pretty sustainable.

All I can think is that you must have flunked out of the same intro to plant sciences class 7 semesters. Otherwise, if some school conned you into thinking you were educated, you should demand your money back.

It's not my fault you don't have the slightest fucking clue how nature operates

I have nothing against stupid people. Some of the best people I know are stupid.

But when a stupid person talks down to everybody else and insists that they pretend he's smarter than they, with ridiculous assertions he can't back up with anything more than saying, "because I know this stuff and you don't," I don't really have patience for that.

I don't mind continuing this thread. But understand, Wes, that a lot of what I say from here on out will essentially be to bait you into spouting off more clownish tomfoolery for my and others' entertainment.

lol this thread is hilarious

might be a good idea to start by agreeing on some basic defnitions

but don't let me stop you, i can still go make some popcorn.

Thanks for this thread. Erowe1 & crew I think you are winning this discussion by....a lot.

The idea that Wes is presenting of "sustainability" and the theory of evolution seem to be mutually exclusive to me. Wouldn't evolution inherently make nature chaotic? To me the idea of evolution is exactly what Darwin said it was (paraphrasing) 'survival of the fittest.' Isn't evolution then the natural act of species trying to get the better of one another? Also the existence of extinction kind of blows the whole 'sustainability' argument right out the window.

I hope people understand that majority of the things that the "Zetgeist" movement has been refuted right?

You mean like a solution to war and poverty with technology and sustainability? Anyway, here's episode #4 of Culture In Decline, "War On Nature".

 

[Petar]

it's interesting to see that this psy-op is continuing... carry on...

so what happened to his central computer (designed by someone) dictates everything theory

At first when I read this I was like *rollseyes*, but after seeing the ending I was like *ohsnap!*, a swirly background.

This, maybe?

Already thanks to incentives and the free market, majority of countries in the world are in 1st and 2nd world countries.

We have entire communities that depend on prisons for employment, just one of many issues addressed in the latest episode of Culture In Decline.

The Alex Jones impersonator in this one is so funny.
