Richest 300 Persons on Earth Have More Money Than Poorest 3 Billion - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;41538090]Mandatory occupation until you are 25, after that you can either continue in your career, or just live and be a human. Honestly 95% of the work done today can be done by robots the other 5% is stuff that people enjoy doing anyways. Being creative, socializing, communicating, discovering, etc. The money paradigm is so deeply engrained in our psyche that most of you can't even seem to fathom how a system could work based on reasonable need. How to stop overconsuming? Set a generous cutoff limit to consumables. 1 car per person, 1 refrigerator per person, 1 phone per person, one house per person. Who decides who gets the big house on the hill? The census. Big family : Big House. All in all, I do not pretend to know each and every detail of how it would work, but the bottom line is that there is no good reason why we cannot use our intellect to overcome this gross inequality. Because each of us is so trained with money, like pavlovs dog, we don't see the inherent logic in doing something without expecting immediate return. Who would drive the trucks? Robots Who would grow the food? Robots Who would do surgery? Robots Want to drive a truck? Go ahead Want to grow/cook food? Go ahead Want to be a doctor? Go ahead Don't want to do anything? Go to school.[/QUOTE] what's stopping people from getting a large family just to get a larger house, and then leaving the children uncared for? building and maintaining robots must be tiring after a while - i can totally see why some people wouldn't want to do it - and then what? would those people just sit around not doing anything or will they be forced to work? the former sounds impractical and unsustainable and the latter sounds like prison aaand even then who makes sure that those people find work and who makes sure that they keep working?

[QUOTE=Emperorconor;41539630]Why? I could cite an Alex Jones website if I wanted, all that matters is group selection is explained.[/QUOTE] Is this guy serious Sources matter no matter what reason you're citing them for. If you don't want people to attack your source, find a better one or don't use one at all if you just want the "explanation".

What on earth happened to Sobotnik? He'd be all over a thread like this!

It doesn't matter where it's from as long as the actual content is true.

[QUOTE=dark soul;41538864]And I bet you they also invest more money back into society then the 3 Billion. Look at Bill Gates. Just because someone is rich doesn't mean they are greedy.[/QUOTE] Yes let's all look at Bill Gates and his charity\fundraising work, let's avoid the other 299 people and just base your argument on one man who still keeps 99% of his wealth to himself.

Don't like it? There are a few countries that (try) to nationalize pretty much everything. You could always live there (though I would suggest a bit of research first to see how their quality of life compares to yours). Seriously though, why are ppl so bitter when they compare what they have to what "insert super rich guys name here" has. Did the rich person "take" something from you? No, they didn't. And yes sometimes ppl are born into wealth, as others are born into poverty. You are never going to legislate "fairness" into the universe. Also, lol@ robot post

don't worry guys the wealth will trickle down any second now

[QUOTE=FinalHunter;41535586]Survival of the fittest.[/QUOTE] luckiest* [editline]21st July 2013[/editline] theres a certain point of wealth at which its no longer skill, or smarts, but just dumb luck
