Yes, the economy is going to collapse. We've been looted. Then the presumed answer will be more socialism. The road we are on, we'll be full blown soviet style communism eventually. Like I've said, the point is to destroy America. They just want one big global government, ruled by technocrats. This is no secret, these are the overt dreams of the elite.

Of course.

Why would this not be the goal? I love when nerds try to claim globalist is some kind of conspiracy. Conspiracy isn't common sense. Globalism makes sense to unite the haves and the power houses together.

These people don't know the mindset of someone with billions, nevermind hundreds of billions to trillions. Its a club. you can't comprehend the universe anymore than you can comprehend billions you pompous four-eyed little shits.

I don't buy into these conspiracies, its just a bunch of individuals out for themselves, and cooperation is most often a result of trying to gain greater individual benefits.

When looking at someone like Martin Shkreli raising the price of HIV medication by 5000%, because he can, I'm certain society is not gaining anything from most inventions.

If a 3$ pill that cures cancer was invented, it wouldn't be released, because it would ruin an entire profitable industry, and why charge 3$ when you can charge way more.

We're not evolving into a better society, people are selfish, and people don't get rich by giving stuff away.

There are a few exceptions like Elon Musk. Tesla being open source is a good example.

People like Trump are on the other side of the spectrum, thinking it matters whether they have 10 or 20 billion dollars.

There have been huge efficiency gains in every industry, but all the profits generated are going into the pockets of a tiny percentage of people, ensuring society doesn't benefit from innovation.

Nice parallel with EQ guilds can be made.

I wonder where this shit went wrong during evolution. Ants have a nicer society then humans.

Uhh...apes...

seriously. Have you ever observed gorillas, and to a lesser extent, bonobos/chimps?

A silverback will casually stroll up to a lesser male that's minding his own business, the lesser male sitting down with his back exposed to the silverback peacefully, and punch it as hard as it can in the spine and then casually continue strolling without even a glance at the lesser male who just got sucker punched for apparently no reason in the back knocking it away.

That's the "no-fucks-given" where evolution went wrong.

Yup there is truth in this. Even if the person who invented it was a truly good person. It would end up in the hands of evil.

Just end up in the hands of evil? Under our current crony-capitalist government, It would practically be a matter of national security to make sure it never got released until it was profitable for the chosen oligarch to do so.

State Dept contractors would come collect it and turn it over to the "appropriate hands" (i.e. a pharmacy giant who "deserved" to have discovered this) who would "ensure the continued development of such a critical breakthrough".

Every time I hear someone say "there is a cure for cancer but the overlords don't want you to have it cause money" I take a look at harvoni, zepatier, etc, and notice how the FDA fast-tracked the shit out of them and think to myself "is that really the case?"

spoiler: it's probably not. that shit will absolutely be released and you'll pay through the nose for it at first.

The FDA is still telling people to eat almost two pounds of meat each week. They say it's healthy to drink three cups of cow's milk each day. These recommendations ignore science and do not indicate concern for public health, but rather the bottom line of their cronies.

So yeah, there's no reason to think a pharmaceutical "cure" wouldn't be released to the public. I mean, it'd be wildly profitable, so long as the FDA can continue goading the citizenry into the making the kind of consumer choices which cause cancer in the first place.

2lbs of venison & a couple glasses of raw milk. add in a workout routine and you got the hulk. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That stuff they sell in most super markets is all fat and sugar water.
