  • You need to start considering the motivation of the villains of the mainstream media that the ultra-rich are rubber stamping. The whole “Hero’s journey” lends itself to Libertarianism. Kingsman is a good example of a Libertarian morality tale, but compare how often an environmentalist is the villain vs how often they’re the hero in other media.

    I had to stop watching the Flash tv series because of the causal disregard of the rights of the villains in the first season. Why did the writers mean by having Team Flash run a private, secret prison where the inmates are in perpetual, solitary confinement with no access to a lawyer and no expectation of a trial? The writers really didn’t need to create that scenario.




















  • Regardless of the politics that modern staple crops are associated with, you still need calories. Why do you think rice was a second currency for a very long time in some parts of the world.

    Also, the example of indoor farming that’s near me is absolutely running off of government money, at least for now. They got a grand to setup in an old warehouse in downtown, but also own some empty property in the neighborhood. This could be just them future proofing or it would be them looking to flip the property once the main site raises the property values.

    And then there’s the MIT Food Computer, which promised a lot and delivered nothing. The smaller scale the production, the less efficient it is. If you want to feed the world’s population without a steep decline in that population, you’re going to need outdoor farming in addition to the indoor stuff.
