The Industrial Revolution and Its Consequences Have Been a Disaster for the Human Race

Every response is a meme response because a meme is a repeated idea. Words are memes made of letters. Letters are memes made of lines. "Nice meme answer" is an inane, erronious response. Even trolling is a meme; you cannot escape them.

There are non-violent means to reduce world population, like the subsidization of childlessness and abortions, taxation of parents, distribution of free birth control...

Planets collide all the time. We've never nuked ourselves into extinction before

>a good argument to be made humans were better beforehand

No.

not him but "meme" is completely interchangeble with "cliché" on this site

We arent going to know until we've been able to solve the issues inherent in an industrialized society.
Or get destroyed by them.

Ted was just angry becuase he couldnt get honest authentic love.
And thought people resorting to video and internet and capitalism was disgusting.

No, industrialisation is good.
When we explore space, anti-technologists can stay on Earth if they want.

>Ted was just angry becuase he couldnt get honest authentic love.

True, he only ever had 1 girlfriend in his late teens.

Reminder that you can move to rural China and become a subsistence farmer whenever you want.

>When we explore space
so, never?

I'd say the Agricultural Revolution was an even worse disaster.

well the industrial revolution did eventually lead to the two biggest threats humanity has faced (nuclear weapons and climate change) so guess it's kind of accurate

Humans have been causing mass extinctions long before the rise of agriculture.

Industrialisation and urbanisation have started the decay of culture.

The sheer cost of exploring, let alone mining for resources in space is a net loss in resources, once earth's resources are out it's over

This. The Limits to Growth show pretty definitively that we've got about 40 years at best of industrialized society left. So rightists can stop freaking out about globalism and the soulless monoculture because it's probably all coming down by 2060 anyway.

Same with Nietzche and Schopenhauer.

Wew it's almost as if butturt men who are terrible with women have been externalizing their feelings of inadequacy onto society for hundreds of years

>implying we were never at the mercy of nature beforehand.

Nature had no chance of actually extincting humanity at any point

>I'd say the Agricultural Revolution was an even worse disaster.
this. Ted and people like Linkola have the right idea but didn't extend it far enough.

The Evolution of Humans and Its Consequences Have Been a Disaster for the Earth

We went from the first flight to landing on the moon is 66 years. Who knows where we'll be centuries from now? The same Malthusian doom didn't stop the industrial revolution.

>trusting anything a MKULTRA victim says

Sure.

We know it's going to collapse, we're freaking out over the fact that when it does, millions upon millions of niggers and assorted shitskins will be left scattered across the world like glacial erratics after the ice sheets receded.

He is also very likely to have Aspergers (whatever that means today though).

But humanity did almost go extinct at one point. There's a reason why humans are so genetically bottlenecked.

Nice ad hominem.

Also, not an argument.

But Ted and Linkola do criticize agricultural societies as inferior to hunter gatherer societies.

possible, but infinitesimally unlikely in a way a man made disaster is not

that is ludicrously reductive, have you even read Schopenhauer?

>People actually believe this shit

This biosphere is inevitably doomed, whether we do anything or not.

We're the only hope of life's survival beyond that point, so far as this planet is concerned.

Anything that does wipe us out thoroughly before then is probably going to take care of all complex life as well, and there simply isn't enough time left in the biosphere to develop another species with that same potential ability from such a starting point. Yeah, a billion years may seem like a long time (we've got four before the sun goes red giant, yet only one before it starts boiling away our oceans), but that's four times what it took to get here, with amazingly few setbacks, given everything that can potentially go wrong.

...Which is the other problem - we have a billion years, at most. Given everything we know that can go wrong, we could just as well have until tomorrow.

Thus, industrialized man is life on Earth's greatest threat, and it's last hope - such is the irony.

Yeah mate, mad innit haha
*walks away and talks to someone else*

Human beings should've never developed cognitive abilities

Bull-fucking-shit. Without the industrial evolution there is no fucking way Earth would support more than 3 billion people, and even with such quota not reached, poverty and all sorts of issues would be rampant.

Put simply: The Industrial Evolution might be indeed the best thing that happened to the human race

>and not having to die by the age of 40

Though I agree with you, I must reiterate by saying that the average life expectancy in the past being around 38 didn't mean that people died during their 40s, the low average is due to high rates of infant death. Lots of humans died shortly after birth or in their early childhood, which caused a decrease in the empirical average of life expectancy. Basic statistics, mate.

Yeah because it spawned communism, and communism is the greatest disaster for the human race ever. Any unique individuals will be trampled over the harsh oppression of mediocrity in the name of non-existent equality.
