RE: Why Technocrats LOVE The "Green New Deal"

Pragmatism is aversion to principle. No valid philosophy can't be practiced to the nth degree. I own myself and nobody else. Like old Patrick Henry said, I gotta be free or dead. It is irrational to seek the conversion of others, and I am not an altruist so I don't pursue it.

I think you are getting across very well what you are pursuing. I'm going the other way thanks. Civilization is not sustainable and neither can it ever be. I am not a civilized man.

Enjoy your day.

    Hi @woodchuck-pirate,

    There ain't nothin' like perfection. We can make things better, but it is unlikely that we will ever perfect anything. I don't see anything wrong with making the best of life though. And where I see possible ways and means to that end, I would be foolish not to pursue these.

    I am for life being the best possible experience.
    So securing factors that contribute to quality of life makes sense.
    Neutralizing and destroying factors that detract from quality of life also make sense.
    Building things that contribute to quality of life makes sense too.

    Making available virtually for free a market in which it is easier and cheaper to trade whatever you have to trade (if you want too - no obligation) without any authorities blowing in your neck, or taxing you, kinda makes sense to me. If something like this makes life easier for people around me, life is likely to be better for me as well, with less people having to beg, borrow, of steal from me and more people producing things that may come in handy for me.

    If any other way holds a better future for you, feel free and pursue it.

    Conflict destroys; synergy builds. Simple principles. Making the wrong choice creates enemies and may be the wrong investment to make, as it is likely to destroy the quality of your life experience eventually, in spite of short term gains you may obtain. I have found keeping this in mind to be profitable.

    Good luck!
