This is exactly what has led to massive over-consumption in the western world. Because everything is in such easy supply, we feel free to be careless in our usage of those things. The greater problem isn't that the people who run and manage industrial agriculture (or other processes) are not educated or moral, it is that the goals of our society center around money and profit. The focus of our economy is on growth, rather than meeting needs.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116028104962029038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163661664232815564.post-68326685474246485092009-08-27T14:15:42.502-07:002009-08-27T14:15:42.502-07:00I found this fascinating.
I would take the line ...I found this fascinating. <br /><br />I would take the line that if a job can be automated in a sound way, why would any human want to do that job? I say let agriculture or whatever process be automated, as long as there is some educated moral person in the feedback loop. <br /><br />Give people more time to attend to things other than work.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179483339253691782noreply@blogger.com
