I think there is only so much humans can change. We aren't beings of infinite moral potential and there will always be points of conflict.

I'm slightly older than you.

There is thinking there are no logistics problems we can't solve and then there is actually solving them taking into account real geopolitics.

Not at my school we weren't.

We didn't learn about Sikhism in school (actually UK here)

To play devil's advocate, isn't it always the case that the government is balancing on the right rope between keeping the economy going and keeping people alive, even without a pandemic? With NHS funding, welfare and all sorts of things government has to decide where to draw the line.

Obviously Johnson handled this crisis horrificly though, but in terms of this quote he just said the quiet part loud.

I think following this logically this won't be the case. If nobody has money then nobody can buy the products made by the AI companies. This will increase pressure for a generous UBI.

So you think human beings should change their basic hardwired nature? Obviously humans have a tendency to care for the people closest to them over complete strangers. Humans always will come into conflicts of interest. What you're asking for is for humanity to basically act perfectly all the time.

You'll forgive me for not doing that just because you've entirely missed the point of my argument.

It's clearly because we haven't had a socialist revolution. That would sort all logistical and societal problems out forever.

I'd rather not engage with you. This conversation has derailed into silliness.

I've already admitted the word raid was the incorrect one. I was just questioning the idea that farmers should produce food for no compensation and that anybody should be free to work their land.
