Greatest thread to human civilization : capitalist greed - Stephen Hawkin

[CultureCitizen]

“If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed.” Hawking continued, “Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

Idiots. It is amazing how some of the smartest people can be so dumb.
Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else. IT's benefits are literally without precedence.

Interesting, Stephen Hawking seems to do a bit of an embrace of the Zeitgeist Movement ideas here, does Peter Joseph know about this?

He's right. Centuries ago this time period was envisioned to be a time of lesuire, and it could be so much nicer for us, but instead of creating beautiful gardens I had to spend my time paying the banks for the land.

we are being seriously wroughted and for No reason other than idiot greed box's need for status.

its really something I was always frustrated about. Why all the drudgery?
I know work is good but does it have to be soul destroying? No, it doesn't.

POsting when stoned is never a good idea, s0n.

Just goes to show you what passes for intelligence. The guy is an idiot, his comments on extra terrestrial beings proves it.

Its so amusing to see posters on a message board calling Stephen Hawking an idiot. He is the Einstein of our age.

He is right of course. I would add all the rest is just talk as Global Warming is the one thing we will not stop and have never seen before. Physics and chemistry are about to decide which species survive the next mass extinction, which has already begun, and which will go gone. Humans will likely suffer massive losses and if not go extinct come perilously close.

The worst part is most humans don't have a clue about what is coming and soon to arrive. Much like the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

Something wicked this way comes.

Capitalism is A tool, not THE only tool.

For choices in the market place, use the tool of capitalism.

For for the infrastructure and bureaucracies needed behind the scenes to keep civilization running, use the tool of government.

Monkeys using tools to build an economy that their spawn can drive to the stars.

Hawking is certainly brilliant but "the Einstein of our age"... not even close IMHO, he's got a ways to go before he can be inducted into the same pantheon as Einstein.

YAWN
another completely moronic thread brought to you by the deluded Left.
In the history of the planet who has butchered more, governments or corporations??

 

[AVG-JOE]

Back in the days when the good Christian king owned everything including the white folks, it was the corporate interests of the day.

It's all about perspective.

 

[bedowin62]

YAWN

as if civilization started with Christianity
it's all about perspective

idiots and hypocrites

 

[bedowin62]

always amusing when left-wing losers reveal what and who the really are when they combine their two biggest boogeymen into one fear-mongering, hate-filled stew

 

[AVG-JOE]

Greed is good. It makes Monkeys somewhat predictable.

Just remember that through out history, being a sociopath or a psychopath has increased the odds of acquiring enough resources to pass your DNA up the timeline.

Whatever it was that was keeping the pro-socialism and anti-capitalist voices down clearly isn't doing so any more.

This should be interesting.

IMHO Economic times get tough and the socialist "gub'mint take someone elses shit and gimme free stuff!" mentality comes to the surface, times get good and all of sudden everyone is pro-capitalism again.

Of course if gub'mint would stop attempting to manipulate the marketplace so much times would never get so tough in the first place......
