Explain why central planning would be more efficient than a price driven system of exchange.
I thought the great draw of communism was to vanquish the poverty of the exploited worker.
Where is the exploited worker in a post scarcity environment.

>>39318892
>Explain why central planning would be more efficient than a price driven system of exchange.
assuming that resources are limitless and you are unlucky to be born with nothing. What would you do? Your labour would be worthless.
Let's add that AI has been developed. Now even your intelligence would be worthless

You would literally be worth less than shit and starve in a potential paradise with your "price-driven" system

>>39318991
How can I starve when I can produce my own food?
If I can't work in exchange for food, then logically that means food is so abundant that it has next to no value right?
Doesn't that mean I can't really starve?

>>39318892
Key of communism is to eliminate destructive, inhuman desires of the market and get rid of the system that causes the alienation of the worker, not achieve maximum efficiency, which is almost contrary to aforementioned points. Elimination of poverty is also not central to communism, but an elimination of hierarchy that can cause poverty and suffering is among the most important aspects of communism. It's really a surface-level knowledge, but a dumbass like you just gotta pretend he got it all figured out.

>>39319048
No, because all the machines and land used to produce is owned by individuals. You have no value to which these individuals will trade these resources

>>39319078
If it doesn't eliminate poverty why the fuck would anyone advocate this sick joke of an ideology.

Reverse aging and a solution to balding that doesn't induce ed

Cybernetic brain augmentation

>>39319105
But food grows on trees.
In a post scarcity environment, raw resources are abundant to the point of absurd surplus, and are thus worthless. Value comes from performing work on materials.

If humans can subsist on raw materials, they can't really starve in a post scarcity situation. You can make the same arguments with regards to land etc.
Unworked land, unworked materials, are all abundant. It's possible to immediately claim an unoccupied area and feed oneself.

Advancements which allow a post-scarcity society.

>>39319167
But there are still people in struggle and regardless of how much wealth society produces, there always will be those lagging behind due to inherent imperfections of capitalism when it comes to allocation of produced wealth.

>>39319199
>Advancements which allow a post-scarcity society.
They already exist. You just can't have 'post-scarcity' with 10 billion humans on the planet.

Perfect green technology. Despite what Climate deniers think. Fossil Fuels isn't a renewable resource. We need to create an alternative resource.

I'd love for cyber-eyes. Sort of like augmented vision in Deus Ex. My vision is so poor and only gets worse and I have such high pressure in my eyes that I bet I'll have glaucoma within a decade or two.
I'd like for it to be perfect 20/20 vision of course. With extra features, like being able to see in the dark, and being able to zoom in like binoculars, maybe being able to see heat. Even better if I could turn those settings off and on.

I worry, though, because with such technology, the government would probably be spying through my eyes.

>>39319150
I came to post this.

>>39319149
Ok, you seeming want to nitpick everything

Those with certain resources that were developed such as AI and miraculous inventions have access to limitless resources except maybe for land

You were not born with these resources so you have no access to limitless resources

In your "price driven" system you would just starve
With communism everyone would prosper

>>39319234
There will always be inequality because humans are not created equal, we are all a large collection of genetic dicerolls.
What we must ensure is that productivity continues to increase.
If productivity keeps increasing, more and more people will be able to afford goods, as the value of goods falls.

>>39319308
>What we must ensure is that productivity continues to increase.
That puts a large strain on the environment.

>>39319301
This is a very contrived form of post scarcity you've invented where somehow land is scarce and presumably so is food, scarce enough that it isn't worthless.

I'm sorry if this seems like nitpicking, but I have to explore arguments for inconsistencies.

>>39319316
Yes and this is helpful.
Because at that point, efficiency becomes important.
If you can catch a fish and use the entire fish for useful products, you'll produce more value than a less efficient fisher.

So competition drives not only productivity, but efficiency.

>>39318832
Communism does work but only on a very small scale. Like when you live in a house with several people you technically have your own small communist community because you all share things with one another including the house itself.

>>39319355
>contrived
I made the false assumption that you would understand that "post-scarcity" referred to scientific advancements allowing the production of limitless resources, not some utopian fantasy where fudge cakes grow on trees

my mistake

>>39319377
Yes but this could easily be viewed as a set of informal agreements regarding the use of personal property. It doesn't need to adopt the communist label.

>>39319376
The more you increase productivty, the greater the strain.

>>39319408
Unless I'm mistaken apples do grow on trees. You may have to work in exchange for a fudge cake, but starvation is impossible.

>>39319308
Inequality can only exist if conditions allow it. Otherwise, a tribalist mayhem can be justified by proclaiming a natural status of an unequal society. And why would maximum productivity come at expense of human welfare. If current level of development allows for shorter working days, better working conditions, free housing, healthcare and education, why we must maintain a waste of productive power on luxury and useless burger flipping techniques?

Why would the do that? The strain isn't affecting them specifically. People don't think twice about the effect they have on the enviroment. They only think in terms on their economy.

>>39319442
>Inequality can only exist if conditions allow it.
The human condition allows it. We are all created with different levels of aptitude. We are all unevenly humbled by our own mortality.

Luxuries exist for one simple reason. People demand them and will part with value to obtain them.

Total fantasy is FTL

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

>>39319610
You are probably right about that. 1 billion is better than 10 billion still.

>>39319623
In theory yes, but the economy never shrinks, so the resources spared are just being used somewhere else, which actually increases the overall production.

>>39319519
It is said that the first human to live 1000+ years is alive right now. Also full dive vr or advanced ar would be really cool.

>>39319589
Hahaha epic only us smart people will understand xdd

>>39319650
Great, so you get more productivity with the same amount of resources. That's the same thing.

>>39319679
That's more of a strain on the environment also.

>>39319624
Maybe we could have around 4 - 5 billion.
But always quality over quantity. How will we achieve that without childbirth policies and eugenics?

>>39319461
yep. practically unlimited resources, and also a near omniscient central planner (super intelligent AI)
communism doesn't work otherwise. karl marx should have made it clear his vision was futurism more than anything - it's much too early for communism

>>39319688
As much as eugenics is nice in theory, that would require enough trust in the government to allow them to control the evolution of the human race, and given how hopelessly incompetent they are I don't think I'd ever trust them enough

>>39319682
Right, but that's again going to drive more seeking of efficient means of production.
It's a feedback loop controlled by the capacity of the environment and efficiency of production.

>>39319701
Yeah, once robots are advanced enough that they are humanlike, can create and maintain themselves, that's when everything will be free, the robots will create the power they need and create themselves and create stuff we want/need, no humans will need to do anything thus eliminating the need to pay people for working, as long as they aren't sentient/conciouous like us then they don't need paying, people who say it is wrong can shut up as they won't be able to feel or even recognise they are robots, just highly advanced programming

>>39319712
Eugenics are bad because good genes are subjective, not diseases and stuff, but height, ethnicity, intelligence etc. Maybe the government could pay individuals to get sterilized voluntarily? Like that woman that pays meth head women to get sterilized (people still criticise her baka)

>>39319688
De-incentivise child-birth. You can never ensure something without regulations, though. Some people have kids even when they are living in total squalor and complete poverty. Some people don't plan ahead.

>>39319733
That's not eugenics, at least not in the traditional case, the aborted down syndrome baby still came about through a natural relationship randomly. Eugenics would imply that you'd chose the partners before hand based off of their genetics. The two partners might not even know each other in that case

>>39319769
Eugenics is a very broad term. Encouraging the use of birth-control is a form of eugenics.

But some poor people work hard manual labour jobs to pay their kids' tution fees so that they can ensure a good future for their kids, seen in lots of 3rd world countries. The problem in 1st world countries is that the middle income kids are usually better in school and are more interested because they want to emulate their parent or other role models. But kids in poverty look up to the neighborhood drug dealer or gangster who drive mercedes benzes.

>>39319750
There are definitely good and bad genes, sickle cell could be almost eliminated in a single generation if you were to mix ethnicities, schizophrenia could take a massive hit since there's a large genetic component, a lot of cancer risks could be bred out, etc. There are a lot of benefits to eugenics in theory, there's just no practical way to apply it without stepping all over fundamental human rights
>>39319784
Not THAT general, the basic definition is that it's practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a group of individuals, so while you could loosely define birth control as a form of eugenics, it only counts if you're encouraging those with bad genetics not to breed via use of birth control

>>39319815
Encouraging birth-control is going to lower the amount of unplanned pregnancies. Unplanned pregnancies happen more often in specific segments of the population. By encouraging birth-control you are thus lowering the birth-rate for that segment.

>>39319811
We can hop that once 3rd world countries become sufficiently developed, the birth-rates are going to drop. There is no guarantee, however.

>>39319740
It actually does, the reason all that mercury is in the ocean is because of inefficient chemical processes.
Someone who invents a way to recycle mercury will make a lot of money and prevent further mercury dumps.

A system that doesn't seek to optimise like a communist means based production system has no incentive to be efficient.

>>39319842
But that doesn't imply that you're improving the general genetic make-up, poor people are capable of having good genetics and rich people are capable of having bad genetics

>>39319875
They will only do that if it is profitable for them.Without the regulations already place, the damage done to the environment would be even greater. A communist system may be inefficient, but the Western world has done far greater damage to the environment in the last century than the countries of the former communist bloc, simply because they were more efficient.

>>39319868
They will drop, gulf countries have very low birth rates, statistics are skewed because of immigrant pajeets, but arabs dont splurt out more than 2-3 kids.

>>39319879
There is no such thing as good or bad genetics. It is a matter of opinion. The average intelligence is however, higher in the richer segments of the population.

You need to use mercury in a product ok.

What if you could save the mercury and reuse it, instead of throwing it into the ocean. Mercury isn't free, it costs money.

Doesn't this save money and increase profits?
