Did you run though a field of wheat like Theresa May?

I'm a millennial, just trying to not let the world's ills bother me now. Life is too short and what you make it.

Why does investment entitle people to live off said thing? That's because there are agreements between the parties involved. If I want to start a business and need seed money I willingly enter a contract with investors just as they willingly risk their investment capital.

Of course they are more efficient, nobody sets up co operatives. If they were a more efficient way of running a business more people would do it.

Geopolitical, as in a combination of political, cultural and geographical.

I don't think noting the problem is partially political is enough to say it's easily solveable.

I think we're coming at this from a different philosophy, you see politics as something that is easily changeable, I see it as a product of environmental and cultural positions. Changing the entire world's politics is a nigh on impossible task.

You see geopolitics as a variable, I see it as a constraint on the actual variables.

Only 1 live album though. That's surprising considering.

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.

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

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.
