Also on this, I think meat consumption is higher in the lower class, so perhaps it being regressive means it would just even out meat consumption across all socio-economic classes lol.
It’s any data-driven person’s nightmare. The idea that people are happy with a ****ed climate because they long to control your car and steak... that’s the fantasy part.
biggest tell is that the people who want to take away your straws and hamburgers and SUVs are opposed to nuclear power
Watched bill Gates documentary on Netflix. Hopefully he gets his pilot reactor built and restarts the discussion on safer and newer means of nuclear power.
This dude is scared as hell, lmao. Ain't nobody coming for your hamburgers,guns,cars and p*rn. Stop worrying bro, jesus.
You and this person clearly have no idea what time banking is. As one person put it -- "Social credits" is about good and bad deeds. Time banking is earning digital currency for doing real work in society and then using that currency to pay for things you need done.
Also re: hamburgers. Eventually it will be too costly to organically produce meat anyway. Demand will outpace supply, plus it's too dirty and resource intensive. It will be a luxury enjoyed by a very few, and socially it will be stigmatized as archaic barbarism. Lab grown meat and vegetable based proteins will become the standard. If you tax meat, you put a subsidy in place for other protein sources to minimize the impact.
Honestly, where any money comes from -- it's a huge social construct, whether you're using a blockchain, pieces of fancy paper, metal dug from the ground, or shells found near the ocean. Society agrees you have accrued this "value" based on your actions than you can then trade for other goods and services, or even invest in people who just trade shells back and forth and pretend to create more shells (known as a ... wait for it... shell game).
Time Banking hours can only be spent and earned through time banking. There is no "money" per se, it's just time. One hour of your time painting a fence is worth the same as your neighbor's one hour of baby sitting. It's a way for people to exchange services with each other without the need for money (which is great for people with a lot more time than money). It has the side effect of helping build more cooperative and tighter knit communities.
Wrong. Herd animals are the best thing for the environment. A single cow can feed a human for a year. Farming requires destruction of forests and grassland.
Unless you saw something in that video that I didn't, this appears to explain how herd animals are part of the environment (preventing desertification, agricultural turnover, etc), not how they are "the best thing for the environment". You still have externalities and concerns of scale to account for. I'm also not sure how this applies to the factory farming model.
Nevermind that it's just one cherry-picked TED talk and they've started letting literally anyone give them. I know of several, first-hand, where someone is giving a talk in an area where they have zero training. (But your points are the more salient and on topic, at any rate.)
What time frame do you see this happening? since when is raising cattle dirty and resource intensive?
