Those African kids were starved by Communists. Just as Stalin did to the Kulaks in Ukraine and Mao and Pol Pot did in their nations. And their comrades with the same Communist ideology are trying to do it to us again today. But now they have the Globalist Fascist Eugenicist Oligarchs backing them up. It will not end well…

Everything was 'organic' until...1915-1920? or so? Glad to discuss. So for more than 10,000 years we just did organic. Defending another method is kinda funny when you see it right.

Organic agriculture can be a reasonable privilege for those taking care and custodianship of a piece of land, growing for a handful of families. Regenerative land development is something we can progress toward one piece of land at a time. But this pressure to do it at once for billions of people is insane and threatens billions of lives.

You hit the nail on the head about the tragedy of the commons and positive externalities. The farmer is most often the economic unit of locally educated decision making. It is one thing for them to experience pressures, learn, and shift. It's another to throw them into the fire all at once. Let economics work. It is mass market manipulation that presents the clear and present danger.

Excellent post, thanks! We all need to understand and work to stop what is happening here. I uploaded my own latest video last night, addressing in a less-formal way, these issues: https://rumble.com/v1boxcf-a-thought-experiment-that-explains-everything-and-lots-more...episode-99.html

There infinitely many cumulative resource functions. The problem is not that they must run out, but that large scale manipulations of markets have prevented the investments needed to derive more solutions. We might, for instance, find more and better ways to derive octane or larger chains from biological processes breaking down trash. There are other examples.

Apparently, biophysicists don't know about nuclear energy.

Ahh yes, Fukushima. A tsunami killed tens of thousands of people, but we remember a comparatively minor nuclear problem.
