Why the free market helps the environment

[FirstAscent]

Vague and meaningless chatter.

Thanks for the summary. Saved me from having to read the rest of your post.

Your knowledge on the environment is so limited, it makes no sense for you to even consider pushing your fantasy political ideal within the context of environmental issues.

to reiterate:

You're more than welcome to necro your thread where you were educating us about the dangers of free markets to the environment, or you can go back to wanking to avant-garde films. I don't recall yanking your chain.

What is that but an admission that you're both lacking in information about the environment, and too lazy to proactively study it yourself?

And regarding films, I believe it was you who said Woman in the Dunes and Pale Flower were shitty foreign films. I quote below:

If I haven't read the propaganda books you recommend me, what makes you think I'm going to watch the shitty foreign movies you suggest? Now if you have something to add to the discussion, please do. If not, go jack off again to the picture of the spotted owl.

You're displaying ignorance when compared against film critics and the public alike, further compounded by your own admission that haven't seen the films, and thus are in no position to judge. Here's two more recommendations for you, so I can see you make more of a fool of yourself as you render your uneducated opinion on the matter: watch Yi Yi and Tokyo Story. I think your actions are an excellent summary of you: you are pretentiously knowledgeable about things you don't actually know anything about.

Specifically, it's a request for you to either get off your lazy ass and finish what you started, or fuck off. Either way, stop saying that my knowledge of the environment is so lacking when you can remedy that, and have yet to even prove it.

Ever hear the saying: "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink?" I have provided you with book links. It's not my responsibility to retype the content of those books here. Nor is it my responsibility to be your teacher. If you want to educate yourself, then do so. If not, then stop tying your political agendas to domains of knowledge you are ignorant of.

The knowledge is out there. Go get it. But never say that I am responsible for your own education.

I cannot fathom where you think you are justified in calling me lazy when it's your education we are discussing.

[myrkul]

Because I contend that I need no further education. You're the one saying I am lacking. If you want me to read those books, I suggest you buy them for me. I have an Amazon account, and you can even gift them directly to my Kindle. I promise I'll read them if you do. I'm not going to expend my resources to make you happy. It's enough that I'll be spending time.

So, either correct my "ignorance", or fuck off. Either way, you won't have to deal with it any more.

You may not need any more education, as long as you operate within the bounds of your knowledge. But you have stepped outside of those bounds by promoting your political ideology with examples from a domain that you currently remain ignorant of: ecology.

So, either correct my "ignorance", or fuck off. Either way, you won't have to deal with it any more.

I currently am correcting your ignorance by pointing out that you are ignorant of the fact that you need more knowledge within certain domains before you conflate your political ideology with ecology and other environmental issues. You have now been informed of this shortcoming. In the future, don't push your political ideals by claiming its environmental effects until you are well informed about ecology, and other environmental issues.

I see no reason to "fuck off", as you say, if you continue to do so, while willfully choosing to remain uninformed on the complexities of the environment. By willfully, I mean by your own admission, as quoted below:

I see no ignorance. That's the problem. You say I am ignorant, I say I am not. Prove it.

Is this one of these threads where people use different definitions of "free market" and then derail the discussion into a "NO U" rampage?

Well, I don't know about the different definitions, but it's definitely been derailed into "NO U."

My proof lies with your own statement:

Because I contend that I need no further education.

Personally, I quest for knowledge everyday. And I learn everyday. By doing so, I realize that I would never make a statement like you, until the day I die, no matter how long I may live.

I would never make a claim that I need no further education, in virtually any domain. The wiser one gets, the more he's aware of how little he knows. However, you're free to believe you know it all, and by extension, appear the fool in discussion.

Oh, indeed, I do learn new things every day, and continually seek knowledge. But I am not in need of education. And certainly not from the likes of you.

Then stop requesting that I revive a certain thread and summarize large quantities of scientific studies for you.

Stop stalking me, trying to educate me on the environment (and please, god, movies), and it's a deal. If you wish to educate me, you know where to do it.
