Thank liberalism for that. Expect NAMBLA acceptance in the next few years.

You should read the Unabomber manifesto. It can actually be enlightening if you're legitimately open minded. It's the reason I'm not a liberal anymore(that and I hate feminism). I don't entirely agree with his luddism(even though it's a major part of his beliefs), but I do feel he is ultimately right.

as in: not adults. adults these days are manchildren, and I'm ashamed to admit I'm a part of that. But working hard and doing things the honest way just aren't worth it these days.

Peak oil is only a necessary paradigm shift. It will require strong governing bodies and a radical alteration of our lives, but that's it. I'm much more concerned over the billions of tons of water of the Antarctic and Arctic poles flooding in the oceans.

I'm less worried about society's tendency towards hedonism and materialism and more worried about the trend of embracing cruelty and tolerating the suffering of others as means to achieve pleasure and material worth.

what an enlightening and thought provoking post. I'm going to go tell all my friends at Reddit that there are indeed intelligent posters on 4chan. i'll brag about it to my queer theory teacher and post about 4chan's ultimate pwnage on my Tumblr.

That'll show them. I won't look like a fool for regurgitating Sesame Street level sympathies.

you can tell yourself that, but I think you don't understand how oil is central to modern living. It is so cheap and efficient that without oil in abundance billions would die of hunger. There's no foreseeable technology that can replace it, not in 20 years, and peak oil will be way before that.

What kind of teleology is peace exactly, especially when judging the value of hedonism? And are you attempting to describe a utility monster or what?
