I think it's the lack of it.

What the fuck, I scrolled past this thread fast and I thought the picture was three vaginas and a testicle stapled together.

And don't think they couldn't do something similar to that with planes and air control towers.

Haha oh wow

You do realize the profession will be phased out within like 15 years most probably with advanced AI systems and all that shit?

Actually if you changed helmet to spaceship and plant into shitloads of plants it can work.

Heh, someone post that 'The technological singularity according to /sci/' pic.

Don't something like 750,000 cannabis smokers get incarcerated every year?

What would be some good ways to split the iron and oxygen efficiently on a large scale?

>>1873410
Typo.

A light breeze and possibly a violation of the findamental laws of physics

I believe you have no fucking idea how air pressure works.

If only real life governments were space-happy like in OP's post.

The immediate knee-jerk response I get from most free market worshippers is OH NO THEN THE VALUE GOES DOWN NOBODY WILL DO THAT

I would love to hear how you would manage a situation like this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy
>Technocracy is a form of government in which engineers, scientists, health professionals and other technical experts are in control of decision making in their respective fields. The term technocracy derives from the Greek words tekhne meaning skill and kratos meaning power, as in government, or rule. Thus the term technocracy denotes a system of government where those who have knowledge, expertise or skills compose the governing body. In a technocracy decision makers would be selected based upon how highly knowledgeable they are, rather than how much political capital they hold.

I.E not robots.

>Things like linux are capitalist creations.
Oh this'll be fun to hear.

What part of "I support free market capitalism" do you not understand? Capitalism is the best system we have to create incentive, distribution etc. But I'm not about to start praying to it and telling everyone THE FREE MARKET WILL FIX IT, because face it, it's not perfect.
>Post-scarcity socialism doesn't make any logical sense. It doesn't make any economic sense.
Post-scarcity ITSELF doesn't make any economic sense.

Capitalism did not create the internet, a whole bunch of college-educated nerds did. With their brains.
I'd imagine it would be difficult to create penicillin with your chequebook.

>Socialism by definition is slavery.

FYI, I'm in full support of a free market capitalist system. Specifically the Nordic model. But in the relatively near future we may have the technology to provide a far higher standard of life with a form of post-scarcity socialism.

Of course, there's very little difference between a post scarcity capitalist or socialist system.
