>We're going to do things in a dumb destructive way.
>There are better ways to achieve what you want to do that don't involve you ruining your natural resources and abusing a group of people deemed protected by your constitution.
>But we need thing and indians are teh sux and the constitution is just a piece of paper anyways and the amazon is less important than farmers getting electricity so we're going to do it our shitty way anyway.

Have fun being retarded but don't expect to convince anyone that you're justified in doing what you're doing.

Protip: You're not just cutting down a few trees, you're cutting a huge path through the forest which is splitting up entire ecosystems and will likely lead to huge ramifications for wildlife all over the forest. Researchers are pissed.

You are wrong.
1) Starter structure argument is unfounded. It works on the assumption that a starter structure will be more effective than any other structure.
2) You're holding society back by planning for failure. It's silly, like saying that people shouldn't be storing knowledge in textbooks or computers in case society gets thrown back to a point where people forget how to read or simply loose access to modern technology. No one is going to go back to a culture where people transfer knowledge by structuring it as poems and sing-song "stories" and it's silly to suggest that.

3) Human intelligence and technological achievement has grown by a rate that cannot be explained by the small amount of genetic distance between groups of humans. For instance, you often hear /pol/esmokers talk about how african american communities in the US test at significantly lower IQs than the average. They then go on to say that this is caused by evolution. However, after you adjust said measurements over time you come to dumb conclusions like:
>Over the last 20 years African Americans have evolved from the IQ level of 1930s white Americans to the level of 1980s white Americans.
Think about that evolving in 10 years. That's not even a generation meaning it doesn't even make sense to talk about natural selection in this context. As such these are very clearly social issues at play.

4) Most importantly you fucked up because you thought arguing about ideologies with your girlfriend was a good idea. Pic related, it's what you did.
