Talk:Evolve to freedom

mm... I'm thinking, you're actually talking about losing the benefits from economies of scale and calling it freedom. Be it open source or institutional-oligarchist capitalist or state-controlled socialist, production is more effective when it's centralized; for bulk production that can be highly automated, up to a point, etc.

Effective production is more ecological and brings more wealth; it's a political-moral issue how the wealth is spent/wasted and how it is distributed. By reverting to small scale production and losing effectivity we have less to share as a whole; distribution is perhaps forced to be more equal and less is consumed, but that's really nothing we couldn't achieve already today by more social choices in our societies.

Automated farming is interesting - it is even necessary - but (no offense) I still am rather pessimistic about whether you will get there before the big car companies, for example. Good luck anyways! --Sigmundur (109.108.18.196 10:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC))
