Lol, edgy OP thinks they’re smarter than everyone else, when their wrong meme is just… lame.
I wonder how many of the downvotes think ‘Reductio ad absurdum’ is a spell from Harry Potter and not a Latin philosophical phrase.
I wonder how many downvotes are because this meme suck and its ‘point’ is moot?
Less than there are upvotes thinking the opposite. Oh no the troglodytes are outnumbered :(
I really roll my eyes about the “dismantle the capitalist system because food costs money” memes. Like dude, dismantle it to what? Do you think no one starves when there’s no capitalism?
“We’ve tried nothing and nothing works”
Found this digging through the Controversial pile. What a controversy indeed! From a non-political perspective, everything written in the meme seems factually correct, so I’m marking this down as some of the best bait ever
Many capitalist models depend on exponential growth. That doesn’t exist in nature (I think to even in cancer so I too disagree with the original meme on some level but agree with the overall notion)
What is very common in biology is logistic growth, or the “S curve”. It starts like an exponential function, looks almost linear in the middle and approaches a maximum at the end.
You can model it as an exponential curve if you’re only interested in the beginning but to extrapolate it further is just wrong.
Take lily in a pond. It might double each day for a while, but will slow down eventually. When it covers half the area at one day, it won’t cover it all the next. At that point, it takes as long to cover everything except what it did at the start, as it took to cover half the pond from the start (approximately of cause).
Economic models often don’t take this into account but just assume exponential growth which is wrong and not found in biology.
Limitless != exponential.
