I'm pretty sure that my latest response to Dharma is decent enough evidence that I am willing to have a serious discussion, as I have been from the beginning.

You're white knight syndrome is really beginning to wear thin.

I wasn't taught most of the things I am fairly well informed about in a school. I took the time and care to educate myself. I got my introductory lessons in Marxism by printing off the essentials from marxists.org and reviewing them while working ten hour shifts at Kum & Go.

I'm not some pampered student. You don't know the first thing about me. I'm just not as lazy as most others when it comes to these subjects. I took the personal time to educate myself. I wasn't taught Gramsci's theory of hegemony in school, for instance. I haven't taken any courses in evolutionary theory, for example, I've read the relevant texts on my own time. Anyone can learn this stuff if they take the time to do so, but they're usually just too lazy and apathetic to do so.

When other people can't be bothered to take themselves seriously, it's a bit of a stretch to insist that everyone else take them seriously anyways.

You just don't get it. Technological change DRIVES social change and has since the we developed the ability to use fire.

Well I've never cared about what either of you two think. It is pretty clear from these last four posts in a row (I think it's clear why can't you compose a single post responding in a serious way to the substantive arguments in my post) that you have no intention of being serious here.

pfffft

You never seem to be able to discuss the material, you always end up talking shit about the other poster and that is why you have no real credibility.

The truly substantial point of all of this is that improvements to the human condition can all be linked to the adoption of better technology. It is inarguable that technology has vastly improved everyone's lives. Even the detonation of two two nuclear devices is not enough to erase the vast benefits the adoption of advanced technology has brought to humanity.

More and better technology is clearly the answer to humanity's problems.
