Back To The Future

AITOOW becomes infuriated when he hears a "civilized" cretin extol the virtue of some method of production in a third world backwater? You act like they would still be doing it that way if they had an alternative. Either they have no idea a better way exists or they can't figure out how to copy it or they can't afford it (or they are too stupid to accept it is better). So their ignorance and inefficiency just adds to my anger at the encounter. They aren't ecologically conscious. Only a bored, spoiled beneficiary of constituent, evolved brain power would even have the time to romanticize such inconsequential and quixotic fancies such as pesticide free farming and hand crafts. You aren't looking at the next step in the chain of evolution. You are looking at a shaved ape playing checkers with the world. Mud is not superior to cement. Letting nature ravage your crops is not superior to a multitude of solutions. And lastly, what (except coddled hubris) makes these pampered couch surfers think they are even qualified to have an opinion on these matters? They aren't experts in these fields. They are just some twits that shop at Whole Foods and order artisinal crap off the Net while watching Netflix on their Apple TV as their Tesla recharges amid the dulcimer tones coming off the vinyl on their record player. Are you PRO-gressive or RE-gressive?
