i like how he says tetrahydrocannabinol as if he knows anything about organic chem
that's not even really accurate to refer to cannabis as "taking tetrahydrocannabinol", as there are many cannabinoids present in marijuana.
"Taking tetrahydrocannabinol" would imply having just the chemical itself and ingesting it.
I know, I know, it sounds cool to use big words Stomple; you never have to actually think or learn anything if you can just present the illusion of intelligence

All language is also subjective too, and there's never a truly "accurate" way of saying something.
"There is nothing outside of the words." -Jacques Derrida
We will always be able to refine an idea communicated through words into higher tiers of verbal complexity.
If you look into philology, one could almost say that technological advancement and society's current paradigm haven't been actively improving by their own accord; but rather are a direct effect of a larger human population.
More people means a better availability of natural resources, allowing for technological advancement and industrialization.
It's possible we've never really created anything, we're just riding the wave. It's like "what came first, the chicken or the egg?"
If you could hypothetically go back in time to the middle ages and give them instructions to build, say, a television set, it wouldn't do you any good -- because they wouldn't have the materials to make one; and gathering those materials would require an advancement made in everything else first, as the state of resource availability is the population's human effort collectively, and dependent on the size of the population.
If the dudes who invented the television set never invented it, someone else would have at around the same period in history, as the resources were finally available to make one - and its "invention" was innevitableLast edited by Plug Drugs; 04-27-2013 at 09:25 AM.

Nowadays we've shot way past an optimum size for the population. The first world treats workers in the third world as if they are expendable pieces of equipment; it's really just slavery in disguise - we've changed the words and used capitalism as a veil to make slavery seem ethical.
And it can be partly attributed to there being so damn many of themLast edited by Plug Drugs; 04-27-2013 at 09:28 AM.
