Putting aside that the narrative often goes to the victor, there is much common knowledge today that would have been conspiracy theory yesterday. The British Army thanks our grandparents for not raising a stink over their meddling in Arabia leading up to World War 1. And Hitler's senior citizen aged corpse says hello from Argentina.

Capitalism isn't perfect, but it is the main driving force of innovation and technological achievement. Unfortunately some people will end up with less and others with more, it's how the system works. While a large amount of a person's life is dictated by where they are born and how well off their parents are, their innate human capital (intelligence, creativity, reasoning etc...) and education are better predictors for success, especially in first world countries.

I'm not actively "choosing" to keep my privilege of where I was born, neither are you.

Morally, I don't see why a ten figure bank account makes someone worse than the average person.




"It's physically possible for the planet to support the current population of earth living a first world lifestyle"

I don't think so, the strain on energy would make it impossible to meet those needs.  Could the world function with $500 per barrel oil?  NO.

By physically possible I mean there's no physical law or mathematical constraint preventing that standard of life, in a hypothetical scenario where the price of oil is $500/bl, and everyone is living in first world conditions, I think it would also be fair to assume that the energy grid would be adapted to support alternate sources of energy.

Yeah, he's not thinking outside the bun. We would still have to use some oil petroleum, but not nearly as much.

No, but I'd go on his show and talk about the nature of evil for $100, Alex.

There is no alternative energy today that can do it.  If fusion becomes practical, it might be different, but that could be a hundred years away or more.

A combination of nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, solar and geothermal energy could easily power everything in the world.

We rely on oil for more than most people realize, it's not just a matter of car fuel and electricity. If you look around your house, every object in the room is somehow related to oil in some facet. Cities are built with it. There's literally nothing we do that isn't touched by oil somewhere down the line. Oil is on par with water in it's importance.

A combination of all those different sources of energy has the potential to meet the energy (electricity) demands of the current world many times over. Coal and natural gas account for the majority of energy production anyway, the majority of oil consumed is used in transport applications that require a high energy density fuel - a property not exclusive to petroleum based fuels.

Oil is important, but as a fuel and energy source it's replaceable -- not that the $500/bl example is relevant because energy production is completely scalable.

Sure, oil is important but it's not a limiting factor in societal development because of its abundance. There is enough oil for the population of the world to enjoy a first world lifestyle.
