Nope I reject your assumption that it is impossible that there isn’t enough to go around, when it is obvious there is no reason it could not.

Ridiculous. As in the fact that the very elite you’re referencing, own the platform you’re using. You’re a bought-and-paid-for plant. You have nothing of any worth or merit to say in that ridiculous, sing-song, hypnotic, hypocrite voice of yours. Be gone with you.

I get so tired of politics on TED. Everyone is trying to tell everyone else how to think. I could turn in a circle and throw a rock and I would hit someone with strong opinions on what my opinion should be. TED was for geeks. If TED stops being TED who will be TED? Don’t be like the crowd. There was plenty of them and only one you.

Her premise is wrong, no one is expensed when some people spend their own money.
Her collective imagination is meaningless.
Her proposed utopia is possible with a free market revolution.

If you live in a democratic society, you can build the kind of society you want. If you can’t, you don’t live in a democratic society. If you don’t live in a democratic society, you can do whatever you want to the ruling class, as their power over you is illegitimate.
