>>1838670>Civilization, as a process, is indistinguishable from diminishing time-preference (or declining concern for the present in comparison to the future). Democracy, which both in theory and evident historical fact accentuates time-preference to the point of convulsive feeding-frenzy, is thus as close to a precise negation of civilization as anything could be.We could stop supplying food to the non developed world and watch our overpopulation and global pollution go away overnight. Just a reminder to all eco authoritarian minded sc/out/ers to read junger, schmitt, fisher, and land to get a holistic overview and good foundation in sovereign/realist theory.
