The desire to grow to infinity upon one finite planet is expressed daily on every forum that can be found by doltish people afflicted with insatiable want.

If you wish to have serious discussions, you better go somewhere else.
Stop ruining it for people with your truths, you inconsiderate socialist!
See? This is why it's important to know one's Cultural History.

The character of the overwhelming majority of the people are marred by a strange mix of anarchy and autism, chaos and corruption.
Now, that is not to say there won't be development. But it will come from the same place it always comes from, Western Europe and North America, and possibly Asia.
Obviously. just look at Puerto Madera in Bueno Aires, for example.
Lots of US companies there.
Plus, there's Argentina.
Though there are a number of individuals and some companies, big and small, that show promise, overall they are a doomed people. Mostly for reasons psychological and emotional. They call it histerica, but the clinical term is Narcissistic Perssonality Disorder or NPD. It's distinguishing features are a lack of empathy and inability to process shame. They are a shameless people, which means they have no humility, in spite of the many reasons for them to be very humble indeed. And this more than suggests a lack of common sense, or, bluntly, an inability to accept unpleasant facts.
In short, they've rejected reality.
They like to brag about rejecting Americans and in some cases the British (as if the Argentinians are intellectually and morally superior both - in spite all of the evidence to the contrary). But the fact is, they have rejected themselves, as has much of LatAm.
Because they lack self-reflection they are incapble of learning, and growth. So how are they going to change?
They're lack of self-reflection leaves them defenseless against shamelessness, which leaves them defenseless against their arrogance, which leaves them totally defenseless against their stupidity.
So you have a large group of people who are arrogant, stupid, and incapable of change, and compulsively (all compulsivity is rooted in shame btw) project their disowned parts on to everyone else. “Develop”! How?
Individuals from LatAm, Yes!
All of LA? No!

Apr 12th, 2013 - 07:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Very true, we are in for a new kind of economic model if we care about the future I find both socialist and capitalist models as not enough for the neccesities of today. Grow without end isn´t physically, naturally or economically sustainable and complete statization alone can´t sustain populations for a long time if we consider past and present evidence.
