  1. i find it absolutely bewildering that people can imagine pretty much anything being robotic except food production................. why the fuck haven't we created automated vertical farms throughout every major city yet?

  2. you don't need a job if you have a roof over your head and food on the table... in fact, those can be jobs. out of work? go out and build yourself a house and a garden.

  3. Morph Verse everybody having food > farmers (or anybody else for that matter) having a job lol they're already doing this in (iirc) singapore. there are also automated (not really vertical) "farms" back east in canada. but all of this is financially driven :/

  4. +adub4ever i got my fingers crossed and i've had them crossed for the last 10 years. we have the technology to automate pretty much anything, including food production.

  5. Zachary Mahmood it's not even that they're afraid. i think it's an issue of disinterest and or comfort more so than anything else. well, that and the fact that so many are already so invest in the status quo.

  6. NotAsian they're not more expensive, especially if you were to retrofit an older building rather than build a new one. if you were to build a new one, of course that would be by far the greatest cost, but you'd only have to pay that cost once. likewise, the vertical farms can be and are built in such a way as to recycle resources so there is far less waste. it's beyond obvious that you're ignorant. keep your ignorance to yourself, you selfish idiot.

  7. NotAsian no need for it? the fact that canada has the 11th largest economy and tolerates a child poverty rate of 14.4%. the fact that out of 35 million 4.65 million canadians are living on average one third below the poverty line... the fact that we spend much more on servicing the debt each year than what is allotted in the budget to "invest" in the country itself. and i could go on. please keep your ignorance to yourself.

  9. NotAsian i stopped taking you seriously a long time ago. too bad your memory's as worse as if not more than your intelligence, as the first one to start making claims was you. oh, but i forgot that you backed up your absurd assertions with a wikipedia article that sources some of its content from youtube videos. hahahaha you're soooo stupid and it's hilarious because you think you're smart

  10. NotAsian i never specified, yet was never talking about such efforts being commercial or even entirely commercial. our conversation began when you claimed that there is no need for automated, vertical farms.

  11. NotAsian yeah, but i'm only trolling you because you're making ridiculous comments. the bank of canada could be financing all of this virtually interest free, creating jobs in the process, while reducing expenses for canadians in the process. vertical farms can be and are extremely energy efficient when compared to traditional farming because water and other resources are recycled.

  12. NotAsian i challenge you to do the same, and don't rely solely on wikipedia articles this time around.

  13. NotAsian why do you pretend to know what you're talking about? xD

  14. NotAsian i think you mean pretense. i likewise foster the same philosophy, hence your comments undoubtedly appear as a pretense.

  15. NotAsian You should read a book on critical thinking. Heres one https://www.amazon.com.au/How-Think-Clearly-Critical-Thinking-ebook/dp/B0093KWBAA

  16. NotAsian well, it obviously didn't work. i wonder why... you should go read a different book on thinking critically and then reanalyze my long comment. your interpretation of the arguments that you believe i'm making is dumbfoundingly way out in left field.

  17. NotAsian you've never once asked me what my position was. in fact, i don't believe you've asked a single question. this entire time you've just been assuming everything. you didn't want to have a conversation. you simply wanted to share and spread your own ignorance.
