I was listening to Dave Collum the other day, and dude makes a self-evident point:
The definition of a Ponzi Scheme, requires attracting new people into the scheme to keep it going.
We think about it in terms of a financial scheme, but if you think about it in terms of the endless immigration invasion going on, it's apparent, that it's a ponzi, by definition.
On logical grounds, this is a great takedown on the immigration debate, and we should stop immediately, because in the long term, theres absolutely no winning outcome given current population growth trends. Growing the population ponzi through immigration only guarantees a larger crash.
🧠
All current debt based monetary financial systems are a ponzi schemes, thus so are the economies built on top of them, which by themselves require a certain kind of population pyramid exponential growth (not just population growth ).
The direction of causation is reversed to what you think and populatiom growth by itself is not enough, it needs to be certain kind of population dependency ratio (hence pyramid ) growth.
If the primary driver was simply population size, and not the debt based monetary system , then purely available resources would self limit population max size and growth delta, regardless of economics. And size self limiting systems are not ponzis (feedback is negative, not positive ). Now the requirements of the actual growth driver (debt based money economics) try to remove the resource constraints on the population. Economics drives the population growth , not the other way around.
Collum is usually on the money, but here he has forgotten basic population dynamics biology.
Think it through before answering , it is pretty clear.
