Early winner 2
Yesterday we were able to give out the 2014 award for the most fantastically idiotic stupid moronic brainless dangerous fatal genocidal piece of so-called alleged accused quote """"science"""" unquote. Now we already have a winner for the most fantastically idiotic stupid moronic brainless dangerous fatal genocidal piece of Gaian doctrine.

Ready? Here goes.

Professor David MacKay, the energy department’s chief scientific adviser, said that electronic equipment and cars should be kept for as long as possible and then disassembled so that components can be recycled.

Householders “buying lots of stuff and then throwing it away” make it “difficult” for ministers to reduce the country’s energy consumption, Prof MacKay said.

This is especially aggravating because MacKay is about 50% right for 100% wrong reasons.

Before 1980, US and UK MADE OUR OWN STUFF and we made it REPAIRABLE. This was a better situation all around. MAKING THINGS is CREATING VALUE, and it was possible to pay a livable wage to the people who MADE THINGS and REPAIRED THINGS.

Now we have stopped MAKING THINGS. We enslave children in Bangladesh to do our making, and we design things for complete disposability. Prices are lower than before and wages here are MUCH lower than before and the badly designed shit has to be tossed quickly. This is good for the Chosen Ones, of course, because it forces non-Chosen people to live by borrowing from Chosen Ones.

We DESPERATELY NEED to return to the pre-1980 condition, but NOT because it would appease Gaia's wrath. We need to return to the pre-1980 condition because it was GOOD FOR OUR OWN FUCKING PEOPLE, especially good for the non-Chosen who have better hand skills than math skills. No amount of STEM training, no amount of "pre-K education", will make the slightest improvement in this basic pattern. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT, and the DUTY OF A FUCKING NATION is to provide USEFUL EMPLOYMENT for the GREATEST FUCKING NUMBER of those people.

Blessings to the Telegraph commenters, as always. They have exploded High Priest MacKay's genocidal poison from every possible angle, including one big point I hadn't thought of. A large part of outsourcing and disposability was forced by MacKay's own Gaian genocide. Superfund lawsuits, EPA emission laws, "Endangered" "Species" "Laws" and brownfield laws smashed US factories. Anti-Freon laws and sealed emission systems on cars made repair impossible.
