Oh yeah, polio wasnt eradicated until decades after a cure was found. Same with smallpox. We can treat hunger but millions starve. We can cure many diseases but they still ravage humanity.Redspector wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 2:39 amHmm. These have existed for years and have seen barely any growth in usage. Its not like you see this in India or Iran where need is greatest for new water. Copyright laws also prevent good technologies from being accesible to others.funkervogt wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 11:19 pm Redspector, do you know about "toilet to tap" systems? Countries in the Global South could put them to use at affordable cost now, using existing technology.
Governments that are dictatorship of the bougeoise dont care about their citizens wellbeing anyways. America doesnt care about americans. If they dif they would have a nationalized healthcare system rather than spending a average of 7k a year for insurance. Most global south countries will continue to hold capital in elite hands and not waste the effort to help their citizens beyond meeger token help.
This whole idea that because technology exists that humanity will use it ignores so many other factors.
Some other examples of technologies existing not equalling proper utilization
