    You can simplify where you can, but as technology advances it gets more complex to manufacture

    And according to you, socialism is necessary for further technological advances. Why? How come we managed to have technological advances without socialism for 99% of human history?

    As for quality of life metrics, things like literacy rates and life expectancies, home ownership and mortality rates

    So as I said, arbitrary bs socialists deem important.

    The Catholic Church should not determine this as they do not base their beliefs in known material reality.

    I understand that you have different gods. Catholics have Jesus and socialists have material reality. But that’s just your opinion, man.

    I am fairly certain that you’re a troll, though, so I don’t see much point in continuing this.

    Sorry for not accepting socialist dogmas unquestionably.

    You’re trying to make an argument for solipsism, and against science

    1. No, I don’t. I’d actually call myself a primitive realist.
    2. Science and solipsism is not a dichotomy.

    If you truly believed this, then you’d have no problem walking in front of an oncoming truck, as it may as well not be “real,”

    Believed what? At what point in our conversation did I state my beliefs?

    Instead, we can know the real world through testing and confirming material reality

    Maybe stop spawning unnecessary entities? Here you say there’s real world and then there’s material reality. Wtf are those and what’s the difference between them? Are there other worlds? Are there other realities? Just stop for a second and try to comprehend what you’re writing.

    What’s a complexity of production? Why do we want to progress in complexity of production? Shouldn’t we be trying to reduce complexity? And who defines the “key quality of life metrics”? If socialists define those, then surely socialism is necessary to improve those metrics. But I guess different people can have different metrics. Catholic Church, for example, may take the percentage of people going to heaven after death as a key quality of life metric. In this case, socialism would be absolutely devastating for quality of life.
