There's the irony.
Here's one example where mainstream politically "conservative" is in my mind radical and ridiculous (worthy of ridicule).
Perpetual economic growth, population growth, whatever growth you want to consider at a rate of 3 percent. You hear that number all the time as being a "conservative" target.
Compound 3 percent for 100 years you get a multiple of 19 times the original figure. 200 years you get a multiple of 369!
Australia's population of 20 million and increasing World population of 6 billion and increasing An economic model that requires perpetual growth to be healthy. And it's considered radical to question these "conservative" political and economic axioms.
Ok back to the main topic please.
