@draccoops @StefanFSchubert @freddiesayers @unherd What is the point of sociology when humans already had philosophy, historiography and literature? Social sciences are really unnecessary sources of knowledge.

@an80401 @StefanFSchubert I think Europe cares more about environment first than beauty.

@JesusFerna7026 Monetary policy is largely irrelevant just like policy is largely irrelevant. It's just empty paperwork.

@wostok_CLF @dlondonwortel I've seen that in person, felt it was just looking too rich or not big enough for this many ornamentations.

@whyvert West Europeans don't pursue innovations too much - this is why they print money to save big banks.

"In the cold climate of technology, the last biological reserves freeze. The natural energies of reproduction and growth become exhausted. Thus, it is nature that avenges itself: it punishes this violation, that technology committed against it, by suicide. Technology celebrates its victories among heaps of corpses - until one day with it will choke under their weight."

- Ernst Niekisch, Technology the Devourer of Men , 1931

@LarryChappGS22 Kwasniewski and people like him simply intellectualize religion and don't see the problem of disenchantment, so they attribute way too much weight to teaching. Already Socrates knew you can't teach anybody anything. Teaching is overrated.

@StefanFSchubert economic history doesn't lend itself to quantification, this is the entire reason why Phillips curve failed.

@StefanFSchubert you find external threats in order to distract from internal politics.

@StefanFSchubert Inequality reinforces each other lol.

@aaron_renn this is a matter of proportions, not the rule.

[Mad Demon @ChineseDruid]

@georgeregnery @aaron_renn We want to control forces of nature through science, human behaviour through psychiatry, neurosciences but we can't control prices all of a sudden? Mby economists are just silly people.

[Mad Demon @ChineseDruid]

@crimsonace @aaron_renn Price controls are normal for options contracts or business negotiations.

[Mad Demon @ChineseDruid]

@aaron_renn Liberals support competition in the market, they also support confrontation.

@RyanHaecker How do u combine that with comment from Aristotle that nobody can have truth in its fullest scope?

[Mad Demon @ChineseDruid]

@StefanFSchubert logistical problems are cultural problems. If you had a logistical problem is because you didn't need it solved due to cultural expectations.

@L0m3z Fun fact: 80 % of world trade happens through seas and oceans, not through air travel :^) so you're reaaaalllly underestimating world economy.

@suzania Seems to me the whole talk about hereditary aristocracy is pointless as long as there is hereditary money.

@StefanFSchubert If they are disallowed, then mby this influence is not outsized.
