“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
― Anatole France
@alz_zyd_ Nah, art always fights with commodification bcos of that. It is mainly an expression of human experience and shows glimpses of that complexity, it cannot be separated entirely as easily as any other product. Or this is ragebait hahahha
@alz_zyd_ Microdosing for a couple weeks those 40-60 hours courses on youtube while doing some project about it usually does it. But for the love of god, learning something like real analysis outside of a classroom or without peers is way slower and u fuck up worst
@Zombielicorice@alz_zyd_@jmhorp Also, its really hard to say that people getting what they desire is always "good". We have a lot of counter examples!! and we do it all the time in econ. I love this welfare stuff
@Zombielicorice@alz_zyd_@jmhorp ..world. This ontology keeps us on a discussion about free will vs regulation, which already presupposes a definition of freedom and normative statements about desire. The problem is more complex. Neither are regulations bad nor should we take agency from people.
@alz_zyd_@jmhorp I see what u mean, but wouldn't you say its a false dicotomy of free market vs paternalism when we have such a narrow definition of choice and desire? I see your post about the rankings between countries as something more complex than just that discussion.
I think there is a legitimate point here. GDP measures essentially how much dollar value a country creates, and dollar value depends on preferences. Like, a Romanee-Conti would I guess contribute $10k USD to GDP, but is that as "real" as $10k of bread or $10k of guns?
