@RockChartrand Same as mistaking evolution for 'genetic progress'
Adaptive complex system vs some sort of historiograpic march of progress. Capitalism doesn't need growth anymore than evolution needs 'progress'. Eugenicists and socialists need linear descriptions to support their mad beliefs
@DepartureJay@lspear412 Probably remove War and Peace then. There's clearly enough 'what it's like to be alive' to qualify two or three books, but also a huge mass of writing that overlaps with (inspired) Orwell, about the relationship between the individual and the social structure
@DiegoRi00885103@FAHayekSays He doesn't say price determines value. Achievable price reflects the value to the consumer, which informs what the labour is worth.
@stats_feed 1) Stats at the top are wild.
2) I'm not sure you should be allowed to eat something that has a life expectancy multiple times your own.
3) Ref the attack; it's still deciding whether to come round for another go at the fishermen
@DeMalla_85@Heavy_Boab Not claiming to be offended, but words said without control are different to words said with passive aggressive intent. That should be really easy to grasp
@TheMindScourge If we can escape the mad socialist distortion terminology, 'working harder' encompasses 'making the right things'. Every action is an enterprise and every actor an entrepreneur. More; 'Invest your time more wisely', than; 'the state should tell you what to build'
@NaijaMarxist The reflexive sloganeering, without any capacity to apply context to the scenario in hand is classic Marxism. A low-bandwidth religion of prophecies and self-righteous simplifications for any scenario
@K_Niemietz The same people would be stuck campaigning for the right of working class people to go down a coal mine everyday if the decision hasn't been taken from them.
@puncushion@alosthighway0@brian_callaci@sandeepvaheesan Google/grok.. "firm level planning and central planning". Better yet, this book is a really good summary of the debate, which is being childishly misrepresented/misunderstood in the tweet above
