Essentially, they have problems distinguishing between the descriptive and the prescriptive, to borrow some linguistics terminology.
fact they are just describing the world as it is. They prefer to describe the world as the *want* it to be as though their words somehow have power in the face of a contravening reality. /2
I was thinking about exactly that in the shower yesterday: Marxists mistake the observations of people who disagree with them as meaning the latter *wants* the world to be that way when in /1
My wife doesn't work, LR. You can't explain that.
If capitalism is racist, etc. then so is reality and the whole Marxist lexicon is useless.
Yep, that's why the correct response to whining that capitalism is racist, sexist, whatever, is... SO WHAT!?
I mean when productivity, etc. are correlated with race, gender, etc. Then you get SJW whining that capitalism is raycis, muh soggy knees, etc.
Yeah, it is funny how that works out.
But @ex, what happens when results are correlated with any of the above. For an SJW that is no bueno.
That's the thing I like about materialist / nihilistic leftists, they are never eager to reproduce by themselves.
You don't see it because you are too young or immature. One day if you ever have the chance to have children of your own, you will see what I see. The whiny-ness, the lack of emotional control.
You cannot have entered the real world with such an attitude, I refuse to believe such stunted growth is possible.
Hey LR... what is your profession? :^) How old are you really?
I met Bezos a long time ago when Amazon was still small and people called him a failure. He was a nice guy. Y u so jelly?
The only hell is the one you've made for yourself by being so consumed with envy and hate, commie scum.
Anyway, I gotta get back to work, ladies and gentlemen. Finally gonna get some vacation time tomorrow!
Last time I took 5g of shrooms I saw lots of interconnectedness...
@sun, what do you mean by truly connected? Are we not all connected now? @ex, yeah LR does not understand basic biology.
Wants are unlimited so there is no such thing as "enough for everyone," next question.
Many of the best-conserved and taken care of swaths of land are privately owned. Strict and efficient property rights enforcement is a massive force for conservation of natural beauty.
@yoonski, LR wants to abolish all money, lol
There are always going to be externalities, nobody is arguing otherwise. The question is the opportunity cost of obsessively trying to stomp them all out.
There is no perfect solution to that either ;) Markets are efficient, not perfect. I would argue that one problem is much bigger than the other.
@sun, you might as well say, "as long as oxygen still exists." How do you abolish money?
@yoonski, so you have solved the economic calculation problem then?
