hey guys, economics as the study of cause and effect in the production, allocation and consumption of real resources can't explain god or heaven. oh wait, it can (try to) you're attacking a strawman of what the economic mode of thinking is. 1) no one is saying some decisions aren't...

dogg you need to learn what cartesian doubt is

2) you didn't make a rational argument, you made an essentially unknowable claim. you also need to calm down though bro. i know what logic is, and it could equally be applied to refute or confirm your original claim (that output in the towniverse would be lower than the ozkoverse) 4) i never...

how long until people abandon their expensive carbon-based lifeform and ascend to silicon

i never said all 'elements are economical.' my point is that they're inextricably intertwined. wherever you are in space and time has everything to do with the processes of production and distribution that you and others had participated in before that very moment. society and economy are not...

1) congrats on working at the abs and measuring the economy 2) that is a counterfactual claim. you have no idea whether economic output would be lower or higher in the townieverse or the ozkoverse. 3) yes, scientists use ideas. excellent point. 4) your decision to hug your friend was an...

ok

the economy is not an idea. it is not run on ideas, nor is it populated by ideas. the study of the economy is a science, therefore the attempt to describe an underlying reality where, for instance, wage negotiation at the individual level may not be optimal. as a result, bouncing nice ideas...

you missed my point, which was that the issues are more complicated than bouncing deduced and reduced arguments in favour of x position off of eachother. i have no problem with debate, except when its like that. ozko is reading like the first chapter of a particularly bad microeconomics...

Re: The Thread that never Ends this thread went full retard. unions aren't the problem. countries like germany, finland and other scandinavian coutnries, france, and japan get along fine with tripartite employment negotiations. being a uni student who has done intermediate microeconomics...

sorry absolutezero i'll try and be a bit more incisive how many times in high school did anyone read any of hitler's personal communiques? i never learned about hitler, the mensch, in high school. we're never really given an opportunity to understand what the fuck was going on. i wonder how...

you seem to have forgotten that the bildergerinatti won't allow this to happen. remember JFK? LINCOLN? HAROLD HOLT?

No, that's stupid.

i am convinced that dog is synonymous with cat. neither believe in god. obviously this is an absurd thing to say - that isn't what separates a dog from a cat, now is it? the agnostic position is that the existence of god is unknowable. it therefore concerns knowledge. atheism is the lack of...

you'll never take me alive

sorry i used some big words arranged in a fashion that you don't understand. i'll break it down for you. you are expressing epistemological nihilism. you deny that meaning of scientific knowledge could be qualitatively different or superior to that of any other, because you claim the tools we...

first of all, your epistemological nihilism is fucking childish, and it blows my mind that somehow you consequently justify some arbitrary religious code (unless you are a deist) which is quite clearly a non-sequitor. how ironically Nietzschean second of all, your misuse of language is tiring...
