It's actually really simple. An ability to see the world accurately was never a necessary condition for survival, so long as the model in your head was good enough to assure you could eat and reproduce. People walk around with false st

See my above reply to dragonwriter. You're right, of MV = PT they have only manipulated the M (Money supply) so far. But unless this destructive dogma and school of thought is put to an end they will begin to institute velocity efforts

Their job is to act a lender of last resort, not to centrally plan the economy despite what you think. They have as of only past couple decades taken on the latter role of central planning. MV=PT What you see above is central basis by which

Um, please do not confuse economic growth with volatility. We've had enormous volatility, especially in forex and debt markets.

Too many assumptions about my opinions being made from my statement (which I agree I didn't substantiate). I'm making a more broad critique of fed. We should have a federal reserve, but one who doesn't engage in central plann

And our current status quo of rampant and reckless monetarism is what causes such severe crashes and volatility. (Not necessarily advocating getting rid of fdic) It's also far less preposterous when you read the next sentence where he

Might want to consider the wikileaks revelation of clinton campaign coordinating and paying protesters to start violence at his rallys. Trump is an exceptionally flawed candidate, but I encourage everyone to consider that perhaps their perc

I remember as far back as 2012 seeing Gawker articles and truly feeling ashamed for humanity. You had these pompous writers completely mocking and attempting to knock down elon musk as some insane fool for his recent release of the hyperloo

The reason why this is garbage, is that there is not a single naturally occurring domain in society in which groups can be found to be represented equally. I'm pretty sure this is true in nature as well. So one can literally at their s

Systemic barriers like constant reinforcement from the media of the idea that woman and minorities face system barriers to doing what they want in life, so they never try and instead become embittered by this dogma?

One of my favorite quotes I think is relevant to this whole business of capitalism as good/bad/whatever: "Capitalism is not a system, it's a word invented by some 19th century hipster to describe a situation where people

Yeah I do, but I'm mostly meaning to point out the epistemological issues with conversations around fairness and to state that to me, proportionatity is the only thing that most resembles fairness
