  • Why Didn’t Adam Smith Believe In The Ideas Of Karl Marx?

    Did someone really ask this question? Really. FWIW, they were both wrong. The labor theory of value is false. Subjective value is true and marginalism has overwhelmingly demonstrated so.

    Smith went to his grave thinking he was right, and he was right on the absurdly irreplacable returns of cooperation. But he was wrong on the labor theory of value.

    Marx went to his grave knowing he was wrong. He read the marginalists and stopped writing. But he couldn’t stop taking income from Engels, so he pretended that he kept working.

    Nothing more came from Marx – because his entire premise was wrong, and history has been unkind to his legacy.

    Didn’t occur to me that Pornhub could serve mainstream content, and compete with google/youtube. I assumed that Drudge, which does not maximize in any way it’s potential to compete with FB, was the only available axis of competition. (Yes I have explored this in depth)

    I lost a good follower today. Because I stated the truth as I understand it. It’s too bad. This will always be a problem. I have no way around it.

    The opposition to fictionalism in education will be met with (and I meet with daily) the same opposition as the transformation from Mythology to History, and Theology to empiricism. I understand that. I understand how badly we cling to the loaded frames of our childhood.

    That places no bearing whatsoever on the value obtained by each prior transformation from intuition and suggestion to calculation and reason.

    Sorry. And history will prove me right.

    Look. As a guy who divorced in no small part because his wife was a hoarder, the reason your house is messy is because you haven’t thrown everything away until it’s not messy any longer.

    So, the Austin Bomber was caught because (a) he sent two packages at the same time from the same location, and (b) that got the authorities his name and address, and (c) he didn’t use a burner phone, so they tracked his gps to the hotel.

    The reason a Kaczynski was durable is patience, and discipline.

    Never buy multiple parts from the same location or at the same time.

    Buy from small shops not big box stores with lots of data collection.

    Always pay cash.

    You only exist when you leave a digital record.

    Without digital technology you are a ghost.

    You can, and we will, as the physical and cognitive sciences progress, understand more about how and why we behave as we do.

    However, you will find nothing that improves on testimonialism and propertarianism in matters of decidability.

    Just as you will find that once we have passed the current state of mathematics (geometries, symmetries and consequential operations), we have completed a cycle of the possible hierarchy and merely repeat the same process again.

    Human existence can be completely decided by acquisitionism, testimonialism, and propertarianism.

    And artificial intelligence will demonstrate it.
