How the fuck can people have scores like -9, 9 without wanting to kill themselves and/or move to North Korea.

Re: BOS political compass scatterplot

I most certainly did enjoy it. I also enjoy drinking, adventure sports, sex and all manner of other risky pursuits which activate the pleasure receptors of my brain. I find it offensive that you would presume to know what I think or how I feel, all the more so because your conclusions are merely a paternalistic projection of your own thougts and feelings.

One size does not fit all and you are all the more misguided for thinking that your size fits all.



So what you are saying is that as a society we have already tried the social and economic central planning which you advocate but have abandoned it because it didn't work?

Alcohol, adventure sports and sex do induce positive reactions, tobacco does not you were doing nothing more than fulfilling an addiction.

No that is not what I said perhaps when seeing as you fully understood already you could dispense with the dodgy paraphrasing.

surely fulfilling an addiction and enjoying yourself aren't mutually exclusive...?

Re: BOS political compass scatterplot

kfunk you fucking socialist. wtf is with that. embrace freedom bro.

Obviously I dig social freedom. On the economy: (1) I am yet to come across a convincing argument for the universal efficiency of free markets (and I am tempted to say that much economic theorising boils down to aesthetics and power games) and (2) I value broad social outcomes above economic indicators.

You are yet to come across a convincing argument for free market economics? that's pretty much all you learn at introductory level, how good that shit is.

Aye, but basic economics at university is riddled with assumptions which are hard to maintain both empirically and philosophically: rationality, (near) perfect knowledge, fixed equilibrium, path independent outcomes, etc = bogus science (versus irrationality, uncertainty, multiple shifting equilibria with path dependency and a touch of chaos).

correct, but even at intermediate level most theory is undermined by some ridiculous and perfectly rational assumptions. Whilst it may not be real world practical, it still allows for some interesting insights into how the free market, is the best allocator of goods and services. Much of this philosophical theory explains the patterns and flows of of much financial investment/ and trade of G and S from the 80's onwards, which has in turn, led to a greater world economic system in which the majority have benefited greatly.
