I was incited to re-read Steve Keen's "Debunking Economics", so this thread gets to benefit  ...         I think that's long (and absurd) enough for one post, but I shall continue on if there is interest. one remark I will add is that since "utils" never hit zero nor negative, then this "rational actor" will always purchase more and more goods, as long as their income allows them to. It's never considered that people would ever want to stop consuming. The entire theory rests on Number Go Up.

Watching people getting on stage hyping up their friends is a lot more wholesome than a ton of other lovely things you could be watching. yeah i go to a comedy club once a month for a dating show and it's a blast

Pulcinella posted:I do wonder at what point do the different parts of capital start trying to parasitize eachother. I'm sure insurance companies, hospital admins, and the AMA would hate it, but at what point does e.g.Walmart and Disney sit down with McConnel and say that if they want to extract more surplus value out of labor then healthcare costs need to fall. With the end result being we get a lovely form of universal healthcare. Same thing with housing and rent. the c-suite of the latter also sit on the c-suite of the former or are friends who sit on the c-suite of the FIRE sector maybe if natural death takes enough of the current generation and its heirs maybe there'll be a shift but it'll be because the empire is shrunk to morgenthau europe and canada at that point

Seeing others get bullied and attacked on the freeway on the way to work and wondering when I'll be next is great for my mental health.

gradenko_2000 posted:Number Go Up. I remember in my microeconomics 101 class, like day one, the dude got up there and asked, "What is the equation of happiness?" He drew # of wants fulfilled divided by # of wants. He then said something like, "no matter how many wants are fulfilled, you will be unhappy, but this drives everything" in hindsight, dude was pretty strait with it

no lube so what posted:I remember in my microeconomics 101 class, like day one, the dude got up there and asked, "What is the equation of happiness?" He drew # of wants fulfilled divided by # of wants. He was wrong, mostly as long as most people have their needs for food and housing fulfilled they will find other needs to chase but those other needs aren't as important as food and housing I can chase my desire to fulfill my need for lovely Japanese cartoons for the rest of my life and still be happy on some level as long as my needs for food and housing are fulfilled We're doing a great job at fulfilling the need for lovely Japanese cartoons. The food and housing needs, not so much
