To recap from before, I provided in this thread a List derived from Logic that reveals to us a startling truth:Nations NOT Destined for the Turbomegadeath posted:1. Republic of Cuba I made this list after disabling my biases and preconceptions and it is therefore Truth. And we see from it that nations that reject the Church of Property Rights's teachings of Capitalism are far less likely to experience Turbomegadeath. I would like to make my closing remark for this thread that I believe we have answered the question posited in the OP; we should care about the Church of Property Rights, because our lives and the lives of everyone we care about depends on us crushing this doomsday cult, and defeating their teachings, before they bring the Turbomegadeath down upon us. I thank you all for your participation in this thread, and to Jrod I say I look forward to your next theological debate (although I don't know if D&D is the best place for a theology debate?).

Someday JRod will return to us, and someday we will find an honest libertarian. They will not be the same day.

Anyway, for my last post in the thread before it closes, I'd like to point out that we did actually make progress on one front: Jrod finally was forced to weigh in on the watermelon issue, all questions about which he had previously dodged. As libertarian threads go, that makes this one a resounding success, and we should all be proud we contributed to it.

Yeah, if there's one thing I'd say, it's that I hope people keep demolishing jrod - not only for the vicious enjoyment of it, but because we tend to learn a lot when people with solid knowledge and background on subjects drop truth bombs on his drivel.

Hahaha what, he must think unfalsifiability is the mark of a strong claim. Because it looks like it is, if you don't know science or reading. Ah, Praxeology. Simple rules for a simple mind.

Such “studies”, if they are truly to be taken seriously as dispassionate research into labor markets and not political advocacy masquerading as science, are deeply called into question when one further examines the literature. *the thread does so* jrodefeld posted:I think this is a good time to talk about the limits of empirical studies when looking at social phenomenon. Empiricism in the hard sciences is pretty straightforward because studies can be conducted with great specificity and are easily reproducible by other scientists. In contrast, human behavior in a complex economy is much more difficult to evaluate purely on an empirical basis. I've studied this issue for a while, and what has come up again and again is an empirical economist releases a paper that purports to prove a specific assertion, and then subsequent economists find it impossible to reproduce the results found because they cannot isolate the variables with regards to human action in a complex environment. Studies can demonstrate that I am right, but if it turns out they disagree with my predictions then they were worthless all along. This is what happens when you turn cognitive bias into an entire epistemology.
