Capitalism is peak eugenics.

2019-02-14 18:17:41 UTC  

wrong

2019-02-14 18:18:02 UTC  

while i admit, i LOLed at that... i still don't think we really have enough research to prove that eugenics is really a thing.

i'm all for children all growing up in a loving environment which encourages education and hard work. If we study multiple 'races' with these same environments, we'd have better data.

2019-02-14 18:18:07 UTC  

It encourages genetic defectives who are immoral to gain more money. People who are evil who break or bend laws and cut corners manage to grab more wealth.

2019-02-14 18:18:24 UTC  

@Aero homogeneity is non negotiable

2019-02-14 18:18:45 UTC  

being 'evil' is subjective and changes with the times.

2019-02-14 18:19:07 UTC  

subjectivity doesn't exist, what exists is a gradation of understanding of truth

2019-02-14 18:19:26 UTC  

? O.o truth changes from person to person. facts do not

2019-02-14 18:19:28 UTC  

to state universally all things are subjective perception is invoking a transcendental in universal truth

2019-02-14 18:19:37 UTC  

You're off your rocker mate.

2019-02-14 18:19:40 UTC  

for example if I say "there is no truth" that is a truth claim

2019-02-14 18:19:54 UTC  

no I am just smarter than you, so you are confused

2019-02-14 18:20:01 UTC  

Value is subjective, bruh.

2019-02-14 18:20:21 UTC  

wrong, value in economics I would say is based on something tangible and real, production as a process

2019-02-14 18:20:38 UTC  

hence why I think currency should be based on production function, it's not so different from Smith's labor as value theory

2019-02-14 18:20:42 UTC  

There are no utils.

2019-02-14 18:21:33 UTC  

i'd like to make this clear on economics: economists are essentially the modern-day alchemists. they "know" nothing for a fact. if they claim to, they are either delusional, or lying. they are fortune tellers who shout out when they are right and gloss over anything they are wrong about.

2019-02-14 18:21:59 UTC  

well, a lot of modern economics is based on theoretical speculation and math autism, but there's certain aspects to it which are real

2019-02-14 18:22:00 UTC  
2019-02-14 18:22:10 UTC  

production is a tangible real thing

2019-02-14 18:22:26 UTC  

yes, there is a real backbone to economics, but most of that is just the basics.

2019-02-14 18:22:47 UTC  

the basics are more salient as you get to the higher levels ironically

Value depends on purpose. Purpose depends on the individual. Collective consciousness is a spook.

2019-02-14 18:23:21 UTC  

i'd classify production part of the basics. but keep in mind, humans have a social aspect to them. homogeneity may make things easier, but will almost certainly not make things better.

2019-02-14 18:23:22 UTC  

individualism is a spook propagated by jewish intellectuals

2019-02-14 18:24:01 UTC  

Hitler was a Jew

2019-02-14 18:24:05 UTC  

@Aero I would argue economics is itself a branch of moral philosophy

2019-02-14 18:24:17 UTC  

the problem is capitalists are amoral or immoral

2019-02-14 18:24:27 UTC  

Science is amoral.

2019-02-14 18:24:39 UTC  

yes, which is the problem, there is no ascendancy principle

2019-02-14 18:25:00 UTC  

simply finding shit out is retarded because certain paths diverge into dangerous technologies which can end civilization (ai as example)

2019-02-14 18:25:22 UTC  

btw regulating technologies like nanotech, ai etc will require dictatorship or absolute monarchy

2019-02-14 18:25:35 UTC  

so either way we are necessary to the current structure and tech of society

2019-02-14 18:27:11 UTC  

Honestly can't tell if you're shitposting.

2019-02-14 18:27:26 UTC  

I'd have to get more into moral philosophy myself, but reading some chinese literature makes me think that there is no truly moral way of thinking that will not change in the future.

2019-02-14 18:28:04 UTC  

There is, it's called traditional Christianity in league with an authoritarian state.

2019-02-14 18:28:13 UTC  

Blasphemy.

2019-02-14 18:28:15 UTC  

I'm not shitposting. I reject all modern liberal ideas.

2019-02-14 18:28:28 UTC  

I genuinely think that enlightenment was the worst thing to happen to Europe.
