1- teach people an economic orthodoxy
2-structure the whole society to maintain the orthodoxy
3-people who works in statistics have the incentive to maintain the orthodoxy to keep their job
4-people tweek the numbers to reaffirm the idea
5-repeat steps 50 times
6-The data is now off, but there are no alternatives but to keep doing the same as the orthodoxy have become a reality and any change can destroy the cycle
But you see, Marxism is a dogmatic religion!
4-people tweek the numbers to reaffirm the idea
This is also the step before the first. The entire foundation of neoliberal economics is literally built on “well, uh, the real numbers didn’t make the model work so I made up these fake numbers that made it look nice, at least. Don’t worry, they’re intuitively correct!” and pure vibes.
Yeah its very funny to get lectured about the '“cost” of things from people who base their entire discipline on not factoring in environmental externalities while staring at an undeniable climate catastrophe
Which gets jokerfying when I remember they stuck us with the bill for fixing it so they didn’t actually make any money they just socially engineered a system where they got to live like kings before the ticket hit the register.
The “dining and ditching” school of economics lecturing us about how we’re a bunch of idealist dreamers. Motherfuckers.
Looking forward to the Onion running this headline once a month for the next decade.
🤣
Are they saying they’re losing track of data so that’s why they don’t know what’s going on?
babel falls
meek will inherit the earththe enemies will go down again on April 26th. along with the other event that I had specified
not even the slightest harm will befall those who I have specified
It will end in may–in a good way
The Tower of Babel is such a wild story, lol. God deciding to divide people and turn them against each other because their dope-ass tower threatened his brittle ego.
