      @nntaleb recognized that Marx was original: "The 4 most influential moderns: Darwin, Marx, Freud, and Einstein were scholars, not academics. It has always been hard to do genuine work within institutions." But remember not all original thinkers are correct or good.

      When Marxists critique capitalism, they are criticizing consumerism and inequality, which are amplified through fiat and credit. Fair enough. But they fail to understand the mechanisms of sound money that can regulate levels of consumerism and inequality.

      Labor theory of value is nonsense. Value is determined by a consensus network of reciprocal exchange. The underlying logic of money markets is mimetic. Marxists are materialist essentialists who fail to comprehend the mimetic nature of our desires.

      In my opinion, value combines two different things: 1/ work exchange (money given for your work, money as purchase power, as a mean to buy others work) AND 2/ the law of supply and demand, where, truly, imitation and conflict cans deeply modify value.

      There's something here that I've the trouble finding the words for. I think you're mostly right. Question is what is this work you're doing creating? If you're producing a good that's high on Maslow's Hierarchy, then it's still mimetic desire at the root.

      I think there is a confusion even here. Work is done toward a goal. A goal in itself has a value determined by market. There are various means to that end. The effectiveness of those means is valued by markets. The ends are Mimetic, the means perhaps not, tho they spread thus.

      Work's value doesn't completely depend on markets: you can work for yourself, it's work, it has value, it builds something, but it's not saled. You can also barter. In common experience, many goals of work are no choice goals: needs first and then some mimetic pleasures.

      Even in a market of 1 it is still a market. Barter is still markets. But I am still not sure of that. The Bible speaks of goals aiming toward security are come not from God but from anxiety and lack of trust in God. Is not Manna a sign that desire for food is Mimetic?

      Needs are modified by desire but are also independant: eating is a need but eating this or that can come from desire. We underestimated mimetic desire, we must now avoid to overestimate it. It doesn't explain everything.

      Needs are real, but I wonder if not the search to fulfil those needs comes from a desire for security rather than a need fulfillment. It seems natural to not desire needs to be fulfilled but to simply fulfil them. When food is scarce (always artificially) is when desire enters.

          Reminds me of the proverb, lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. It seems that being poor, while not in itself sinful, increases this sinful desire for security. Just as richness increases desire for self-sufficiency before god.

          "Ahimsa" is a buddhist name but I see you're more christian than I am. I believed for many years but now I don't. I still appreciate the moral aspects, the wisdom, of christianity but a loving God in Creation, that's what I can't "see". I see the opposite: a cruel Creation.

          Cruel creation was the lesson in Job. Even the good man suffers. Dostoevsky, who we know is religious, offers the solution of being the optimistic comedic fool.

          🙂 I stop there. Big heat where I live. And I have to traduce, verify: difficult task. I just wanted to talk about value: work + offer/demand, not only offer/demand (where mimetic theory is efficient and useful)

          The search to fulfill needs is a desire to me because needs fulfilled is dignity. When you lack of money you are constantly living humiliating experiences (being unable to pay this or that to your family, friends and so on).

          The Bible seems to imply that while this might be a sin of Pride (if God wants you to starve to death, who are you to complain? Harsh but Qoheleth may agree), primarily it is a condemnation of those in power responsible for the withholding of dignity through extortion.

          When food is scarce, rivalry comes but also hunger, which is not desire. I think desire comes when food is abundant: snobbery time, rivalries for fashionable peanuts. 🧐🙂

          Yes, but I see all scarcity of food (famine) as political. So to me it is sinful extortion by principalities and powers that forces humiliation and poverty upon the people and prophets. Yet this is not reason to drop ones faith in God and turn to appease Pharaoh for sustenance.
