      Covfefe Anon Retweeted ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs

      Good breakdown of some sloppy thinking / phrasing in the tweet he's retweeting but there's another level. Initial tweet - "Capitalist conspiracy to push bad food b/c sick / fat is more profitable" Morlock's response - "This can be explained in terms of individual incentives" 1/xhttps://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1222160248552726528 …

      Next level is that there are factors that really *can't* be explained in terms of individual incentives Why did AHA push low fat / high carb? Why did all of USG do so? The original tweet claims the solution to this riddle is coordination for the profit of pharma / fast food 2/x

      The original tweet's explanation at least it notices that there's some bit that needs explaining beyond what individual incentives explains. Unfortunately the original tweet is basically "folk Marxism" and hence wrong because based on a wrong model. 3/x

      The Marxist bit is the belief that coordination can happen to drive a social outcome where everyone involved works on behalf of a nebulous "capitalist class" when this is flatly impossible because that type of coordination can't happen - merchants don't cooperate like that 4/x

      Merchants constantly undercut each other and "defect" on each other by competing in a market but ideologues - priests, on the other hand, do cooperate like that. People driven by ideology can and do cooperate to push social changes. 5/6

      So USG pushes high carb / low fat specifically because it's bad for you because it also makes men less masculine. IOW, it's an example of the Stonetoss comic and not strictly a market outcome but the mistake is identifying it as being done for profit. 6/6pic.twitter.com/mHydA7bkG2
