I've diagnosed why there exists Marxists in the West, a thread: They tend to study liberal arts and suck at math, but this is only possible because of sound money giving them the low time preference allowing them to work on art and literary criticism.https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/1015388012975394817 …

When people go study liberal arts, they get Marxist professors. And they are brilliant at what they do. They can sound clever and insightful when analyzing art and literature. Due to halo effect, students assume that they also know what they are talking about in economics.

Studying liberal arts requires a holistic rather than decoupled state of mind. When you combine this with having a Marxist professor, then when your tool is a sickle&hammer, every problem looks like a nail.https://everythingstudies.com/2018/04/26/a-deep-dive-into-the-harris-klein-controversy/ …

This leads to magical thinking regarding social problems. Liberal arts students are explorers, while STEM students are verifiers. When you explore without rigorous verification, you can fall into magical thinking.https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/1013602116529729537 …

Marxism is simply a mindset where you think money works like magic. It's the cargo cult approach to economics. Magical thinkers who haven't done sufficient verification and decoupling fall for it.https://twitter.com/MimeticValue/status/1015394199934521345 …

Magical thinkers are optimists who believe that their magic can solve any problem. 90% of Western Marxists are naive seekers of utopia, and have no understanding or exposure to real world risks. 10% are evil manipulators who seek to destroy civilization.https://twitter.com/saifedean/status/1015392697606180870 …

Saifedean Ammous @saifedeanReplying to @MimeticValue @cryptobubbleman and 3 othersMarxist stupidity is only funny when you don't think of its consequences. Every criminal despot propagated Marxist monetary brain damage to get away with replacing money with debt scrip. Morons who repeat it today ought to be despised & shunned, not engaged & respected.2 replies 3 retweets 39 likesShow this thread -
Thus, we have this academia machine where evil manipulators (Marxist professors) create more Marxists by fooling naive optimists (young college students) through the propagation of magical thinking rather than clear thinking.

This is even more apparent in media. Consider experienced news “journalists” at cnn or fox. It seems unlikely they are unaware of their angle, yet indoctrinating naive interns and young employees every day.
