@simplic10 Moldbug's a heretical Austrian. Austrians think you can solve everything by talking and reifying and hate to quantify or test. -
@St_Rev Oh, you mean von Mises etc. Yeah. Very narrative driven. -
@St_Rev In a sense I appreciate a small dose of that bc modern westerners have the historical memory of a goldfish. -
