      Ham Sarris & AnCaps both love to rebut facts with hypotheticals, often of extreme cases: “but what if you were trapped with 50 people on an alien planet, how would you centrally plan then, hmm?”

      i’m not so naive to think that there are extreme cases, where survival depends on it, information poor, institutions sui generis & original resource endowments equal where ‘markets’ wouldn’t be so bad, but we haven’t lived in that world on Earth, well, basically ever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Riffing off your Austrian post: I used to exalt the computational power of markets as an integrator of sincere human expressions. Things got cloudy real fast once I got to a point of technical competency where I could seriously ask, "well, okay, but...try to quantify that."

      The coder in me started to feel like A LOT of laissez faire and neoliberal arguments have the same shape as ones where management inflates the cost of technical debt to justify a status quo that grants continuing consulting fees.

      Yes, redesigning belief systems, cultures, and social institutions is far harder. But, the rejection of all other societal structures really seems premised on an abstract barrier that will one day concretely fail, if only because of a refusal to update given new information.

      Unfortunately, I’m of the school that basically thinks no amount of data could falsify the neoliberal worldview bc the ideology itself prima facie excludes as evidence data which would conflict with its operation

      I mostly agree. (Except the entire point of my dissertation is thinking about how to select and schedule arguments to induce changes in the probabilities of realizable trajectories of belief systems.)

      That’s a very interesting question. Did you look at the paper I sent you on scientific research strategies as a way of coping with balancing the need for novelty on the one hand & communicability on the other (all leading back to tenure lol) ?

      That queue is extremely over-capacity at this point. I'm sure you know the feeling.

          That’s very cool—I think it’s really interesting to understand the boundaries of ingroup/outgroup framings. Alas I think our best bet in the endeavor is ah alien invasion 😉
