Marx!? Marx can teach us very little about economics and almost nothing about science. Science is NOT “a relationship between capital and labor”.
If you see everything through a such a strong lens, you see very little.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents, which never lead anywhere new. I know the GP pointed there, but that's no reason to follow the pointer. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- spikels 8y agoFair enough but I was reacting to the clearly idealogical. To suggest Marx has something to add in this issue is both provocative and ridiculous. To entertain drivel this degrades HN.
- dang 8y agoAs I tried to explain, it's a matter of degree. If a comment contains both bait and substance, it falls to the rest of us not to take the bait, since doing that guarantees a useless tangent or worse. The acceptable options are either (1) react to the substance, or (2) don't react. Getting triggered happens to everyone but is not an act of intellectual curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
