Many words, few ideas. I was hoping for an argument based on ... well, anything. There's no real criticism of the scientific support for the idea that human minds are predictive. Just some vague connections to economics and a vocabulary that suggests anti-capitalist sympathies. Your attention is better spent elsewhere.
- Layke1123 6y agoIf our attention is better spent elsewhere, why then did you spend effort and attention reading it and then trying to relate anti-capitalist rhetoric here? Is it possible that you have an overly attached fondness to the term capitalism and can't handle any rebuke of the term?
- Layke1123 6y agoCan someone point out why I'm being downvoted? Or respond to my comment rather than just shutting down discourse?
- wizzwizz4 6y agoPerhaps your criticism of the bad comment was too rhetorical.
- meowkit 6y agoYou write dismissively of capitalism is my first note. Capitalism isn't the boogie man people make it out to be. It's the optimization criteria for increasing financial capital over other forms of capital (natural, labor, etc), and corporatocracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy
- Layke1123 6y agoIs writing dismissively of capitalism not OK? Can you make the argument that capitalism was and is always a force of good in the world? Is plutocracy considered a good and righteous thing?
- Layke1123 6y agoOK, continue to downvote rather than articulate any kind of intelligent response.
