on HN you can either be a moldbugian reactionary or a utopian socialist, but the important thing is that your ideology remains unimplementable and thus unfalsifiable and safe forever from the dangerous forces of empirical results
- bccdee 1y agoThe utopian socialists were pre-Marxist, actually. Marx spent a lot of time critiquing them. They're not really around anymore. Anyway, what does it mean to "implement" a critique? All I did was point out the problems with capitalism, for which there is plenty of empirical evidence. If you want to know which policies I support implementing, I'm afraid they're relatively dull and incrementalist, since policy can't reorder the global economy by fiat.
