homo economicus

    Much of our dialect comes from the tale of brave Ulysses, whose long imprisonment in the mind palaces of the snide and thoughtless taught him to hone words of derision that could cut through the pillars of the homo economicus worldview. In time he departed for another adventure, but we still wield the words he forged us.

      homo economicus

      Lmao is this a new one? I think it's originally from Adam Smith where he argues it's a positive thing lol, and Samir Amin uses it sarcasticly, along with quips and jokes about "actually existing capitalism". I'll see if I can find it.

      The liberal virus caused among its victims a curious schizophrenia. Humans no longer lived as whole beings, organizing themselves to produce what is necessary to satisfy their needs (what the learned have called "economic life") and simultaneously developing the institutions, the rules, and the customs that enable them to develop (what the same learned people have called "political life"), conscious that the two aspects of social life are inseparable. Henceforth, they lived sometimes as homo oeconomicus, abandoning to "the market" the responsibility to regulate their "economic life" automatically, and sometimes as "citizens," depositing in ballot boxes their choices for those who would have the responsibility to establish the rules of the game for their "political life."

        He left silicon valley to go live in the woods somewhere, refurbish a house and is becoming a dad as far as I know. So no more posts for a while. He will no longer be annoyed by Bazinga brained techbros, just rural folk and doomsday preppers now.

          That sounds nice and probably for the best. Being exposed to media aimed at young children may just kill him tho. The post infant years are gonna be rough

            Paw patrol! Paw patrol! Paw patrol on the double!

            But there are good shows like bluey.

            Honestly the toddler years aren't the worst, honestly pre teen years could be more challenging. Some of my younger family members are at that age and it seems like a living hell for the parents lol.

              Pre teens are always bad. No exceptions. Everyone was a giant piece of shit between ages 12 and 16 and that's just the breaks.
