The socialist calculation problem isn’t about not having enough computing power, it’s about it not being possible to aggregate all of the relevant information to estimate correct prices and quantities because that relevant information mostly sits in people’s heads https://t.co/dYp0zEqmZX— John Brown stan account 🐒 (@thejb_stan) April 26, 2023
It's funny, I didn't see this was the dunk tank and read "problem" as "challenge", as in a challenge to be overcome, because ideally your planned economy would get more and more precise, until the only unknown variables would be the whims of discrete individuals, and then the challenge would be to balance the privacy of individuals in their personal consumption habits with the desire for precision.
But then I realized it's just socialism bad because ... capitalism is better at invading and permeating every aspect of our lives and warping our perception of reality and community.
