When exposed to new phenomena we change. We immediately change, but not necessarily for the better. There is change there. Maybe we like it, but that doesn’t mean it is for the better. Did the change do any good? Is there anything — that came from it? Did we need something? Why this change? There is little need for there anything new, if you consider that cultures exist for a thousand years and why would they want to change? In my view, there is no inherent reason there. No reason. That is all I have to say. None. …
story from the future
I’d already been “homeless” for four years, before the great social failure began. People were dropping like fleas.
They wanted you to get vaccinated at the same place that rips you off on sardines and beer. There are certainly those that think it is great to buy that stuff there. If you are that kind of person — good for you. I am in the middle of utter revulsion at the sick, queer persons in Walgreens and CVS. You may like these institutions of mainstream America. …
With an idea about what to do
. . . . . H.U.MO
I had nothing to do as a homeless person when suddenly I got a brainstorm.
“I’ll go to Burger King!”
I left the place I was and started walking. I walked block after block. Of course it was a typical normal American neighborhood, and two dogs barked, and finally I entered. What do you know — but, I get a barista (or whatever you call it) who was D.U.M.B. And also fat. (for information only: non-biased) This Burger King was pretty good of late. But now going downhill. Once again. …
ECONO
Economic liberalism is a political and economic ideology based on strong support for a market economy and private property in the means of production. … An economy that is managed according to these precepts may be described as liberal capitalism or a liberal economy.
Capitalism is always going to be trending liberal. There is, in capitalism, a general trend that favors outcomes that are liberal. The conservatives just don’t want to own up to it. Hence, all the ideology. Capitalism is not just a way of producing wealth and trading. It is also a propaganda system. Conservatives have to…
We have records of everything!
In the (Miami Herald) newspaper today we see: an innocent man in prison for 30 years. A man has been having sex with puppy dogs. Records are missing. These are three stories — I am trying to list some stories I read. Yes, I did read them — ok, mostly.
In the society or social system that we have, we engage in many complicated discussions. The contents of these are often recorded. And many of our newspaper articles are related to the complicated discussions. The newspaper articles are an indicator; these point to discussions.
Sometimes, an article may tell us…
Animal, Human, Exogenous
It seems sufficiently clear to me, or it appears to be a safe assumption, that a cafe, or one where tea, coffee, and a little food is served to the customers is a good representative example to use in discussing economics. There is a lot of money clearing that counter; and also these kinds of cafes serve as a sort of marker in the affluent neighborhoods. So this is one way to talk about economics. An example for ECONO, the study of … e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-s.
So, when we study economics, we should be studying humans. Behind the counter in our representative…
how is anyone to know what anything is?
How does one know what anything is? Let’s say that the title of a “Medium” storie sound good. Well, that is no guarantee of anything. Maybe there is a website somewhere that you can go to, if you want to buy a title for your storie. So, that is what I mean — how do you know what any thing is?
They used to say something about books. They used to say you cannot tell a book by its cover. Do you read the cover? No, but you read the book. They design the cover specifically in order to draw…
the Miami area, I am talking about
Hollywood Boulevard shops: it seems to me that as long as people are getting things, they are happy. The USA has little or no culture. But one can buy all sorts of things. This seems sufficient to satisfy everyone. It seems to satisfy all the needs of everyone present. I walked past the shops. There was a realtor, a vape store, a chiropractor selling Marijuana cards, a printer who did everything including T-shirts, and a shop that dealt in computer parts or repairs.
All these you could buy, if you wanted. So, persons have money; they buy things. This appears…
or is it for society?
Items are produced, for sale, in capitalism. When items are produced in industrial capitalism of the 19th and 20th centuries it is done at the behest of a self-interested party, which is a “self,” or a person. I refer to the person owning or running or operating the enterprise. The enterprises are usually operated by a “self.”
But production, for thousands of years previous, does not work that way. …
The teacher speaks
Here is the way the world works. It is very rational. (Teacher proceeds to explain, say medicine, or astronomy, or say how to not sniff [Elmer’s] glue.) The day passes. The children learn. They are happy…
fortunately everything in the world makes sense. You work, your wages being set by the market, and then you buy things the prices of which are set by: the market
All of this works out very rationally. For all of time. The free market makes everything work smoothly.
So. If you believe that? You are now qualified in economics and you may preach the…

In my work, I take a look at a particular American intellectual formulation, a view that says that capitalism is broadly “private.”
