The bloody nonsense of socialist "economists" goes all the way down to their metaphysics. They just can't conceive the fundamentally individual nature of the human being.

Growth is not a strategy. Growth is what happens when free people are left alone to pursue their desires, constrained by respect for others property and liberty. I don’t live to fulfill some dreamers coercive “strategy”

A trillion dollars today inflation-adjusted to 1913 is a bit under thirty billion dollars.
It's not that the trillionaires are getting richer. It's that the dollar is getting cheaper.
Calm down, people.

Just try to imagine the value-production that got scratched out of existence by the arbitrary force of government in only the past ten years.

Democracy is mob rule dressed in a cheap suit.
It's a rigged casino where the house always wins, and your only civic duty is to take the hit and thank the bastards robbing you.

Hallucinated references are a real problem. But the main job of researchers is to make new discoveries and train the next generation to do the same. Pretending every citation in every paper must be read in detail by the authors is simply not how research operates — nor should it.

The difference between a "skeptic" and a "cynic" is:
A skeptic is not convinced.
A cynic cannot be convinced, no matter what or how.

If evidence can never change your mind, that is not skepticism.
It is ideology.
