Of course, the question is what, and how, we define as “illness”, and numbers just come from that.

this, there really isn't much difference between marginalism and LTV in terms of scientific value, both are pseudoscientific research programs heavily charged with ideological content which weigh on their respective narratives. there is no data that could disprove marginalism because you can always attribute the deviation from the law of demand to the fact that ceteris paribus was not satisfied, on the other hand LTV fails because of heterogeneity of labour (to the Marxist that will try to respond to this - the distinction between abstract and concrete labour is not a solution when wage rates of workers employed in various industries differ considerably, not to mention the absurd ad hoc assumption that skilled labour is to be counted as a multiple of ordinary labour) and the abstract notion of socially necessary labour time which renders it unmeasurable. if anyone of you finds him or herself dissatisfied with mainstream neoliberal economics as well as heterodox radical economics read Nitzan and Bichler "Capital as Power", it dissects both discourses beautifully

how do you optimally allocate time between browsing /lit/ and reading books? on one hands, I wouldn't know about 90% of the books I've read if it weren't for you guys, on the other browsing /lit/ is time consuming and doesn't allow me to read as much as I'd like to. what's the golden ratio here?

reading Nietzsche, Marx, Stirner, Bakunin, Lenin, Bukharin, Darwin, Marcuse, Adorno, Black, Strauss, Evola, Mosca, Spengler, von Wieser, Hayek, Mises, Moldbug, Pareto, Schmitt and Foucault redpilled me but I don't want to partake in a revolutionary upheaval. what books will unredpill me and convince me that the current neoliberal order is the best thing that happened to humanity and that there is no need for radical political action?

what is /lit/'s dick size? how often do you get laid? do you have a gf/bf?

leftist critiques of contemporary culture? I'm looking for something in the vein of late Dwight MacDonald's writings

is it true that he became a neoliberal towards the end of his life?
