Can anyone name one other academic field (that, as a consensus, is taken seriously) where “99%” of it is “bogus and ridiculous nonsense”?

Well, I’m not, but, I can’t prove whether I am being honest or not, so whatever. I am talking about studying markets and studying language, not “all sciences”. Again, I am talking about Ludwig von Mises, not Austrian School economics in general. I have posted a lot of stuff about the foundati…

By the way, I didn’t even show why the categories that I was talking about were confused. I just stated that, which might be why you think I am being dogmatic. Well, I meant to do that. I wanted to kick start my critique by getting you to try to give your definitions of them. I wanted to see how yo…

What I mean to say is that I don’t know what you’re getting at by making the analogy. Because I don’t know if you even understand Mises or this issue. Nor can I be sure if I know what you’re getting at – it seems there is some carry over of some ‘axiomatic’ truth from Mises which privileges a prior…

Well, I have to leave for now; I will get back to this tomorrow.

I was talking about Ludwig von Mises, not just Austrian School economics in general. If you can’t comment on that, why are you still in this conversation? I am telling you that everything that Ludwig von Mises said about economics applies to linguistics, and that I think that the reason why linguist…

Because “speaking in binary” is only a cipher. It’s still English (or whatever language they’re encoding) underneath.

This. Smart people don’t dream of being teachers. It’s the people who are left after the talented and competent do else that go into teaching. Subjects like economics don’t even have any application outside of teaching. It’s just a chain of propaganda. A bunch of people get paid (on someone else’s…

Do they dream of working at a patent office?

The admins reserve the right to monopolize cheekyness. So, you’ll have to guess.

Okay, well, in my next few posts, I will try to explain what the foundation of studying markets is in tradition of Ludwig von Mises, and then try to show why we should also use that same foundation to study languages. I didn’t ever try to explain the foundation in this thread; I just acted like you…
