When I bleed, it is because my body values having blood outside of it more than having blood inside of it. Or maybe its because I have a surplus of blood and my body is equilibrating.
Also, gravity is just the result of various profit seeking individuals.
More often than not, it’s because you did something foolish, and are paying for it. Unless you are unluck sap and just bleeding from you orifices at random, then I might suggest that you should have learned how to use a condom a little sooner.
If you follow GR, then you would be aware that Gravity is the result of mass bending spacetime upon itself, and causing a sink effect that makes everything fall towards the drain of the gravity well. That’s putting it very generally, pun not intended.
So does that make my blood a medium of exchange?
There are clinic’s that will trade you fiat for it. In emergencies if you want to save some person’s life you give them blood. So, yes in circumstances it can be.
Only conscious human actions are in the realm of economics. Uncontrollable bodily functions like breathing, bleeding, and digesting food aren’t, which was the point that previous posters were trying to drive home.
Which had the previous checked my posting previously, he would have discovered that it’s just not so. Economics is not a new concept, and it’s entirety is based on the exchange of information or material’s within a ruleset that is beyond human control. Everything else that a human does that breaks these rules has consequence’s. To say otherwise is to ignore the abundant information around us that says otherwise.
Even though people like to refer to Economics as being a purely financial topic on the based of dealing with money or controllable choice. They are for the most part incorrectly ignoring the greater reality that it’s just the natural evolution of how the real world is being interprated into a way Human’s can understand. Term’s like Supply and Demand, or Abundance and Scarcity. They are terms that merely describe the real world, even though they create a perception of detatchment.
Unconcious action’s are the same way, even though they are actually biological action’s required to live. You can not breath if you burn the oxygen out of your air supply. You can not bleed if you are severely dehydrated, or dead.You can not digest without eating something in the first place. It’s all linked, and you can’t sepearate any of this without detracting from reality and living in fantasy land. That’s what the root word Eco represent’s.
Being a site dedicated to Austian School, I would have thought that everyone would have figured this little detail out by now.
'If you understand classical Greek, you know it’s a conceptual language, much like the language of present day Asia.
Economics is derived from the Classical Greek word Eco- (actually oikos in Greek) and nomo.
Oikos (eco) with means indirectly house or environment. Directly it refer’s to the area of being or living.
Nomos means indirectly rules, natural laws or laws of the government. Directly it refer’s to the concept of a general system rules that are unflexible without consequence.’
Yes but the “economics” of the Greeks and the modern day economics are two different things. That is why Adam Smith or Turgot are seen as the creators of modern economics.
“Sleep is an exchange of a period of down time for the physical body to repair itself in exchange for mental stability and physical health. It’s a direct exchange. It falls clearly under root word example of Economics from the base concepts laid out by the Greek’s.”
Who is this direct exchange happening with? Yourself and…Yourself?
“Yes this an economic transaction that is taking place between you, me and everyone on the Internet that reads this.”
Where is the property title transfer?
"Whether you recognize it or not, we are all exchanging idea’s for the betterment of each other to further the thought process in the concept of promoting further exchanges and idea’s to be formed. "
The exchanging of ideas isn’t an economic phenomena, it is an intellectual one. We are not transferring any goods nor are we providing any services.
“Please do refrain from telling other’s what they should and should not do.”
Where do you derive this idea from my statement?
“If I’m to be referred to as Thales, I would think that to be a complement. I’m hardly that accomplished however, and I doubt I would ever attain such a noteriety when surrounded by far greater mind’s than myself.”
Well it was meant as a slight for Thales took a prevalent idea, that there is a great wealth of water in the world, and exaggerated it to the point of folly which is his premise that everything is made of water. This is what you are doing with economics. Economics has a prevalent impact on our life but it is not all of our life nor is it the deciding factor in everyone’s life.
It’s actually well and good we are discussing whether or not the whole of man’s actions can be seen through the lens of economics because that is exactly what Marxists think. That the whole of human history, all of humanity’s actions are the result of economic forces outside of their control or unable to be fully conceived. Perhaps this is why Nid is making such statements as this:
“Being a site dedicated to Austian School, I would have thought that everyone would have figured this little detail out by now.”
I think I know the “secret ingredient” you’re looking for that separates Marxists from ordinary leftists… Think about the extreme examples of Marxists, and they all seem to have a need to let out their inner control freak. They’re arrogant, narcissistic, pseudo-intellectual know-it-alls who believe they’re better than the rest of the world, and they believe that qualifies them to make decisions for everyone else. A friend of mine and I had this conversation a few weeks ago about the defining characteristics of a Marxist, and came to the conclusion that anyone else in the general population who exhibited their kind of behavior, and expressed their kind of beliefs could be certified with either a mental disease or a social disorder. If one of your neighbors tried to do to you directly what Marxists try to do through political and social engineering, you could probably have him committed. However, since the Marxist’s beliefs and behaviors are all about politics and economics, it’s ok.
I used to believe that most real Marxists were insincere in their beliefs, because nobody in their right mind would believe those kind of things unless they had ulterior motives. Over the years, I have come to realize that most Marxist true believers sincerely believe themselves, which to me is strong support for the “psychological disorder” theory… inside every Marxist there’s a budding narcissistic megalomaniac control freak just waiting for his chance to rule the world, like a little Stalin. HL Mencken nailed it when he said, “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule”.
Sleep is an exchange of a period of down time for the physical body to repair itself in exchange for mental stability and physical health. It’s a direct exchange. It falls clearly under root word example of Economics from the base concepts laid out by the Greek’s.
Yeah, I can do vague metaphor too. For example, everything is thermo-dynamic transfer.
When I sit on the toilet for a crap, my waste products (read that as ‘heat’) is being dispersed into the toilet (read that as ‘cooler surroundings’).
When I read a book the knowledge from that book is dispersing into my brain.
When I attempt to univeralise concepts that were only intended for specific areas of life, this represents the higher energy ideas dispersing into it’s lower energy surroundings.
Just for the record, everything is also Star Trek, everything is Justin Bieber, everything is getting tickled, everything is the abstract notion of nothingness, everything is Benny Hill getting chased.
