    Brilliant episode (microphone problems notwithstanding). The best one yet.
    Brogan has gotten really good at holding it together while Greg buzzes, fidgets, inexplicably looks straight into the camera, and appears to not be paying attention, until he speaks up and indicates that he is actually entirely engaged in the conversation.
    There's a genuine, palpable curiosity that seems to drive Brogan and finds him incredibly well suited to this gig.
    I had no idea that Joshua and Jreg knew one another, but of course it makes perfect sense and is ultimately unsurprising.
    Joshua was such an excellent guest. He's clear-eyed, deeply knowledgeable, solution oriented, rooted in reality, but with a healthy comprehension of the necessity for ideals toward which we're striving. While I know that in our current world there are those who would scoff at much of what he proposes and observes -- and I certainly don't agree with everything he, or anyone, says (including iterations of myself from the fairly recent past) -- I'd happily associate myself with any coalition of which he was a part. I don't see how, at this moment in history, any reasonable person wouldn't.
    You've had some excellent and compelling guests on here -- personally, I'm very fond of CJ the X, and felt the three of you had a great conversation, and Jane Gatsby was entertaining, as was Brogan's barely contained exasperation by the end of the conversation -- but this episode felt like some of the podcast's philosophical underpinnings were elevated from subtext to primary subject.
    Great episode (but, in the future, it might be advisable to at least pop an earbud in one of your ears so you know in real time if one of the mics has gone on the fritz... I realize this is obvious, but never let it be said that I'm not kind of a dick).

    When people bring up Walmart as a planned economy, it's important to understand that, fundamentally, Walmart is still responding to price signals. Planning is determined by Walmart from said price signals. If Walmart did not exist inside a market based society, it would have no price signals to respond to and thus would no longer be able to "plan" as it currently does. Planning is easy when you have price signals that determine your planning for you, in fact, it likely doesn't fit what people normally have in their mind as "planning." Do not mistake administrative practices by a company inside a capitalist system for the existence of socialism.

    One term coined by Nick Land which interested me was “teleoplexy” which is similar to one I had developed independently. My understanding is that the object of accelerationism is to study “teleoplexic mechanisms” which pertain to the emergence of teleological feedback complexes or “catastrophes” (which are special cases of “singularities”). The main distinction between left and right accelerationism is that the left treats capital, technology, innovation, and intelligence as naturally separate while seeking to transcend the capitalist order while the right sees these factors, arguments and parameters as not yet separately emerged and instrumental in their mutual self-realization. In terms of math there are a number of approaches to economic issues I could consider, one is categorical cybernetics and systems theory, another is tropical mechanism and institution design.

      “In using tropical geometry, we are able to give incentive constraints algebraic structure. This allows us, for example, to give a (tropical) linear algebraic basis of payments. Why is this interesting you ask? Typically we rely on revenue equivalence to derive incentive compatible payments.”
      “Compositional game theory belongs to an emerging common pattern of things that look a bit like lenses if you squint a bit. Also here can be found backpropagation (also this) the Kalman filter, and reinforcement learning (I have unpublished notes on reinforcement learning with open games, and I’ll come back to it).”

    Love the guest, Josh is very smart and interesting. However@41 min on, he has a huge hole in his understanding. Amazon/walmart are not centrally planning wohtout use of price signals. The price signals have already been baked into the goods during production (for example, how profitable it is to mine copper at X location, which is shipped to Y company to process it into cathode sheets, which are sold at market rates to mfg firms to produce some cookware let's say. Walmart then negotiates woth the Mfg to buy 1 million units @ $9.90 per. They did no calculation to understand all the steps of mining, processing etc. they just know the mfg is willing to sell at $9.90 per becauae obviously their costs allow for this. Hope that makes sense

    Walmart uses economic planning however it is not the same as a planned economy. Having a plan doesnt make you socialist. The market price system is required for walmart to do what it does. If you ha e a 100% planned economy how do you know how much wood to chop? If you chop to much you could possible have so mucb you cant even process it if you chop to little then you dont have enough. How do you know to use wood or use bricks? How do you know to spend more money on engineers to plan a rail road route or if it would be cheaper to just brute force make the rail. Prices hold valuable info in making these decisions.

    Idk why water bottlers would be adding fluoride to their water but it is good for your teeth especially if you get it while you're a kid. Dentists can tell if you grew up with fluoridated water because your enamel is much harder so your teeth are more resistant to cavities, decay, etc. My guess is that a lot of places in the US don't have great tap water so adding it to the water that people do drink is another way to deliver it.

    Josh in this video said a couple things I disagree with: 1: that It's impossible to form a broad coalition of people that share the same cultural values. I don't know what gives him the impression that it's easier to get Republicans to support communism, or even unionism than it is to get them to change their "cultural values." The belief that unions are bad IS a cultural value.
    Plus, we see what happens when right-wing people "develop class consciousness" it's almost never that they actually organize a unified labor movement with the left, it's stuff like Tucker Carlson being mad at vague "elites."
    2: I don't get how he thinks holding biologically essentialist views of race is "incompatible" with a Marxist philosophy of Materialism. I mean, I think men and women are different. At bare minimum most Leftists would have to agree that men and women have physiological differences, even if they would never cop to them being behaviorally different. Is that somehow incompatible with Materialism too?
    I've never really understood how people so confidently say other groups have "fundamentally incompatible views" when, typically, if you learn enough about them you come to understand how those views fit together for them.

    • @BrightyLighty_
      @BrightyLighty_ Před měsícem +1

      To "agree that men and women have physiological differences" is to believe in a binary of men and women; and is therefore an idea that many far-leftists would critique as anti-feminist.

    One interesting bit of theory that I don't see talked about much is that under our current capitalist system, a co-operatively owned business could easily outcompete similar businesses given the right starting resources. Without a CEO skimming millions off the top, you can reduce prices further than the equivalent corporation would. (The key thing that prevents this from being a reality is the "right starting resources" part.)

      This is also with the understanding that the market in which you'll compete in will be fair, which it will not be.

    I wonder what Joshuas thoughts are on the lands assumption that we are indefinitely moving towards techno singularity! Is somthing there valid or is it all just bullshit? Land is general is an interesting thinker ( - Racism) but the singularity stuff is obviously a sketchy thing to belive in.... right? hahahah

    If you folks hate reading and don’t want to listen to an audiobook, socialist channel Second Thought has a very simplified overview of “The People’s Republic of Walmart” called “How Companies Plan the Economy”. But the book really is interesting and I think it’s worth a read.

    American culture is the second most suicidal culture behind that of the French. Joshua Citarella’s a manifestation of these deeply suicidal tendencies. We can sit back and laugh, for certain, but it’s essentially the same as a cancer patient sitting, giggling at his disease as he dies. Keep in mind, that once the American experiment crashes and burns, nobody in history will ever want it again. And nobody in history will ever be able to recreate it. Same thing happened to the Romans. But also keep in mind the fact that it isn’t over. We can still turn the tides, we can still prove that American values are good, just and fair. We don’t have to let the suicidal win.
