I ratmaxx and live in a burrow. I mainly talk about econ, anarchy and whatever I find interesting. Not all my posts are serious.
Actually in biology such behaviour is called an organism and all of them are operating under this notion and have been since life first apeared.
A market is an incentive and a selection mechanism. A price is an incentive, demand is a selection mechanism and demand is the thing subject to an evolutionary change. All markets are optimisation evolutionary algorithms. Incentives tell you something but they are not enough.
All prices are dynamic but at a certain update frequency people start feeling like they are unfair for some reason.
Big day for the Gripen fan.
🚨BREAKING: Thailand has sent Swedish-made Gripen fighter jets to bomb Cambodian targets, according to Cambodian military sources.
Every temperate rainforest ecosystem is incredible. The UK should try to grow theirs back.

There’s this Japanese company called Disco that it’s fairly successful and makes very extensive use of internal markets. I think it’s an extremely interesting and under appreciated case study.
I fully agree with this take, unsafe vibe-code aside, the only issue with the Tea app was it had no mechanism to elicit truthfulness. This is however a very big issue, and not one easy to solve.
I think the Tea app wasn’t a terrible idea in practise; lots of creeps and predators exist, and talking to others about genuine bad actors/receiving insight seems sound. If only to confirm suspicions. But it’s difficult to scale because first, you’re inevitably gonna get…
Hot take but piracy was never mainstream. There were significant barriers to entry.
funny how HdRip.1080p.x264.mp4 never killed cinema, but Netflix and OTT did
It’s easy to be aware of the costs of labour but do you have the awareness required to perceive the costs of not doing labour? (I shouldn’t be tweeting like this with my bohemian lifestyle, but at least I’m aware of the costs)
It’s actually quite clarifying that people are now attaching a “cost of their time and labor” for everything that isn’t sitting at home, looking at their phone.
Glycine can be vegan and it’s cheap and I recommend all my vegan moots to supplement with 10-25g every day (not all in one go)
Probably my most Austrian-coded vibes-based belief is that central banking has deformed the economy and society in ways we don’t fully grasp or comprehend. I don’t have any proof but I don’t have any doubts either.
Having an aging population will stifle you in ways you can’t imagine, and it’s going to get worse, the US population is still not that old.
Absolutely mindboggling how much power the healthcare racket has over the US economy.
No more brother wars.
China’s model isn’t perfect. But it can build, teach, and feed its people. Ours can't fix a pothole without a consulting firm, a lobbyist, and a billion-dollar procurement scandal. (10/11)
The non-profitability of providing a service to remote or rural areas is often cited as a reason for government intervention but in socialist darling Sweden 2/3rds of the road network is private roads, yet those only handle 4% of the traffic because they are often in remote areas
Hey man, fly some Chinese engineers over to the US or UK and tell them to build you a bridge (or any other major piece of infrastructure). See what happens. Please report back your results.
Ask a tenured professor at Harvard why U.S. infrastructure is collapsing. They’ll quote a journal article blaming red tape. Ask a Chinese engineer. He’ll build you a bridge. (7/11)
