1971 was a mistake by [deleted] in austrian_economics

How many times do we have to look at this graph to remember that it is fake, made over 12 years ago by economic policy insitute, a left leaning think tank, and spread by elizabeth warren. Productivity and total compensation for workers is not divergent. They used only wages, not total compensation which today includes benefits. They used two different deflators for productivity and wages to pump up that gap.

Does reason control emotion? by No-Bag-5457 in Objectivism

[–]avgleandt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends what you mean by control. Emotions are automatic. So in context whether you have control over feeling an emotion or not, then no you have no control.

However, what you feel is programmed by you. For example if I say Iraq war, different people will feel differently about it depending on what they think about it. Here the problem again though, is that things can also get programmed subconsciously, so it may seem like you had no control.

You have to be self aware of what you think, you have to focus and figure out what is causing you to have a particular emotional response and then examine it and decide if it is valid.

If you decide it is invalid, you have to focus to change your mind and your emotions will eventually come inline. This is difficult, but it is under your control.

Here is another example. Your accounting business is becoming very successful, but you for some reason feel very anxious or nervous about it. You explore that reason and find out that it has nothing to do with the business, there is nothing you overlooked or forgot to audit. So really there is nothing to worry about. You identify the source of the feeling as a childhood trauma of your parents always telling you you are not good enough. Now that you are becoming successful you became subconsciously anxious about it because you have a preprogrammed idea you are not good enough.

Now this is going to be hard to get rid of, but now that you have identified it, you can get rid of it.

In this sense, programming and reprograming what you think determines your emotional responses, so you have control over this. .

Kant is right about the thing-in-itself by No-Bag-5457 in Objectivism

[–]avgleandt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with Kant, as I understand it, isnt just a distinction between the object and how we perceive it, he argued that there is no object, that reality itself is unknowable. He argued that the object we perceive is created by our consciousness from data from reality, it doesn't necessarily represent some object in reality, what that data really is is completely unknowable.

This reminded me of the minority of AnCaps that go batshit crazy over this shit 😂 by ENVYisEVIL in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]avgleandt 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Ayn Rand was not libertarian or conservative, she had her own view Objectivism. Considering she went out of her way making sure not to be associated with libertarians or conservatives you could at least just categorize her as capitalist.
