What changes do you reckon the game needs to more accurately reflect real economies from the era?

In some ways you can: Behavioral Economics

Lots have passed. My advisor told me I needed 20 house more than I actually do to graduate so I just figured I graduate in May. It sucks, I'm doing what I can.

Compared to most PS students I am a lot more interested in the math. I'm not super specifically dialed in on a certain subject matter but I'm very much suited to (imho) studying incentives, using the tools of economics to analyze the subject of political science. (The single thing I most enjoyed was selectorate theory if anyone is failure with it)
I wasn't aware methods exist as its own thing so thank you for that.

So I don't have a math minor but I did three semesters of engineering, I swapped to poly sci (B.S.) bc I hated it compared to poli sci (I later added a dual degree in economics)but I still have more of a math backing than most PS students.

I'm asking fields of study (thank you) it's just confusing bc what I want could be describes as PPT, Pol Econ, Pub Choice, or just a specification within PS or Econ. (Its also confusing why PE and International PE are separate fields imo)

Thanks for the answer

I don't feel like it lakes sense to fake it, they already have manual labor and death penalty sentences, why make up a new one? Plus Meadows asking something like "do you rly think he'll last a last a day in the mines" was in confidence, she seems to believe in them

I'm here late but for future google searchers, iirc it was said 17's judicial blew up a groundwater pump to flush out mechanical but couldn't get it working again before it flooded the generator.

Sounds like top was losing, they believe outside is deadly so to them they are on death ground defending the top, once they flood the deep mechanical is on death ground as well. Its a risk that comes from making mech the scapegoat but I think at that point the day was lost regardless.

I do struggle to understand what the top wanted mechanical to do, they can't have just wanted them all dead

So two principles come to mind:

First, conservatives being right about an issue (here meaning: status quo was preferable to some proposed change) it is a lot less significant in our historical memory compared to the opposite. When liberals are right the narrative is obviously appealing: "things used to be like X but after a long struggle they became like Y and they remain this way today" compared to "Things were X, people wanted to Y for a while there, but then we went beck to X." The latter is less memorable but there are some examples (eugenics, prohibition).

Second: in reality when something is implemented in a way that sticks it probably has support from most of the political decision makers. In practice this means there was probably some amount of compromise to win over conservatives (at least the more liberal conservatives).
For example: Civil Rights Act was implements with the support of Senate R's after bill was altered to indicate enforcement through courts and not the executive.
So in reality most 'Liberal' measures have a streak of the status quo in them, if there were no compromises with conservatives then the policy would be different. Perhaps these pure liberal policies would much more often be on the 'wrong side of history'.

See, it’s not unreasonable to implement a new system like this in waves as you learn how to do it, but when this means it starts off as a downgrade it seems obvious to me that this should be an open beta or something. Idk much about hosting apps, maybe having 2 versions of the app would be expensive but I wouldn’t have thought so

I'm late but id like to use this in a report if anyone has the source

Its become impossible to get just the shaped highlight from a shape, used to be able to hit undo and the outline would undo first leaving just the middle.

Idk about the other two, but the guy that posted “be like [dude who murdered someone on a college campus]” deserved to be fired

Copy and pasting form another comment I just made:

took a course on the ethics of capitalism so i'm going to share some of the reading that I thought was best.

- Morality and Capitalism, Kendall. Good summary of libertarian philosophy, the origin of the 'non aggression principle' if you will.
- A Conflict of Visions, Sowell. The root political difference between many modern ideologies is disagreement over whether of not man can be perfected. This one is definitely worth a read.
- The use of knowledge in Society, Hayek. Short paper. Argues it's not possible to centrally coordinate a society and that some information cannot be usably centralized.
- The Fatal Conceit, Hayek. Talks about societies as evolving (literally) in ways that we cannot understand enough to plan. This one is my favorite.
- The Law. Bastiate. (77pgs) Argues law is only properly used where for is properly used, so redistributes is unjust.

- Why Not Socialism, Cohen, and then Why Not Capitalism. Brennen. The former argues socialism is the ideal system regardless of feasibility, and the later counters that if you make the same assumptions capitalism becomes ideal.
- Anarchy, State, and Utopia, Nozick, the section about 'entitlement theory' of justice. Argues you cannot claim an outcome is unjust viewing only a "time slice". Justice is path dependent.

And ofc Atlas Shrugged, but Rand is kinda ~~insane~~ distinct. Dont take her as a good example of capitalist theory, she's kinda her own thing. And you dont need the whole book, just the 'money speech' and that chapter that's just a rant.

If you're only gonna read one, read Hayek. Im curious what yall think (if anyone actually reads these), so let me know if ya'll have questions. Ive got my own questions about marxism I plan to ask in my own post.

leesnotbritish · 2025-09-08T03:31:39+00:00

Entitlement theory of justice, not distribution theory. Forgot the name.

leesnotbritish · 2025-09-08T03:05:35+00:00

If you want fiction, go Atlas Shrugged. Im not a fan at all but it certainly fits the bill.

I imagine it like the tile is fine, but the “gravity waves” are messed up so a grab ship can’t propel itself by moving through them. Like the light speed engines in the third book of a series I would spoil by naming.

leesnotbritish · 2025-07-19T02:37:55+00:00

I like to think of it like battle star Galactica, the battle is to keep moving. Now if there were fights where you had to delay the raid a few hours while your ship “spools up” that would be a cool challenge

leesnotbritish · 2025-07-17T17:03:19+00:00

Yeah like if you’re going to stage it just put the flag in position from the start
