What makes you say that China's closed/censored society is directly at odds with Google's products?
Alice in Wonderland was written by a mathematician. These videos are made by the same Macedonian teenagers who s*@!-posted Donald Trump into the white house.
You'd probably do a cheaper and better job just spending 15 minutes browsing youtube, then calling your buddy in Macedonia.
Watching that was worse than August Underground's Mordum.
I'm surprised no-one in this entire thread has even mentioned the possibility that autism, OCD, ADHD, etc. might be, in part, caused by such streams of nonsense. Human sociality needs to be boostrapped. Kids watching…
The article mixes its message a bit between automation/disruption/capital. One couldn't really say that Uber is in the business of automation. The capital/labor distinction is more productive, but since it is derived…
One extra consideration here is that as power centralizes, the costs of individual mistakes increases.
You can put all your energy into paddling a canoe, but if it's still tied to the dock you're going nowhere.

This is what is called the ideology of no ideology. A small cadre of elite economists that convened as the Mont Pelerin Society (led by Hayek) called themselves neoliberals for a bit but stopped using the term.
So you believe that there is such thing as a news report without commentary?
Perhaps doing something to control an overheated housing market would help more than tearing up new land 100 miles away from cities whose prosperity derives from the 'network effects' of geographical proximity.

ordering someone around != meaningful interaction.
If humans are just inefficient then we should just get rid of all of them no? Or perhaps just keep the smart, efficient ones with good credit scores.
Disrupt masturbation via the gig-economy model.
> lens of blind progression The problem is that there is no such thing as 'blind progression'. It will always be defined by someone or something, boxing all future progress into that person's biases. This is the same…
Anti-humanism is a very interesting strain of thought these days. Homo-Deus by Harari is my favorite example. The problem, of course, is that if we got where we are now by being humans, then how do we know we're far…
I think this is more or less correct, but I think the more important take-away from the article is how this kind of thinking ends up getting wrapped up in NRx and inevitably, the alt-right. Viewed from 1,000 ft, it is…
It's very easy to live an long, comfortable and unhappy life.

I see a couple of interviews here: http://hayek.ufm.edu/index.php/Main_Page Do you have a suggestion of which one is good to start? I really want to dive deep into this guy. Also, to be fair, theory travels. A lot of…
Funny to see this on HN. I am currently reading a book that details the recent history of economic theory and how it has been in bed with neoliberalism. It has much to say about Hayek and the Mont Pelerin Society, a…
