@jenwdragon – aw, that’s very sweet to say but I’ve been doing too much TV so I can tell I’m starting to look my age now

@aniceberg – yes, they’re called “libraries” – no doubt another thing your apriori logic would not have predicted would exist

Wed 7 Sep 2011 20:59

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – your own lack of imagination or understanding is not itself an argument

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – look, complex arguments can’t be conveyed on twitter. Read the reply! This is silly.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 20:07

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – ethnography, historical data, and logic all confirm barter only occurs between strangers. This has implications

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:36

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – actually I cover that, there are, but barter logically can’t really be one of them. Read the reply.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:35

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – this was theological, apparently Menger is for some at least one of the prophets who cannot be wrong

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:34

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – I made utterly accepted point that barter theory has proved wrong. Murphy attacked me because Menger embraced it

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:32

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – sorry, meant _you_ folks are the ones that tried to discredit my position. Others deserve to know on what basis.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:27

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – folks are the ones that chose to try to discredit my arguments. Others should know on what basis.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:21

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – if you don’t even know what an ad hominem is, yes, probably debate is pointless.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 19:19

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – characterizing someone’s arguments as theological is not an ad hominem.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:56

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – in other words you are theologians, you’re no longer pretending economics is anything like a science.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:51

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – you could make wonderful logical constructs based on the assumption civilization was created by space aliens. So?

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:49

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – problem is economists assume all market actors are essentially monomaniacal sociopaths. They call this “rationality”

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:44

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – in this case, both premises and logic seem to be faulty. You guys got it wrong. Deal with it.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:43

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – if you create a logical model that makes systematically false predictions, either your premises or logic are faulty.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:19

@jeremy6d – oh I know, even a lot of people on the site were admirably understanding and open-minded. Most of them, actually.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:17

@jeremy6d @aniceberg – I’d have to end up sitting writing “no what I actually said was” over and over and over. Why should I have to?

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:17

@jeremy6d @aniceberg – a waste of time I suspect. Man has some of the poorest reading skills I’ve encountered.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:15

@aniceberg @jeremy6d – not really interested in a theological system that tells people that what’s before our eyes, can’t logically be there

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:11

@jeremy6d @aniceberg – precisely. I simply pointed out the standard barter story has long been proved wrong. Most economists admit this.

Wed 7 Sep 2011 18:10

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @davidgraebers – absurd. If he wanted to understand them he’d have consulted the book. Also: what radical claims?

Wed 7 Sep 2011 15:52

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @mises – if people are still defending it on “logical” grounds it has nothing to do with logic, it’s become religion

Wed 7 Sep 2011 15:51

@aniceberg @jeremy6d @mises – the barter theory is both logically flawed and has been empirically falsified.
