Take it from me, public masturbation is totally not worth it.

QuoteI see now that the kooks do indeed simply come up out the woodwork and make a beeline.

who here isn't a kook? I've been registered on this forum less than a month and haven't found a single poster that didn't fit that description.

It's not even clever.

My cleverness is really hit-and-miss to be honest. One of my design flaws.

Quotebut of course my new friend Rog (if I can call you Rog?)

Oh FFS.  :roll:

It never ends.  One special snowflake after another.

Why do they ALL want to call you Rog? I've known you for going on nine years and I have NEVER had the urge to call you Rog.

It's a stupid fucking dominance game.  Implied familiarity implying contempt implying superiority on his part.

It accomplished one of his intentions, though.  I went straight to hating him.  As far as feelings of superiority, I could give a shit less if he feels superior.  He's a libertarian.

:lulz:

the face of an accomplished psychoanalyst, able to pick out dominance complexes at the drop of a hat

A shame you hate me. Other than being a bit upset I might get banned for what I probably shouldn't have posted in the first place, I rather like everyone here.

so is this the thread I post in when I'm drunk?

Eh, it's okay to post in while drunk. Funner to make your own thread.
Also you autistic underaged brat, bars aren't just for drinking.

I don't mean "how business cycles work," and that's something that could be looked into, I mean that predictions from the start of the recession have favored the salt water over the fresh water, using pure numbers.

Depends on who's numbers you cite and who's take on them you adhere to, as is often the case in macroecon. Oftentimes the data tells half the story.

Which is to say, it's about as factual as Scientology.

That's one conclusion you could come to, and there definitely is a misuse of empirical data that goes on in econ. Economists should be more willing to say "I don't know," but too many times they think they're smarter than they really are. It is the "dismal science," after all!

Of course, I'm rather proud of that moniker...

Only if I'm fucking you on the regular.

I've been looking for a creative way to lose my virginity for quite some time.

Not a Keynesian, then?  Any reason, considering the past predictions regarding the current economy?

Macro is a complex subject, as far as I can tell no one school actually has a decent theory that explains the business cycle completely. Probably because it's so damn complex a system.

As far as the framework for doing macroeconomics goes, Milton Friedman famously said "we are all Keynesians now." Not in the sense that he agreed with Keynes's conclusions about government spending, but that the Keynesian revolution had fundamentally transformed the way we've done economics. There's even a term for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_synthesis

Practically every economist, barring those from heterodox schools like the Austrians and the Marxists, tend operate within the new neoclassical framework that has absorbed a good portion of Keynesianism as an integral part of the way it studies the world.
