@anatolium @brivael Cognitive dissonance can be painful.

@brivael Erreur de débutant : avoir répondu à quelqu’un qui n’est que le perroquet d’une IA - et en conséquence abêtie et aveuglée. Je ne pense pas que cela vous permette de progresser, ni de faire progresser des idées. Lisez. Pensées et bonne soirée.

Salut Juan, content que tu rejoignes la conversation. Mais ta réponse illustre exactement le problème. Oui Marx distingue valeur d'usage et valeur d'échange dès le chapitre 1. Personne ne dit le contraire. Le problème, c'est qu'il fonde la valeur d'échange sur le temps de travail socialement nécessaire. C'est ÇA qui a été démonté. Pas la distinction d'usage/échange, qui est triviale et antérieure à Marx (Aristote, Smith, Ricardo). La révolution marginaliste de 1871 ne nie pas qu'il y ait une "valeur d'échange". Elle démontre qu'elle ne dérive pas du travail incorporé, mais de l'utilité marginale subjective des agents en situation d'échange. Ce qui invalide toute la théorie de la plus-value, donc toute la théorie de l'exploitation, donc tout l'édifice politique qui en découle. Si tu veux défendre Marx en 2026, c'est ce point précis qu'il faut sauver. Pas me dire "il en parle page 30". Je sais. Tout le monde sait. La question n'est pas s'il en parle, c'est si sa théorie tient. Elle ne tient pas. Sur ta petite pique finale ("l'effort n'est pas une valeur de droite") : c'est exactement l'inverse. La droite libérale valorise l'effort productif récompensé par le marché. La gauche marxiste valorise l'effort indépendamment de son utilité sociale, ce qui est précisément l'erreur intellectuelle qu'on vient de pointer. Tu viens de résumer le problème en croyant me l'opposer. Bonne soirée.

@Jason C’mon, Jason, it’s 🤘🏻

@BasedMikeLee How about trying Constitutional amendment first to adopt the filibuster; if they don’t immediately agree, THEN nuke it.

I’d love to keep the filibuster and make filibustering senators speak That’s how the filibuster is supposed to work—protecting robust debate in the Senate It no longer does that; it now forestalls debate Enforce the filibuster Or nuke it The status quo empowers Democrats

Dear President Trump, Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. Please consider honoring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I can’t think of a greater representative of American values.

@RealJamesWoods @DavidSacks Why hasn’t this already happened?? Toss in VDH, get a Hoover 2fer.

@AmandaMAtwell I agree. It’s not good to be ranked #1 at the start of the season. Bad juju. Let it please be Ohio State🤘🏻

Please god no.

@OwenGregorian I’m not hearing the Spaces. Is there a mute button I’ve accidentally clicked? I don’t see one.

@elonmusk I’m for the Jeremy Boreing plan. Give them 3 months to pass a constitutional amendment enshrining the filibuster, and if they refuse then nuke it.

I just saw the much talked about film “Project Hail Mary.” It's very entertaining and uplifting and features a fine performance from Ryan Gosling. But what most intrigued me were the powerful Christian themes at play in it. The title, of course, refers to the Hail Mary pass in football, since the adventure undertaken is a fairly desperate attempt to save the planet. But it also becomes eminently clear that the reference is not just to football but to the Blessed Mother herself, for the Gosling character is undoubtedly a Christ-figure. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but it involves a willingness to sacrifice one's life utterly in order to deliver the entire human race from disaster. It is, of course, no accident that Gosling's character is called Ryland Grace, for throughout the movie, his presence and actions constitute undeserved favor to others. A particularly intriguing character in the film is a sober German scientist who relentlessly presses Grace to make the supreme sacrifice, even when he is unwilling. She represented for me the great moral demand that presses upon us throughout our lives, continually summoning us to self-gift. A last observation: Jesus had a second in command whom he called Peter (the Rock); Ryland Grace has a very unusual sidekick whom he calls “Rocky.” I'll leave it at that. I know lots of people say that Christianity is in irreversible decline and that we are inhabiting, at least in the West, a post-Christian society. I'm not so sure. Like it or not, we remain a Christ-haunted culture—and a film like “Project Hail Mary” makes this clear.

@GovPressOffice Pro-tip: Stop giving taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares

@Saffron_Sniper1 No, I don’t remember this. Puzzled that no one has responded to the “where/when is this” questions.

This is the most satisfying news you’ll hear today ! Do you remember when a group of boys, strangers to each other, formed a human chain to save a dog from fast flowing water? Today, local authorities unveiled a “Unity Statue” at the same place to celebrate human unity.

@ZiaErica @OwenGregorian That's nothing – in the 60s we used to shoot straight pens through straws at our friends, and light bottle rockets in our hands to throw them at each other.

@OwenGregorian Ha!!! My hubby had a lawn dart land right through the top of his foot. ahhh the memories of childhood and no one sued anyone!

Many people in the 80s also thought it was fun and safe to throw heavy metal tipped javelins way up in the air, at their back yard parties.

@chamath We’re looking for you in Texas.

We all know what some feel uncomfortable saying: Most taxes are WASTED. They are leaked and grifted into all kinds of programs that sound good on the surface. But that’s the lie that is told so politicians can take more of your earnings and dole it out to win votes and stay in power. But it also turns out that people aren’t stupid and know the game. So the states that admit this by breaking away from the hamster wheel of increased taxation are winning. While those who continue to try and sell the lie are losing. At the limit, those losing states are leaking so much revenue that they will eventually lose so much tax revenue as to be effectively insolvent. Remember this data is just from 2023…we are in mid 2026 so another two years of this trend is already in the books.
