Dean

I see you're interested in economics. I may be a noob but I'd love to discuss economic quantitativeness of LTV Surplus etc, etc,

Caaaaaaaaaaaaat powerrrrr

I think you should re-define your concept of absurd. Also, re-read carefully my last post. Everything I had to say in that thread has been said, and any more dwelling on it is just misinterpreting what has been said, whether its on your part or mine.

Is that your new cat, dean?

Hello, I heard you were interested in psychoanalysis, I don't suppose there are any introductory works you can direct me to? Also, it seems, simply from reading bits & pieces here and there, that it's interlinked to Marxism, "radical emancipatory politics" and suchlike; have you got the time to briefly explain why? Thank you.

the one-way-ticket? Could be many things, my personal life, progress... i took it from a text about the first creature in space, a dog called Laika I am making up.

Yes, you're right of course. The Universities et al. are not run democratically at all and are part of the capitalist system. I'm well aware of the indoctrination that takes place in Universities etc.

I think I was actually trying to point out the bald faced fact that capitalism REQUIRES government to exist properly. Marx I believe essentially said the same thing. That the free-market, is, in a way, the government. The government exists to protect the property and manage the affairs of the capitalists.

Congrats on your engagement!

EDIT: Make that your wedding!

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Congrats.
