pigglet:
i find myself deleting posts in response to ustwo more often than i post them in an effort to control for this kind of problem (what you refer to above)--in this case, i dont see it: i asked basic questions and they get no response.
when a response comes, it is trivial.
i see no reason to move on the basic claim i am making--which is that this is not a political thread.
i am not arguing that it could not be one---you rightly point out how it could become one, and in a different context i would probably even have tried to make it one--but at some point i think that the conservative attempt to depolitiize economic activity should be held to its own implications and discussions that work within it moved out of politics and out of philosophy and into finance or lifestyle.
there's nothing more to this.
i will also say that in general here i have been nice to ustwo so far in this thread.
i have even taken seriously a mode of argument that i find to be totally absurd.
but he should accept the consequences of his position, it seems to me.
i'll check in on this again once it is moved to another space.
