@Aral Balkan I agree. But since the 80ies the human experience is reduced to a spreadsheet thanks to Nobel prize winner John Nash and other economists who made the idea of rational choice so acceptable.
Our brains are kind of a soficiticated computer. So making parallels to software like spreadsheets to explain how we make decisions has its merits.
You should read "Human Action" by Mises. It would illustrate why every monetary transaction is a value transaction. "The Virtue of selfishness" by Ayan Rand would explain exactly why every transaction is a value transaction AND a moral decision.
Our brains are nothing like computers. Memory is perpetually reconstructed, there’s no central processing unit, no hard disk, no keyboard, no network connectivity, what are you talking about?
And Ayn Rand was wrong about pretty much everything. 🗑
@Hypolite Petovan @Aral Balkan @Kramer Peace Couldn't agree more with you @Hypolite Petovan. Of course one can compare a brain with a computer, but it says so much about how one thinks that brains and computers are and so little about computers and brains. Adam Curtis has illustrated in his documentary "All watched over by machines of loving kindness" the catastrophic consequences of Randian ideas and it's political successor Californian ideology.
From wikipedia, about Californian Ideology: This ideology mixed New Left and New Right beliefs together based on their shared interest in anti-statism, the counterculture of the 1960s, and techno-utopianism.
In other words: It has nothing to do with Objectivism.
to be honest I cannot imagine another futuristic way to solve enequality. We are already measuring advantages and disadvantages of people and try to equalize the system based on the “data”. Think of gevernmental supports or progressive income taxes. But we still have loads of enequality, not only because we don’t agree on common morals but also don’t have a sophisticated way to measure all the complexities of enequality.
There still are loads of inequality because people who take country-level decisions are fine with it, nothing more. We aren’t lacking tools, we’re lacking the will.
