The Echo Chambers, Change of Ownership

Displaced Democrats and misguided progressives have taken ownership of the echo chambers. For years, conservatives were the only occupants. With the Trump victory, the new owners are so loud the conservatives are hardly noticeable. Social media is all Trump bashing and no one is listening except the folks making the noise. Hope seems to be to find something, anything bad about Trump that will suddenly turn the country against him.

That makes sense. Politics is the art of getting people to act without any knowledge or information. The new echo chamber owners forget something very important. Voters did not vote for Trump. They voted against the ideas and people the liberals identify with. The more these people whine and complain, the more they turn people against them. Truth is so rare in the United States today, most public discourse is dismissed because of the high probability it is a lie anyway.

It is confounding that liberals and progressives are typically just fine with fascism and military for profit. These are the two biggest issues in the country today.  Our conversion from a free market society to a fascist economic system is such a serious problem, the others are hardly worth discussing.

Take the refugee issue, for example. With a little thinking it is easy to understand the root of the issue.  Under the new fascist system, our poor have lost their purchasing power. It is really good for business to draw in as many immigrants as possible because they will have no choice but to spend every dime they earn. The dim wits in the liberal echo chambers have not figured this out. They prefer the romanticized image of ambitious people seeking freedom and opportunity. They are actually being drawn in for their collective purchasing power.

About Fantasy Free Economics

James Quillian independent scholar,free market economist,and teacher of natural law. Who is James Quillian? Certainly I am nobody special, Just a tireless academic and deep thinker. Besides that, I have broken the code with respect to economics and political science. Credentials? Nothing you would be impressed with. I am not a household name. It is hard to become famous writing that virtually no one in the country is genuinely not in touch with reality. But, if I did not do that, there would be no point in my broking the broken the code. If you read the blog, it is easy to see that there are just a few charts, no math and no quantitative analysis. That is not by accident. Given what I know, those items are completely useless. I do turn out to be highly adept at applying natural law. Natural law has predominance over any principles the social science comes up. By virtue of understanding natural law, I can debunk, in just a few sentences , any theory that calls for intervention by a government. My taking the time to understand the ins and outs of Keynes General Theory is about like expecting a chemistry student to completely grasp all that the alchemists of the middle ages thought they understood in efforts to turn base metals into goal. Keynesian theory clearly calls for complete objectivity. Government can only make political decisions. Keynesian techniques call for economic decisions. So, why go any further with that? Fantasy Free Economics is in a sense a lot like technical analysis. Technical analysis began with the premise that it was impossible to gain enough information studying fundamentals to gain a trading advantage. Study the behavior of investors instead. Unlike technical analysis, I don't use technical charts. What I understand are the incentives of different people and entities active in the economics arena. For example, there is no such thing as an incentive to serve with life in the aggregate. In the aggregate, only self interest applies. It is routinely assumed otherwise. That is highly unappealing. But, I am sorry. That is the way it is. I can accept that because I am genuinely in touch with reality. Step one in using Fantasy Free Economics is for me to understand just how little I really know. A highly credentialed economist may know 100 times what I do based on the standard dogma. Compare the knowledge each of us has compared to all there is to know and we both look like we know nothing at all. There is always more than we don't know than what we do know. I am humble enough to present myself on that basis. Why? That is the way it is. I am not bad at math. I have taught math. What I understand is when to use it and when to rely on something else. Math is useless in natural law so I don't use it. While others look at numbers, I am busy understanding the forces in nature that makes their numbers what they are. That gives me a clear advantage.
