Participant[quote=Arraya]he… It’s not postmodern thinking – that, essentially, there is no objective truth. Actually, I find postmodernism flawed and somewhat repugnant. Though, I will say that modern economics is becoming postmodern. I laugh, because I wrote a paper on how postmodernism was crap years ago.
And don’t get me wrong, I think most economists are brilliant mathematicians and generally are trying to make the world a better place.[/quote]
We agree with respect to post modernism then, although I feel like you went a little to far with the last statement…”Most”…hmmm…how about “some.” Or am I now being to cynical? Oh well, maybe now I am cool!
ParticipantHow come there is such a strong vein of postmodernist thinking here? Just because all economic theories are short sighted and overly simplistic does not warrant the far reaching cynicism I am reading on this thread…
All models are flawed, and all people who come up with them over prescribe their simple models to the world we live in.
Is it just considered naive to agree with aspects of models/economic assumptions? Or is it just cooler to sit in the cheap seats and cast stones?
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Not all economic theories are political hackery.

Participant[quote=AN][quote=captcha][quote=AN]Snowboarding/skiing is not a cheap sport…[/quote]
Unless you live 30 minutes from a resort :)[/quote]
Please tell me, what’s more expensive, renting a cabin and share w/ a group of friends or the lift tickets, boards, boots, bindings, jacket, pants, etc. Even if you don’t have to rent a place, how much does it cost to buy the gear and getting lift tickets at a nice mountain?[/quote]When you live near a resort, you buy a 300 dollar pass and ski as much or as little as the conditions prompt you to go… or if are up for it, backcountry is free…except for gear of course. Now if you only go twice a year, the lift tickets and rentals bite no matter what.
