It may help to think of accounting as the mathematics of property of finance as the physics and engineering of property of economics as the meteorology of property. This only works as long as most people carefully avoid noticing the introduction of anti-realist poison into their thoughts: as long as repentance is avoided at all costs. Nominalist pseudo-categories conflating things rooted in reality with what human subjects want, intend, or expect are absolutely necessary for the lie to continue.

Look at the conflation of committed self-sacrifice with fickle and fleeting emotions, both under the label ‘love’.Īnd continue looking from there, because the most important thing that waking up to the obvious examples shows is that we can be fooled by the obvious. Look at the conflation of self sacrifice (what a husband and father owes his family) with authority (the obedience the family owes to the father), and the labeling of these entirely unlike things ‘mutual submission’.

Look at the more subtle conflation of ‘dating’ and serial fornication (as opposed to parallel fornication, which is Really Bad, at least for now) with marriage. Look at the manifest conflation of the masculine with the feminine. In sex, analogously, look at the manifest conflation of sodomy with intercourse. So the thing to look for, if you really want to take the economic version of the ‘red pill’, are the places where metaphysically anti-realist finance marbles together the irreducibly real with the purely subjective into a thing it calls ‘cake’, and which it says we must all eat. As with all lies anti-realist economic systems would fall apart immediately if they were pure nothingness: if there were not some anchor in reality. (This is true in moral theology as well, where the morality of human action cannot be reduced to nothing but subjective intentions). A realist perspective, in contrast, does not deny the importance of the subjective and psychological but recognizes that there is an irreducibly objective aspect at work too.

What you may notice is that this often involves abstracting together unlike things as if they were the same kind of thing: securitizing unreality, if you will, at least metaphorically speaking but sometimes literally. The thing that distinguishes anti-realist economic theories from a realist theory of economics, which as far as I know does not exist, is that anti-realist theories attempt in various critical places to reduce value and/or property to nothing but the projection of subjective human intentions, understandings, preferences, will, or desire. Every lie has to have some grounding in the truth in order to get any traction at all although the more lies take hold, the less that is the case. The sodomite’s understanding of reality is not comprehensively wrong in every respect: his understanding is a distorted and disordered view of reality, not a beaker of distilled and purified falsity. There are true things which can be learned even from wrong theories: stopped clocks and all that. This becomes immediately rather ridiculous to sane and well adjusted onlookers, because directly and explicitly rejecting reality is something that it takes a peculiarly pointy-headed intellectual form of sociopathic stupidity to do.Īnti-realist economic theories (which is to say, all existing economic theories of which I am aware) therefore are not entirely disconnected from reality.
#REASONABLE DOUBT ZIPPY VERIFICATION#
Postmodern theories look at the hopelessness of the positivist project – which is an anti-realist project, since it attempts to fully capture reality in formal representation, to reduce some demarcated part of reality to nothing but symbolic representation or a metaphysically neutral verification procedure – and pretend to give up on objective reality altogether. When I say that all modern economic theories (including the ones you like, not just the ones you dislike) are anti-realist, I do not mean that they are postmodern. Reality always asserts itself, so nobody can get away with comprehensively ignoring reality all the time. Dante did not put usurers and sodomites into the same circle of Hell by accident.
