In light of last weeks discussion of Spooky action at a distance, and the Uncertainty principle, its united quite well in this outtake; Mises attempted to find the conceptual root of economics. Like other Austrian economists, he rejected the use of observation, saying that human actors are too complex to be reduced to their component parts and too self-conscious not to have their behaviour affected by the very act of observation. Observation of human action, or extrapolation from historical data, would thus always be contaminated by overlooked factors in a way that the natural sciences would not be. Self consciousness.......plays a significant role, and that completes the integrated holistic view of acting man. Validadted by Lundbergs study of binocular vision. Which subsequently undid Mises claim that the natural sciences could escape contamination by overlooked factors. humans are very much complex identities, not lab rats for the extrapolation of elitists summary judgements. Had Mises been living in a world like today, when quantum physics were subject matter close at hand, his views would adapt holisticlly with quantum perspectives. A person such as yourself living in a culture outside your principle enculturation, could benefit most from a full reading of Human Action. It would tie all of your missing information together in ways you could never again ignore. in my own study, rejecting marx hegel dialectics was easy post understanding of the nature of Human Action. you will never find a socialist marxist elitist who actually ventured there; as the socialists play out their lives using the dumb and dumber view of man, this allows for the propagandistic foundations of their elitist proclaimations. Von Mises restores the holistic view of man within systems, and moves beyond class hierarchies. Its embarrassing how little knowledge comes from the output of the socialists, on the one hand their fondness of proclaiming superiority is based on their willingness and habit to stop looking, beyond what affiliation with socialist ideas arrange for them. Comfort zone sophistry best describes their handicap. They function like a gang of thieves, proclaiming said righteousness and superiority, without any understanding of the essence and nature of their own missing information. They reject degrees of freedom, because they themselves prefer existence in a closed system where handicapped thinking is like handicapped parking....rewards, to be extrapolated by fiat in service to petty self interest..
