Meta's sense of humor.
Lewis Black tinged with Lee Evans.

And some Frankie Boyle for good measure.

OT: Physical sciences stump me.

I like to think I make up for it with an understanding in politics, philosophy and economics though.

Why are you always so mad about everything?
You would be too if you could comprehend the issues there are to be mad about.

Verb is the only one on this forum who truly understands me.

That's twice I've been in this thread.

The second time only because I forgot what was in here.

That is why they call me ol' slipdick.
No, you call yourself slipdick because you're looking for an excuse as to why you can't grab it, when the actual issue is its infinitesimal size.

what is your personal solution to the prisoner's dilemma

ie. if you were one of the prisoners, what would you do
If I were one of the prisoners? Nash equilibrium suggests I should defect, but Pareto efficiency would have me co-operate. Actual prisoners tend to be highly co-operative when actually posed with the dilemma, but the model itself (if I understand it correctly; game theory isn't my strong point) overlooks a number of behavioural biases. They may well have more to gain by defecting in terms of the rewards in front of them (cigarettes, when actually studied) but being known as a snitch in such a culture is sure way to get got so I'd say they acted rationally.

Were I doing it, however, I'd probably defect. Simply because I'm ambitious to a fault.

do you have any peers offline with whom you discuss these matters with, or are you alone

perhaps your parents?
Alas, I am alone but for my books.

My parents are dolts, and even the smartest among my friends have no grasp of economics.

Although I do wander onto r/economics, occasionally. It's a decent sub-reddit and the mods are actual economists so there's some good discussion.

How do you feel that you'll just get a job in retail anyway?
I hope not.

I'd rather govern the Bank of England, and then crash the economy if the government won't do what I want them to.

But we'll see.

Explain why 2% inflation is optimal using words no longer than nine characters long.
Helps grease the wheels of the labour market, and combat nominal price rigidity.
Explain nominal price rigidity using words no longer than nine characters long.
The inability of prices to fall with demand, allowing the market to clear.

precisely what do you hate about noam chomsky and why

from what i hear, even his detractors respect him as an intellectual adversary
and obviously, i've taken a liking to him in my readings
Baby's first intellectual <- broadly sums up my views.

The guy's a fucking hack, and he should've stuck to linguistics. And yeah, he knows his political science, but he doesn't know economics. Chomsky's not a man for solutions, unless his one solution is to do exactly what Chavez did and get to the point where even being a massive oil producer will not help your economy.

Chomsky's entire spiel is that the human race is so fucked, and people too stupid to realise the "propaganda" around them, that his fans need do nothing but buy his books and attend his speeches.

Because fuck you, I'm bored and pulling an all-nighter.

Should be interesting enough though, given how esoteric the subject is.
