Comment on Barkley R...If you can’t make it, fake it<br />Comment on Barkley Rosser’s ‘A Half Century Since Apollo 11 Launched To The Moon’<br /><br />Famous scientific non-achievements in economics and elsewhere:<br /><br />• Profit Theory ― provably false for 200+ years,<br /><br />• Walrasian microfoundations ― provably false for 140+ years,<br /><br />• Keynesian macrofoundations ― provably false for 80+ years,<br /><br />• application of elementary mathematics in macroeconomics/national accounting ― provably false for 80+ years,<br /><br />• human space travel beyond low earth orbit and moon-landing and fooling around in a −298/+224 F vacuum ― physically/technically impossible for 50 years.<br /><br />The failed scientist and applause troll, attention/reputation manager, political agenda pusher, crime hunter (“He is guilty guilty guuilty”), academic busybody, storyteller, and False-Hero-Memorial builder Barkley Rosser does not get tired of parroting proto-scientific nonsense and dispersing fake news. Not only about economics, where he understands nothing, but also about physics, where he understands even less.<br /><br />With regard to scientific credibility in general and Barkley Rosser’s, in particular, it is worth noting that economists have to this day not realized that Keynes’ elementary macroeconomics, i.e. “Income = value of output = consumption + investment. Saving = income − consumption. Therefore saving = investment.”, is materially and logically defective. The correct relationship is Q=I−S with Q as macroeconomic profit.<br /><br />Economists have the Age of scientific/cultural/political Enlightenment still before them.<br /><br />Egmont Kakarot-HandtkeAXEC / E.K-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402274109039114416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-16663262796186680012019-07-20T01:33:03.139-04:002019-07-20T01:33:03.139-04:00And now we are at the actual anniversary of the la...And now we are at the actual anniversary of the landing.

For me it was the Apollo 8 mission and that image of the round earth with a reading from Genesis that always grabbed me more than the actual moon landing itself. The under-50 crowd cannot appreciate the political background at the time and why those three Apollo missions were special.2slugbaitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763897441056512506noreply@blogger.com
