------Or why some economists should be damned
Last week I went to GMU to attend the annual conference outreach of the Center
for the Study of Public Choice. Meeting the usual suspects like James Buchanan
and Gordon Tullock is a pleasure (pictures will be posted later), althouth
they are old and communiting with them is not as easy as I would have hoped.
And of course I do not always share their perspectives. The mo | X****r 发帖数: 3557 | 2 just out of curiousity, what's the exact rule of the game?
Can you see how much other people individually invest in public account?
can you talk to other people and make deals?

因为当社会科学试图告诉人你就是符合这个那个规律的时候,
它其实就是暗示人:你没有自由。
从而让人们忘记并渐渐失去寻求自由的能力,人就是这样被催眠的了。
科学本质上不能研究“自由”,
因为自由就是没有规律,
没有规律就没有办法科学性地研究。
当然我不是说人类能绝对自由,
但是人总有那么一点自由(象个奇点)没办法研究。

| c********y 发帖数: 98 | 5 This is an interesting perspective. But if Buchanan is right, then people
would respond to a (unrobust) social theory that attempt to describe their
behavior.In other words, Buchanan thinks there is freedom of choice on
agents'part. A robust social science theory is one that cannot be caught up
with by the agents that the theory attempts to describe.

lawlessness. For example, for Locke, freedom of nature still operates within
the boundary of the law of nature. For Kant, to be free is to follow our
rational principles (morality, or categorical imperatives), rather than our
desires.
