Hey erikcason (nprofile…uly5), I was listening to you and HODL (nprofile…zk3a) on walker (nprofile…rm9g)'s pod.
You mentioned that you dove pretty deep on Marx prior to finding bitcoin.
I have read very little Marx directly, but I defaulted to the left early in life as well. (having gone through public school in CA)
Bitcoiners on average have a canniption if someone says Marx had some valid opinions.
My personal philosophy is that everyone has valid opinions. "Nobody is smart enough to be wrong all the time." - Ken Wiber
Ignoring opinions from people we disagree with is a representation of philosophical weakness in my opinion. Often stemming from (valid) fears.
The safer we become from communism/authoritarianism the more willing I feel to consider what my blind spots are.
Two questions I'd love to get into if you're interested:
1. How would you say Marx's theory differs from current day implementations of the left.
2. What valid opinions did he have and what could be learned from them?
