I'm not gonna lie. I did not have much expectations but you still managed to disappoint me. Dude. You went back to square one all by yourself. 

Your response is going to be "convenient," and believe me, I did have a response. But I'm done haha 

Hint: Acceptable (scientific/social scientific/philosophical/logical questions) include words such as why, how, or what. For instance, why did the well-being of people improve? Could it be that capitalism - or could it be state intervention? Starting from there, we could have had an interesting discussion. Another question would be, how do we continue improving? There could have been stuff there to discuss. Maybe you had interesting thought. 

Double hint: Saying that one, small argument that hardly anyone makes is no longer an argument, is not an argument in itself. 

I see that's what you (and many here) wish to talk about.  The capitalism vs. socialism debate.  However, the next question could be about tariffs, immigration, automation, outsourcing, subsidies, etc.  Things that are not necessarily left and right.

Your "What's the next question?" pretty much had me stumped because there are so many ways to go.  But you seem to think that it's just this one topic (scientifically for some reason).  I, on the other hand, just see deconstructing a myth as something to accomplish in and of itself because it's useful moving forward in general.  Not just within a single topic.

I see what you are saying, truly. My posts here had an agenda to try to discuss why you think the things mentioned in this video and the thread were a myth. 

The problem when it comes to social realities is that there are so many sources of information that it is difficult to actually prove one's point. The next best way is to tap into the actual logic and see where the roots of the argument comes from, and see if that actually makes sense. It's not actually as easy to separate "myth" from everything you are trying to discuss.
