Oddbean new post about login | logout I read Das Kapital after Smith's Wealth of Nations. I can't believe people think of these two as equal in philosophical prowess.
that’s the thing right? people (some people) think you’re just being mean or hyperbolic by saying Marx was kind of retarded. But that is being said, because he was actually kinda retarded.

They won't believe you, even though you've done the PoW by reading the literature. Instead of don't the work themselves, they'll just assume you're wrong, because consensus says that Marx is a great man of history.
