It all seems to be an illusion.
I try to see this hand that is said to be real.
It's said to be invisible.
So is it a myth?
Or is it real?
Is being invisible a reality?
Are ideas nothing more than illusions?
Are they kinds of myths?
Driving what we call reality?
Is the invisible hand a myth?
Are ideas simply a brain's way of thinking?
Is that invisible hand a fiction?
Or...
Is being invisible a reality?
Am I really free to answer that question?
Am I free to stop breathing?
Could economics be a myth or empirical fact?
More or less real than any other experience?
Do I have a choice whether or not to do something?
Is determinism true?
Is morality an illusion?
Is the invisible hand make-believe?
Should I use praise or blame?
Should I admire or show contempt?
Should I approve or disapprove?
Or should it all be eradicated?
Is the invisible hand moral?
Am I free to choose?
Choose between courses of action?
Do I enjoy freedom of will?
It seems to be invisible.
Is the hand make-believe?
Does money mean doing what I want to do?
Or what I ought to do?
Opposed to what I have to do?
It to seems to be invisible
Is the invisible hand make-believe?
Does money imply autonomy?
Does it distinguish from subservience or natural inclination?
Is choice a free decision that I make?
Where does money belong?
Economics seems to be invisible.
Does it belong to the world of science?
Or is it outside the reach of its laws?
Do I inhabit the material realm?
Or is it the realm of freedom where I live?
It all seems to be invisible.
Do I exist outside of space and time?
Do I have free choices within space and time?
Can I act in violation of such laws?
Is the material world the only world I live in?
Is there something else?
Does it influence all the choices I make?
Is materialism wrong?
Does the invisible hand even exist?
It all seems to be an illusion.

  • tell me the song please?

  • @darkeye123321 what do you mean by 'the song'? The words are mine, the 'song', beats, effects from iMovie, animation by me using coreldraw 11 - a background program that most don't know about, voice by me. Does that answer your question?

  • That's interesting the substitution of words, it reminds of the concept of 'framing', the unseen ideas we humans carry around with us in our subconscious. Economics is really hard to fathom without an understanding of its history. There's a great book, published in 1944 but still very current that I recommend: The Great Transformation - The Political and Economic Origins of Our Times, by Karl Polanyi. It really helps in understand how we got to the place we are at today.

  • is this for economics? invisible hand by adam smith?

  • @UOTLTube yes - Smith could not for see what the massive growth of human population and multinational market capitalism would do to the ecosystem of the planet. He lived in a time when trees were considered the enemy in the U.S., when the bison of the plains of the U.S. were in the way of progress and growth. The future of the planet as we know it is up for grabs, the concept of an invisible hand no longer works, but the irrational assumption that it does can no longer stand assessment.

  • If Adam Smith had used the term "God" instead of "invisible hand", we would all be asking who was Adam Smith.
