If astrologists had institutional power it would be a nightmare, it’s only fun when not taken seriously at all.

Economists: Am I a joke to you?

A lot of modern economists remind me, outside of their priestly function, of the court astrologers of Imperial China who would be like “My Lord, the stars tell me that you must reorganize the dispensation of the salt monopoly to my wife’s cousin’s son’s control, lest we should, in 2000 years hence, be ruled by Winnie the Pooh’”.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it’s a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we’ll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
