if the world's top economist...

[UncleBuck]

Use it or lose it.

so, not working means the economist is no longer capable of using his base of knowledge?

that doesn't make sense. unemployed carpenters can still do carpentry just like economists who quit their jobs can still make economic forecasts and predictions.

 

[Samwell Seed Well]

Bucky,
I'm sorry. But I can't take a dude seriously who's on food stamps, even by choice on what our economy should do. I hardly doubt any sane person would. Even other homeless would laugh.

there we go, the human factor of perception, to bad its a fallacy

like . .teachers cant do so they teach . . . . . its a logical fallacy and hold no weight in a real debate

 

[RyanTheRhino]

Yes because therory = laboring . Not to mention the carpenter will get rusty.


So yes

 

[Samwell Seed Well]

Yes because therory = laboring . Not to mention the carpenter will get rusty.


So yes

have you ever worked a blue collar job in your life


its called muscle memory and well generally not being a retard,if you cant remember how to do what you once did a month ago or a year ago today then you are just not very good at retaining information

i haven't ridden a bike in years, i buy one tomorrow, ill be riding just as i was 3 years ago or any other lapse in time of use

you people are retarded

 

[UncleBuck]

Yes because therory = laboring . Not to mention the carpenter will get rusty.


So yes

so is there some law written that carpenter's can't keep doing carpentry projects around the house if they're not working for someone?

is there a law saying economists can't stay abreast of all relevant information and keep their knowledge current if they are not working for someone else?

you're trying to make a mutual exclusion where none exists.

That was why I said theory~=laboring guess that was not sarcastic enough. You lose theory fast when you don't use it.

But I'm guessing you never worked a white collar job. And my first job was burger king then steel construction .

 

[Dr Kynes]

this discussion puts me in mind of Les Paul.

he was in fact one of the finest guitarists alive till a car crash shattered his arm irreparably.

did he give up? fuck no! he told the docs to set his arm in a permanent position right where his pickin hand should be.

checkem.

the best never give up.

are you flipping your nose up at blue collar workers?

 

[RyanTheRhino]

Nope , just being a dick back to a dick response.

And I'm referring to more of a white coat worker. Like scientists economists others that deal with theory . So do those jobs have higher respect I would say they do.


And even though I flipped burgers I still aimed to be the best sandwich maker there.

tell me more about these sandwiches...

SLOWLY!

ya not really, you must be one of those i p-ay others to do my labor kinda man, cause you forgot how to swing a hammer or use a drill, or maybe its the basic math part you cant figure out, the kind of guy who forgets what day of teh week it is if he doesn't have is Smart phone or work scheduled to remind him . . to many idiots in this world relying on something else other then themselves to get by . .

in the last 12 years i have been homeless, in jail and a homeowner who earned two trade degrees, i worked construction, and mechanics jobs and night work as a server to make my way, i can say with utmost certainty i will never forget how to build most anything, im not a dullard or fairwether employee, im good 100% not on my good days when i feel like applying myself

your the idoit if you think the engineer is more important then the worker, they are completely and uterly equal, one cant be without the other, you effing elitist fascist pig

 

[RyanTheRhino]

You are still going to know your stuff a few days or even a month after you stop using it. But you won't have it on the top of your head. Your theory starts to lose focus when you leave the feild. You will always know how to build a shed because its physical. You can feel it you can see it, it has been written down. Theories are abstract and come and go and the longer you stay unfocused the fuzzier the connections between them become.



If the economist stays ontop of things he can delay this , but unless you stay In the feild to see the constant effect your thoughts become static.

Could some one stay ontop of things so profoundly that this will not happen. Yes it is possible do you think he will be spending more time now then when it was his job?

 

[UncleBuck]

If the economist stays ontop of things he can delay this...

and there is nothing preventing him from doing so. your earlier logic seemed to exclude this possibility.

from a fellow math guy who knows how much logic is involved in math, i found that surprising coming from you.

I do all the shit around my house. The only things I don't is HVAC and cars. My grandfather was a machinist who taught me many things. His memory lives on in the shop he left my father
and that is where I found my connection to engineering from a blue collar worker.

What do you want me to say , sorry you had a shitty life so far and I hope it gets better.

Idk I feel bad now, I guess I just like what I do so much I want others to, but it comes off snobby?

the plight of the white collar worker.

That's why I love this site. You only get threads like this from stoners.

thank you, im thirty, not a heroin addict anymore and i own a house able to support myself my father and my girl(as she is in school)and i still work a regular job when they are offered, i do consulting data entry and seasonal welding work

but you dont need to be sorry, my parents have 5 PHD's between them i never wanted to be an academic for a reason, and i also like my life and jobs very much

i would never dare tell you your work is valued less then mine, i have tact

So, did the economist catch the butterfly or is this just some kind of theoretical pursuit?

 

[UncleBuck]

So, did the economist catch the butterfly or is this just some kind of theoretical pursuit?

it's a hypothetical question designed to ensnare stubborn idiots.

for the sake of this question, let's suppose the economist did catch many butterflies.
