economic methodology

"Calculus has been so successful because of its extraordinary power to reduce complicated problems to simple rules and procedures".

No argument from me on this one. Thing is, calculus fails both in the realm of prediction of complex systems (because when we simplify we lose partial determinants), and also in the realm of the important, the non-tangible, the non-rigorous, calculus can not appreciate the beauty of the insane.

formation of economic discouse in bourgeois society

It seems that discussion of the system itself does not often enter the daily economic discussion of most in our system. One of the primary goals of a (pre)revolutionary then has to be not only to fight against a system of bourgeois domination but to make consistent and repeated attempts to have the language of revolution become a part of mainstream discourse. Currently discussions of change in the economics profession, and in broader economic discussions are predominately limited to how to change the system we have.

It may be unrealistic to think that this type of discussion can immediately be changed to a broad public acceptance of the discourse of revolution. I would instead suggest that a possible first step would be to push for wider linguistic usage of concepts surrounding why we have the system we do, and how it came into place. In my own (ongoing) development acceptance and usage of this discourse lead naturally to questions of why can we not have a system that is better than capitalism.
History stands tall for the revolutionary.

on postmodern spirituality

Spiritual fulfillment like most things loses its individual necessity when the totality is embraced. There is no need to find god for the individual, there is no personal quest. Becoming part of the social advancement lends itself to a certain acceptance that not only is the individual no more important than other individuals, the individual matters as a member of the whole.

All actions have innumerable ripples through space-time, so a personal belief that individuality shapes the totality can become enough. When all actions have by definition unforeseeable and unending consequences, the quest of the individual seeking eternal existence, or salvation, or both, becomes one of the individual participating in (contributing to) existence of the whole.

the race worth running even without a finish

Education is not about the knowledge to be acquired, it is about the process of acquiring it.

Social change is not about eliminating the problems of society but rather about choosing a new set of problems that are preferable for the revolutionary.

Just as science would die if a unified theory was finished, life (that is worth living) would die in a Utopian fantasy world.
