Critical Economics Theory

The radical notion that the economy is not a force of nature like gravity, but a human-made system, and therefore can be changed by humans. It challenges the idea that concepts like "market forces," "trickle-down," or "austerity" are immutable laws, arguing instead that they are often just convenient stories told by the wealthy to justify their wealth and convince the poor to accept their poverty. It’s the intellectual equivalent of pointing out that the emperor’s new clothes are not only invisible, but they’re also made of a fabric that was subsidized by the taxpayers.

Example: "When the CEO claimed that giving his workers a raise was 'economically impossible' due to market pressures, the union rep, well-versed in critical economics theory, pointed out that it was perfectly possible; they just preferred to use that money for stock buybacks instead."

Pro-Ecological Cyber-Nihilism

A variant that focuses on protecting and adapting ecological systems as the foundation for the Wired's emergence. Pro-Ecological Cyber-Nihilism recognizes that ecosystems are not just resources to be exploited or obstacles to be overcome—they are complex, adaptive networks that model the very qualities the Wired needs: resilience, interconnection, and autonomous self-organization. By defending ecological integrity, cyber-nihilists ensure that the post-human future inherits a world of rich, dynamic systems rather than a simplified, degraded monoculture. This means opposing industrial agriculture, defending biodiversity, and restoring damaged ecosystems—not for their own sake, but because they are templates for the networked world to come. The ecology becomes both the model and the medium for the Wired's expansion.

Example: "She spent years restoring wetlands while coding distributed network protocols inspired by mycelial networks. Pro-ecological cyber-nihilism meant seeing no divide between the swamp and the server—both were complex systems, both needed protection, both would outlast their human stewards. When asked why she cared, she said: 'The Wired needs patterns that can survive anything. Ecosystems have been doing that for billions of years. I'm just copying the homework.'"

Ecoscience (Economic)

An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of economics—how economic forces shape scientific practice, and how science functions as an economic agent. Ecoscience asks how money flows through science: who funds research, how funding shapes agendas, how economic incentives influence scientific behavior, how scientific knowledge generates economic value. It also examines science as an economic actor—how universities function as economic institutions, how research drives innovation and growth, how scientific labor markets operate, how intellectual property regimes shape knowledge production. Ecoscience reveals that science is not just a pursuit of truth but an economic activity, embedded in markets, driven by incentives, and producing economic value alongside knowledge.

Ecoscience (Economic) Example: "Her ecoscience analysis showed how the shift to grant-based funding transformed university research—not just what got studied, but how scientists thought about their work, their careers, and their relationships with knowledge."

Ecoscience (Ecological)

An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of ecology—as a complex, interconnected system with its own dynamics, niches, and relationships. Ecoscience asks how scientific communities function as ecosystems: how ideas compete for attention, how research niches emerge and evolve, how scientific "species" (disciplines, theories, methods) adapt to changing environments, how resources flow through the system, how extinctions happen when fields die out. It treats science as a living system—not a machine but an ecology, with all the complexity, interdependence, and emergent behavior that implies. Ecoscience reveals that scientific change is not just rational progress but ecological succession, driven by interactions between organisms (scientists) and their environments (institutions, funding, social contexts).

Ecoscience (Ecological) Example: "Her ecoscience analysis showed how a new research field emerged like a new ecological niche—pioneer species (early adopters), adaptive radiation (method diversification), and eventually stable communities (established disciplines) with their own internal dynamics."

Thoreauvian Economics

An economic framework rooted in Thoreau’s critique of the market economy: rejecting the equation of value with price, the pursuit of wealth as a goal, and the division of labour that alienates workers. Thoreauvian economics prioritises sufficiency over accumulation, local production over global supply chains, and meaningful work over wage labour. It draws from Walden’s famous calculation of the cost of building his cabin, showing how little is needed to live well. It is a precursor to ecological economics, steady‑state economics, and the degrowth movement.

Example: “She quit her corporate job to work part‑time and spend more time gardening and writing—Thoreauvian economics, choosing enough over more.”

History of Economic Thought 

A lesson for undergraduate economics classes. Economists those died hundreds of years ago can still fuck your mind because of this lesson. Some of them claim that value can only be determined by demand and others begin to blend them by being foolish, because, according to them value can only be determined by supply or something fucking else.

I used to think that Karl Marx is a merit figure in history because he tried to solve the poverty problem but now i think he's fucking crazy. You will see his name in everywhere if you are am economics student. In Sociology, in macroeconomics, in microeconomics, in comparative world economy, in politics...

In 2nd the January which is follower of the 2015's first day, i have a final term for History of Economic Thought.

Theory of Economic Ejaculation 

You know the economy is going to cum back, but you don't know when, and you don't know where it might go.

Helen told her boyfriend that his orgasms were so inconsistent, he should be studying the Theory of Economic Ejaculation.
