    I love how Adam Smith was literally mocking market absolutists when he coined the term “invisible hand”. Like he was mocking people who believed the market was a self regulating divine entity, and likened how they saw the market regulating itself to how god would “regulate” nature, with his “invisible hand”.

    None of these nerds ever read Adam Smith and keep using his words to support them…
