    That’s a matter of perspective, if it opens up the conversation to tangential subjects, ie me saying Marxism-Leninism has helped, then it’s still a useful conversation starter. Depends on what you want to get out of this post.

      I mean yeah in general, using a theoretical construct to enhance prediction accuracy is a good strategy I guess.

      I believe with better predictions we can have better lives in a uncertain world.

      What are your thoughts on prediction markets? Are they gambling?

        Yes, I guess so. As for Marxism-Leninism, it’s a tool for working class liberation and a frame of analysis, not really a construct.
