He's got a staggering IQ and you think he dismisses Keynesians "just because"?

When cleverer people than me state something, I listen, and do my research.

Keynes is the Jesus of leftist atheists.

They never question him, they don't want to know what others said about him and how those around perceived him, and most importantly, they don't want to actually study his teachings, only as presented by vicars (those speaking on behalf of Keynes).

Because of course, just like the best antidote against a religion is its holy book, the best antidote against Keynesianism is reading Keynes.

Nash says something like "even post keyensians" are really just Keynesians, which is funny but also shows how radically and tangentially he is thinking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je22xKQekCk

Whats most significant and interesting here is that he came up with the concept of ideal money in the 60's when he was labelled paranoid delusional and fled to Europe.
