In what way is this not an ad hominem?

Which of his specific points are you disagreeing with?

What platitudes?

What are examples of his writings or talks where he is not clear to you?

- like i said, it IS an ad hominem

- i didn't say i disagree. in fact i find no argument (except from the fairytale part that really isnt worth discussing) (PS @ameetgaitonde sums it up pretty nicely, really nothing more to say)

- The supposed recap of recent history, full with affectionate dimunitives like maggie. It's just bad writing

- Again, everything. I ve read a lot. Can you point one article that has an actual point? His articles are the GPT-3 of economics.

And i mean, its not just me, none of the comments here are about the text. Perhaps because theres nothing to talk about there.

I think incangold was implying you were spouting ad hominem.

I want to say this about the GPT-3 of economics, but I forgot! Glad I am not the only one!
