The rate at which the WR churns out idiocy and ignorance is amazing. Seriously top notch.
Please, you haven't even addressed this misapplication of Weber.True, but relating to what someone (I think Mini) was saying recently, the Austrian stuff might be as dumb as the racist stuff but it isn't as ugly. Greoric is funny in a way that ripskater or LI aren't. So if the group falls back to a bunch of community-college philosophy majors regurgitating arguments about how food stamps are tyranny, it becomes more fun and less disturbing than the Stormfront Lite WR.

At what point of being confronted with contradictory evidence does one conclude they've made a deductive fallacy?
Not really much need to retread old ground. A new question though, similar to one often posed to creationists, what evidence would cause you to reject your deductive arguments?We've been over this Dochter... Would you do the honors of extrapolating that accusation this time?

I already tried to pin Greoric down with a bet, which I won, but he simply denies the facts. I would do it again if there were a taker with more integrity. But it won't change anything.
You have a Christopher Hitchens avatar don't you dare call anyone a fucking idiot buddy.Well you're a fucking idiot. That is EXACTLY what it means to be authoritarian.

Wait... I think I remember that bet. Wasn't it about some timeline for a QE? Is the agreed upon period up already? What was the outcome?
But no, if GDP goes negative there is on net a destruction of capital. We've never seen that, and short of a catastrophic natural disaster we won't.
Don't get stuck on what you might think the graph is implying here, I'm actually about to attack that implication.
The change caused by the ARRA was in line with expectations. The baseline was worse than was estimated at the time of the chart. Bad example.

He said there would be another round of QE before the end of 2015 (and he also guaranteed no rate hike, but we didn't bet on that) and that YOY GDP growth would be negative (part of his "biggest crash ever" thread). When it became clear that he was going to lose, he pretended to have mistakenly thought that he was betting that the YOY Q4 GDP growth rate would be lower in 2015 than it was in 2014. I said that his claim sounded bizarre given the discussion but that I'd release him from the consequences of his loss.
Interestingly, later in the exchange where he backed out, he indicating that he didn't even know what GDP was. He also betrayed his finance guy act by demonstrating that he didn't even know what shorting was.
