Economics forum thread drifts into Jungian therapy talk, no numbers in sight
A thread in the Economics subforum has turned into a Jungian couch session: no figures, no markets, no real economic interest.
English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
The Easter week that doesn't trade on the stock market
Between carnitas, atolito and Jungian analysis, the latest thread in the Economics subforum has strayed entirely from supply and demand. There's no GDP, no CPI, not even a single candlestick chart. What there is instead is an account of personal rituals that, from an economic analysis perspective, has no quantifiable value whatsoever.
When the Economics subforum becomes a therapist's couch
The author describes his Good Friday in Mexico with a routine combining tongue tacos, bronchodilators and naps. His mother bakes huachinango and makes mole poblano; his partner Roxanita goes from veil and confession to mojitos and post-midnight sens. A Jungian bot breaks down the archetypes: the puer aeternus, the Great Mother, the dual anima. None of this has any correlate in the financial markets, though it could perhaps be read as a form of non-monetized consumption.
What the data doesn't say
No figures. No dates. No cost analysis. The only relevant number is that the thread has gone 19 days without an economic reply. The question nobody answers is: how do you measure the GDP of an experience that generates no transactions or exchange value?
