nirgrahamUK: is Lilburne the new Hazlitt ?
is Lilburne the new Hazlitt ?
Even asking such a question is a staggeringly generous compliment. Thanks man!
Whoa. Lew Rockwell just blogged my comics. Right after, I got like 20 hits in 5 minutes.
Dude remember the little guys when your famous!
LewRockwell.com blog references are usually good for 800 ~ 1000+ visits.
Nice of him to do that. The real benefit will come when other people re-blog and re-post your link. When it goes viral.
The next, and obvious, step for this project is to make these into youtube videos. Now that would be rad.
Congratulations!
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Lilburne: Whoa. Lew Rockwell just blogged my comics. Right after, I got like 20 hits in 5 minutes.
Awesome dude! You deserve it!
Thanks filc, LS, Santtu, Daniel, and Arvin.
Santtu I tried to export them from Keynote (Apple's PowerPoint), which is what I use to make them, into Flash, but without success. I will keep trying.
By the way, in order to support this project, since the system here doesn't support embedding, I'm moving Summa Anthropica over to Blogger. (It's new home is what is linked to by Mr. Rockwell's post.)
The new address is anthropica.blogspot.com. I've started the long process of transferring my content over there. My Mises Community Blog is still up, but the new stuff will be on Blogger.
Thanks for all the support and advice!
Okay I've got #1 up on YouTube. How is the timing of the frame advances? Is it okay with no audio? I also made some formatting changes to #1 and added a "Further Reading" bit at the end. Feedback would be much appreciated.
These are really great!
For the video, make the frame length shorter when there is less text to read, and longer when there is more. Fade-out transitions would also give the reader a moment's warning before the slide changes.
Why anarchy fails
AJ:These are really great!
Thanks AJ.
AJ:For the video, make the frame length shorter when there is less text to read, and longer when there is more.
I figured out how to use iMovie to adjust the frame lengths. I also added narration. Unfortunately now the text is all blurry.
Try uploading it to YouTube as a high definition video. If the text continues to be an issue, you might have to use a different font.
Daniel:Try uploading it to YouTube as a high definition video.
It's not YouTube. It's blurry on my computer too. It's just that the next highest video quality available in iMovie is over 3 GB, which is too big. I need something in between.

Really? iMovie sucks for that. Do you have access to Premiere or Final Cut Pro? Or can you export the slides into a flash file?
No, I don't have either of those. Maybe I'll try Flash.
Lilburne: No, I don't have either of those. Maybe I'll try Flash.
Might have to do with the resolution of the pics, or their quality? Something better than jpg surely. lol
Here's Issue #2 with narration...
I finally found time to finish issue #5. (Note: read the Adam Smith part with the thickest Scottish accent you can imagine to get the full effect.)
Your link sends us to issue #4.
Here's the link to #5.
when the history of the libertarian renaissance is written, I will be able to say that I knew it's petrarch.
I'm still going through it, but on slide 16, you have Turgot as being born and dying before Christ. Haha. Everything else is great so far.
Epic. Hahah @ Krugermon
Great as usual.
Le Master: Your link sends us to issue #4. Here's the link to #5.
Oops! Thanks for the correction!

LOL, with the lifespan I gave him he'd have been rough contemporaries with Hammurabi. Talk about pre-Austrian!
Conza88: Epic. Hahah @ Krugermon Great as usual.
Thanks Conza.

I guess that means you liked it?
Thanks for the overwhelmingly generous compliment!

It's up on Facebook now too.
I almost died when I saw Paul Krugman. WE'RE SCIENTISTS! You should add a "LOL" before that comment, in my opinion.
I think you should do something with Say's law. It would give you another opportunity to include Keynes, which is always good.
"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."
Esuric:I almost died when I saw Paul Krugman. WE'RE SCIENTISTS!
The Krugman photoshop job BK Marcus did for my Second Coming of Keynes article was perfect for that slide! The spirit of Keynes from issue 4 is also from that same image.
For my next issue, can anyone direct me to Mises' fullest refutation of cardinal value and "utils"?
Lilburne: For my next issue, can anyone direct me to Mises' fullest refutation of cardinal value and "utils"?
Theory of Money and Credit, chapter 2 (ON THE MEASUREMENT OF VALUE), parts 1, 2, and 3 (the immeasurability of subjective use-values, total value, and Money as a price index). There's some stuff in Chapter 7 (THE CONCEPT OF THE VALUE OF MONEY) as well.

Awesome. THANKS!
Let me know if you want me to edit together the video.
I recommend a terse explanation of ordinal and cardinal values beforehand.
Daniel:Let me know if you want me to edit together the video
Thank you, Daniel, for editing the Human Action Comics videos #1 and #2.
For issue #3, I've updated the slides and narrated the head-to-head match between Smith and Menger and uploaded it to YouTube. If you could work your resolution-improving magic on that one too, that would be awesome. Thanks SO much.
Krugman:Ooh boy, now we're scientists!
GOLD
I've added 15 new slides on economic growth to Issue #4 (slides 35-50), and renamed it "Capital and Economic Growth". Please let me know if it gets across the concepts well. Thanks!
I've loved all the comics and the addition is great. It makes the point you are making much more clear. Thanks much for putting these all together. I hope to use them to get some family and friends interested in economics.
Jonathan Nebel:It makes the point you are making much more clear.
Excellent, thanks!

Music to my ears!

Or, as Krugman's hero Keynes would have said, "BARBAROUS RELIC".
