"Elite" as applied to sports. (Just read John Dewan, whom I generally like, refer to Jonathan LuCroy's "elite framing.") Isn't "excellent" good enough?

This is maybe where I should say that it took me several years to understand the thread title "Don't go back on your raisin" because I couldn't figure out what raisins had to do with anything.

Or the raisin thing, but I'm not really trying there.
I thought it was a Southern thing, but it might be just an Old Man thing.

And I'm fully on the record of not having either heard or having a clue what that raisin phrase meant before it was added into an ILX thread title.

"late capitalism" - sorry guys capitalism is going to be around regenerating itself and fucking up the earth forever
― example (crüt), Thursday, 12 March 2015 13:09 (nine years ago) link
i think its useful as a way of indicating that this is the last stage capitalism will be recognizable in its traditional form. the foundation of how a market works may stay the same but micro transactions, high frequency trading, 3d printing, online crowdfunding, automation/robotics etc (all phrases that annoy...) all point to a much more unrecognizable form that's clearly right around the corner. the generation born a few decades from now may not even recognize physical currency, which would be a pretty big break from everything thats come before.

"late capitalism" is pretty useful IMO, just not if you're using it in an apocalyptic way (like you're reading the tea leaves that it's doomed, doomed!). at the least, it's possible to have meaningful and interesting discussions about whether the term is applicable or whether the purported changes are just spatial (i.e. it's the same capitalism as before but many of its classical formations have been disappeared to Somewhere Else in globalization).

I've called my dog "pups" forever and have started referring to my baby the same way (though sometimes he's "bubs"). I'm doing it wrong all ways and in reverse.

"late capitalism" is permanently cursed with that Hegelian/Marxian conceit of predicting world history we should not still have to suffer through. These guys were lousy prophets. Anthropology exploded the idea that there are specific repeatable paths of cultural progress long ago. Find another term.
― Vic Perry, Sunday, 15 March 2015 16:33 (nine years ago) link
yeah sure, but a phrase that describes "thing that emerged somewhere in the last century, different from the capitalism observed by marx through lenin," divorced from the above, isn't without use.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:06 (nine years ago) link
basically you can actually use it productively in a conversation about something, which puts it wayyyyy above most of the stuff in this thread by default IMO.
― Doctor Casino, Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:07 (nine years ago) link
late capitalism is less obfuscatory than neoliberalism, which to me seems to imply that the exploitative elements of our current world system are due to something new, rather than just a reformulated capitalism

capitalism is a global system though. i think it makes sense to look at it as a whole instead of assuming that societies have their own culturally specific "capitalisms"
