Do I need to repost the responses I got in the AE perspective on trade thread?
Morons going: "HERP DERP if Tom trade $1 for Steve's $10 how is he better off?"
I have 100% no problem having a reasoned debate with a couple of people in a thread. But I am not going to engage in a flame war with a dozen morons are making posts which clearly indicate they have read zero of the relevant subject matter.

"But surely you can admit that there are certainly times when people are made worse off by trading"
Not at all. I think getting beaten with a spiked wooden paddle and getting choked are both horrible and should be avoided. But that does not mean that when I see someone voluntarily paying a women to perform such actions I can conclude that are "worse off".
"shouldn't you be similarly unwilling to say they are better off?"
I only claim to suggest that from that persons own perspective they are better off. Nothing else is relevant.

do you even consider the possibility that the person you're debating might have something to teach you?
that you might have room to learn and grow as an intellectual?
or is it always "I'm the expert, I'll prove them wrong"?

If that article has already been totally refuted by others, why would I need to post my own response?

Oh. Okay. I mean no one ever has perfect information, of course. So no one has information, then?
So what's this claim about being better off at that instant in time? By "better off at that instant in time" do you merely mean you feel better about, like, yourself and your life for at least an instant--however long that's supposed to be?
Completely tabling a discussion about whether what you've just put forward is, you know, useful or non-insane, you can see why people were a little confused by language like "better off," right? It's not like most folks, even smart ones, think "better off" inheres completely within the mind, without reference to external things. I mean, sure, some smart people do, but it's not exactly intuitive.

"Oh. Okay. I mean no one ever has perfect information, of course. So no one has information, then? "
Nobody has perfect information, but also, you cannot say someone has "poor" information. You can only speak in relative terms (i.e. A has less info than B on product X).
"useful or non-insane, you can see why people were a little confused by language like "better off," right? It's not like most folks, even smart ones, think "better off" inheres completely within the mind, without reference to external things. I mean, sure, some smart people do, but it's not exactly intuitive."
Yes, there is little doubt that people have been indoctrinated to believe that there is an objective sense out there that determines things like "Better off". This falls within the same realm of people talking about "Greater Good", "Utility" and "What is best for other people". Same sort of nonsense stems from this inability to recognize that it is subjective and that these assertions cannot be made.
