No, it's the admission that ONE SPECIFIC thing can't be achieved in any worthwhile fashion because of the transaction costs: defeating the blackpill.
The poster I was answering wrote:
>How is Lookism a blackpill? Plastic surgery exists.
...and I'm arguing with specifically that. I can't defeat Lookism, because the transaction time to do so means that I won't be good looking when I'm young, and you only really defeat the blackpill if you defeat it when you are young. If you defeat the blackpill when you are 40, you still lost, because you can't undo the fact that IT BEAT YOU from the time you were 13 until you were 40.
Since I am not good looking NOW, I can never experience being young and good looking. That's already over. It is completely forestalled as a possibility, because of time time time time time.
I can do other things with my life and I can win in other ways, but I cannot win in THAT WAY. That is already over. So "plastic surgery existing" does not help me.
