Luddition

Last week, Kenneth decided to try and coin a new term, “Luddition Through Economics”. Such a term basically means that someone is a luddite because they don’t have the money to not be one. I guess that describes me fairly well. Well, actually, it was coined to describe me.

Anyway, the discussion progressed to see if he could become the top hit for such a phrase. It shouldn’t have been hard because “Luddition” isn’t really a word. Well it is, we defined it as “the process of becoming a luddite”, but whatever. Anyway, so he’s now top hit on google for it.

So then the question is this, why am I writing about “Luddition through economics”. The answer is simple, I’m trying to see what it takes to knock him out of first place. This is a little Google experiment if you will.
