What do Austrians do for fun?

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.

I mean, apart from discussing economic theory and reading philosophy. Hobbies are welcome, too.

I'll start it off- I have no fun.

If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH

I suppose those music threads are work, huh?  cheeky

Beer, movies, tv, very occasionally a novel, hang out with people.  The usual.

You posted in Hashem's music thread!  And you said that you only read economics and philosophy for fun, and nothing else!

Well, yeah. I didn't think posting on the forums here was unexpected. I also vaguely remember reading Mises say this among the early portions of Human Action,

Truth is I thought it mattered. I thought that music ... mattered. But does it? Bollocks! Not compared to how people matter.

With regards to nothing else, I eat food and watch tv from time to time but I don't exactly call them fun.

I don't have much time for fun. However, I do play classical piano and I'm building a programming language on the side. YMMV

I actually violate the law of decreasing marginal utility, so I go with anything, really. And I just get happier and happier! :DDDDD

Theoretically: Play Guitar, Work on my Car, Ride Motorcycles, Play Video Games, Play Disc Golf, Drink Beer, Play Trivia

Actually: Play Guitar, Work on my Car, Ride Motorcycles, Play Video Games, Play Disc Golf,  Drink Beer, Play Trivia, Get Fat
