Math is for useless things like solving Diophantine equations or playing with primes. I will not have math slandered by associating it with applications.
Economics is the fakest science ever. It’s just perpetuating the capitalist scheme. Don’t waste your time learning it. It’ll all be irrelevant in the end anyways.
Son of math and sociology
Most of the time it’s just people working backward from whatever conclusion suits their politics.
Marx was an economist too
He was the economist
No. Economics is the child of math, not a sibling. It’s only half math. The other parent is philosophy/creative writing. That’s how you end up with the myth of barter and trickle-down, the stuff based on speculative storytelling, that refuse to listen to math.
I like the variations
Agriculture is only 12,000 years old. I suspect there are many more possible levels.
Laugh while you can, number boy.
99% of the time it’s just astrology for men.
Economics is the math of political science.
Economics:
Let’s turn this
Into this!
That’s capitalism. There are other forms of economics.
Yeah but capitalist economics is all that they teach in the indoctrination system… Unless maybe you pay for it later in college.
And TBH the scientific credentials are pretty trash either way.
Math is doing the heavy lifting, economics is just borrowing the muscles and hoping no one notices. 😄
Any “scientific” field that produces Art Laffer is a fraud.
Dude isn’t even a low point in econ. People like him are the reason econ exists.
I actually would like economics more if I didn’t have dyscalculia.
well i seemingly have a very different viewpoint, because the most interesting economics bits are econometrics, essentially data science - the same things all other stem folks use to find the underlying distribution, estimators, their significance, finding the p value. Using this to model whole world is just as wrong as saying all of chem is solved by taking mendelev periodic table. sourely it works, and explains some stuff, but just knowing it does not predict all of chemistry. same way, for example ls-lm model (suppply demand curve) does not explain the whole world, and good economists do not claim they can explain it (sorry for using bad examples, 1 only took 2-3 eco courses).
wins a Nobel
If math had emotions
