It's ridiculous that some people consider economics a "science"

@supercow You’re entirely correct. Modern western economics is neoliberal economics, and is based on firmly philosophical principles about the role of the market in natural human behaviour.

Basically everything we are taught is rational for human beings, self interest and barter seeking, is 100% an ideological structure.

@supercow Me, an economist, to all health professionals back when COVID hit and all of a sudden "experts" were crawling out of the woodwork proclaiming to know better than all the medical advice: "first time?"

Stupid person is stupid. Go burn a 5G tower, bathe in essential oils, eat only capers for a year, sit by and watch your kids die of polio, or whatever the latest stupid people fad is.

@supercow Poilitics shouldnt be on the table. This is likely why we have been sluggish and will pay for it
