#hilarious that people dismiss EVERY OTHER social science but the one that routinely argues how the poor should just DIE

[timeisacephalopod]

Very funny when people disparage social sciences but treat economics as gospel as if economics isn't a social science. Point in nature where they care about GDP outside of humanity- the subject should be treated with the same amount of skepticism every other field is. Especially when economists famously think they know everything down to not thinking cross field research is useful to them while being treated as if they're physicists looking at hard data. And are also famously mostly white men, who to reiterate do not think others' knowledge holds value to them

I'm sure y'all can see the issue here

#winters ramblings #piss of an economist by telling them this. a rational one wont be mad on account of its TRUE #hilarious that people dismiss EVERY OTHER social science but the one that routinely argues how the poor should just DIE #like no not EVERY economic theory or practice is that but which ones do we actually try out and refuse to get rid of?? #just the kill the poor shit. #anyway next time someone insults my degree on the basis of it being a social science ill ask em how they feel about economics #then inform them of The Good News #unlearning economics on youtube has a video on the economists not thinking cross field research is useful #watch it its good
