Yeah. I thought it was pretty clever. It took a while get to the fonts to match.

Look up a certain PubMed article by dr Mary Tai and shit bricks.

Oh, cool! Have you read R. Hall's paper On the Efficacy of Futile Action?

>I remember some while ago I met a former classmate in the subway who had chosen to study economics. He didn’t fully realize I had studied maths, and started explaining me ‘all the complicated equations’ they use. Like, they use (ooh-ooh) functions. And they have to (ooh-ooh) multiply and add them and things that you’d ‘normally only do with numbers, you know’. When he told me they even have functions (ooh-ooh) that depend on more than one ‘thing’ (I believe he meant variable) I totally lost it. Luckily I had to leave next stop. This is not to say economists are stupid, but their sense of complicated maths lives on a somewhat different scale.

my god

both retards imo

Not same dude, but for fuck's sake have you taken a look into the so-called formulas they use? In what I like to call the "economic world view" almost everything is linear, only sometimes they might encounter something *gasp*... exponential.

tl;dr economy can't do math

That being said, I'm fully aware that economists might actually be quite skilled at math, but that won't be an achievement of their discipline.

Congratulations, I got published at the end of last year as a math major as well. I am an undergraduate, are you as well?

The best part is that none of their Nobel Laureates have ideas that survived a decade without being refuted by the real world, and most of them violently contradict one another. Stay classy, Econ.
