I feel like the money itself makes less and less sense these days. It's just numbers that are becoming increasingly detached from the real world

If I had a dime for every time I see this kind of hot take, I'd be able to buy an H200 with that.

A man looks at economics. Understands nothing. Thinks it must be all fake and made up. He must be so smart for seeing it through!

Economics is entirely made up. It's a social science.

In case of economics, the gap between "social science" and "entirely made up" is ten miles long and filled with hellfire.

The laws of economics have the kind of inevitability you expect from the laws of physics. Disrespect them at your own peril.

Hard disagree on this. The gap between the levels of statistical significance you get in economics vs physics is massive. They're not at the same levels of inevitability. The predictive power of the laws of physics vs the laws of economics is vastly different.

Absolutely not- that is ridiculous.

Let's take "supply and demand" for example. Supply and demand only applies when you assume greed and capitalism. In a different social construct, the traditional supply & demand completely falls apart. But the problem is economics is presented as some sort of fact of nature. It just reinforces survival of the fittest instead of society that helps everyone.

Increasing prices because of demand is not the law of the land- it's a greed of humans that you normalize and make acceptable.
