It's always nice to see some people who have professional credibility expressing a similar opinion. Also, I didn't know the "Noble Prize in Economics" wasn't really a Nobel Prize at all (it's not awarded by the Nobel Foundation! They basically just appropriated the name...) I always thought it was strange that there was one at all (or seemed to be one), and I didn't particularly like the credibility it seemed to lend to a field that doesn't deserve it, but it makes so much more sense now to know it's just a psyop run by a bank. permalink fedilink source parent
