A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
To be clearer, this showerthought perhaps needs to be fleshed out a bit. But I think I get your point.
Here's the controversial crux IMO. Whatever economists may think, economics is not a science. It's an art posing as a science. That's because science transcends humanity, whereas economics is a product of the human imagination.
To the extent that economics can be considered a science, it is a wholly dependent subset of ecology.
