When did I say that any of them were bullshit? Can you not make up things i didn't say and then argue against that instead please?

I literally said that the subject was already good enough, as it was. How did you miss that?

The difference is that economics is a social science, masquerading as a hard science. Nothing wrong with the social sciences but they often present themselves as though the results they’ve found are akin to a hard science experiment with the lowest R values on record. In fact, ironically, most economists tend to look down their noses at the other social sciences and I think it’s causing them a lot of dukkha.

This entire paragraph was really telling.

Okay, so, I'll try again, which bit is the part where I said the subject was bullshit? From the looks of it, it does seem as though you just made it up and argued against that, instead of what I said.

Interesting that you left out the part where I said it was always good enough all along thought. Then again, I guess that part does really shit all over the nonses you're spewing doesn't it?

At this point I'm concerned that you genuinely can't tell the difference between the words I used and "all economics is bullshit."
