No, there is hardly any incentive to bullshit in math, math is hard to use to directly justify violence whereas the foundation of modern economics study is based on extensively justifying the violence of those who fund their "science".
Yes, a basic fundamental conflict of interest like this actually does deeply call into question whether the sum total of all that knowledge is bad or corrupt?
Can you not see that?
Please prove this statement. It is wildly inaccurate. Specifically, write out the actual logic you are implying with it because it is very obviously unsound.
Do you feel all of calculus is about having sex with kids?
Not joking. Isaac Newton, the inventor of modern calculus was also super into the arcane, specifically alchemy, and believed immortality was achievable through having sex with enough kids. He literally wrote papers on it. In addition to calculus.
Should I therefore not use Calculus because Newton practiced the belief that having sex with kids could make him immortal, and being the inventor of Calculus, used it to make that happen for him?
Do you understand why this is so illogical? It is the same logic you are applying to an entire classification of math that you clearly don't understand aside from whatever history of it you have cherry picked for blame that should very much be directed elsewhere.

You know I can link you a bunch of books that claim Bigfoot is real? That doesn't mean it is. That requires looking at the ideas presented in those books and analyzing them for truth, rather than copying and pasting them as if that means they are.
I'm sorry, but just because you've been convinced economics is some kind of fantastical force of oppression instead of math that figures out slopes doesn't mean it is. Sure you can point me to the flawed articles that did that to your brain, but that doesn't mean any form of math has that kind of power. That is a truly insane thought.
Your perception of what economics is entirely dictated by sources you trust but can't elaborate on further.
Please elaborate why you believe these sources if you want anyone to be convinced they should be believed.
I moved no goal posts. You failed to explain your previous statement in anyway. You just linked a bunch of material with no explanation as to how that material supports anything.
So did physics. So did chemistry. That proves precisely nothing.
Well, here is the thing chemistry and physics evolved out of philosophy as a pursuit of finding theories to explain the world whereas economics evolved out of philosophy as a way of imposing an ideology on others about how society is best structured and what is "natural" for society vs. "unnatural".
Chemistry and physics are actually sciences, they seek to understand the natural world through theories, economics on the otherhand imposes its ideology on reality and then starts from there in its quest to understand as it cosplays as an actual respectable science.
Chemistry and physics have predictive power, economics is like music theory it is always just explaining why things happened in retrospect with no actual window into what motivates and causes patterns. Everything is imposed after the fact and then worked back from the imposed set of axioms. The best that can be said about economics at this point is that it is a set of pattern matching tools that are struggling to evolve into a science, and yeah I don't think it is there yet or even particularly close because of the mindset of most people in economics who have sway over the direction the "science" moves do not think and act like scientists.
