Pretty sure all of economics is just using greek/roman letters to make the most basic and irrelevant equations seem smart.
I am so glad to see my internal monologue confirmed here on this anonymous forum.

actually this is true… my ex went to college for econ and i helped her study often…
i was a computer science major with a LOT of excessive math (although i do enjoy it).
The entire field of economics is a fraud…
the axis’s on their graphs are backwards, they have their own bullshit calculus for dummies, it’s all based on an idealized fake human called “homo economicus” that is perfectly and predictably motivated by money, and nothing else at all… it’s all such trash….
…
this equation is extra fraudulent though…
Economics is one of the few sciences where if a model prediction is consistently incorrect, we don't discard the model but make a new sub-discipline out of finding excuses for it.
I have a graduate diploma in economics and concur it's mostly bullshit. The lecturers essentially agreed. Didn't bother to continue to masters as I don't think there's anything more to learn from the field once you've confirmed that the world economy is based on lies and dice rolls.
I studied economics and well yeah it's all true
