Tim also said "If you only like philosophy, be a philosopher. If you only like history, be a historian. If you only like math, be a mathematician. But if you like all of those things, be an economist."https://twitter.com/Kasey_Buckles/status/1053106892787060736 …

I admire how economists think that they are god-sent. Every other field should have that confidence.
-
With all due respect, that is not totally correct. Economists admire and respect other domains, which is why they integrate mathematics, computer science, and behavioral sciences into Economics. You should become one.

Haha I did enjoy the little Economics classes I took in college. It's also important to know a bit of Economics if you want to understand how crypto works.

I also like
@rodrikdani argument. If you have a Ph.d. in economics you will be able to read journal in other discipline, but not the other way around.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Economics done the right way is exactly like this :) Not sure it always is done like this... But I think this gets at exactly why economics can be such an amazing field.
-
It’s also why I feel drawn to economic history specifically. It’s not the history per se that I prefer (though that’s cool too), it’s that economic historians are so much more willing to connect economic reasoning to a broader context, do interdisciplinary work, etc.

Believe it or not, that is exactly the reason why I studied economics. I wanted to stir in all the pots..
