i have come to the conclusion once again that you can safely ignore all economic babbling from anyone whose field isn't physics or pure math

What I see often is phys/math people doubling down on the unrealistic formalism economists are already criticised for
-
Indeed. In fact I think the original tweet is probably exactly incorrect
-
I'm coming around that maybe the correct edit is "ignore all economic babbling from anyone"
-
Can we settle for:"Treat all figures, especially projections, with a heavy dose of skepticism. Avoid over precision when counter productive"
-
Economics is useful.But excess math can instill overconfidence which is usually unjustified.Fundamental econ questions still have no answers
-
you guys are committing a set theory error in reading my tweet, lol. to be fair it's a really common one in english for some reason
-
you are reading in to my words the assertion "all physicists and mathematicians are credible on economics" but i never said this
