Every economics/finance article I try to read now: “Well, obviously supply and demand, Econ 101, duh right?” (nod along) “Therefore <more esoteric idea>” (I google and nod a little more uncertainly) ...many bizarre hypermathematics steps later... “THEREFORE, TIMECUBE! QED”

This is why I kinda hate this shit. In regular physics the slippery slope from Newtonian billiard balls to TIMECUBE! is well signposted and you can kinda arrest paradigm slippage wherever your skepticism gets too high. In economics, you get to the crazy without noticing.
