If you told me ten years ago that one day I would get into online fights with economic Nobel price laureates, and that I would be the one looking sane in the exchange, I would have laughed out loud.

@sophieschmieg@infosec.exchange Remember when we thought economics was a science? Good times.

@sophieschmieg@infosec.exchange There is no such thing as a Nobel Prize for Economics, because Nobel didn’t regard it as a real subject. There is a fan prize (The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel) that was funded by a bank because economists felt bad and felt the need to tie their prize to something well known rather than establishing something independent to signify being the top of their field.
