|content=So my model is that Economics really changed. The old guys who did the most to lay the foundations were a lot less high on their own supply. They welcomed interactions with other disciplines. It feels like the 1970s transformed economics into something less intellectually honest.

|content=“None of the usual criteria that **real** experts use says that we are in a recession.” - Prof. @paulkrugman
 
Have you dealt w/ economics professionally as an academic from another field? If not, it’s exactly like this: “Reason, fact, analysis, total bullshit, fact, a lie, fact.”

Former Enron adviser @PaulKrugman: "No, we aren’t and no, it doesn’t."

|content=In fact the truths, insights, facts, analysis, etc. are pretty compelling. And they are the majority of what economists circulate.
 
And then the conversation turns, and out comes the superior dismissive insufferable gaslighting.
 
And you think: “Why ruin analysis with psychosis?”

|content=I was lucky enough as a younger man to get to know Ken Arrow and '''Paul Samuelson''' slightly. They didn’t have this trait. Talking to Arrow or '''Samuelson''' was like talking to a research mathematician, biologist or physicist at the time. It wasn’t switching between reality & propoganda.

|content=They have two black boxes. One is called [[CPI]] construction. One is called the Fed. The theory is a narrative. The narrative doesn’t match the actions.

|content=Great question. Inflation is SUPPOSED to be a group valued field. In the case of bilateral trade it’s an element of GL(2,R) although the economists haven’t gotten there yet. But it is mostly not a field on Geography. It’s a field on path, Loop, preference and geographic spaces.

|content=I have heard you say inflation looks more like a heat map, than a single number. Would you say a heat map by both geography and product? Good morning

|content=And preference space is unknowable without just letting a free computation run.  Anything else involves some humans telling other humans what their preferences must be.

|content=Sure! And as '''Samuelson''' said, it may not even be integrable. And it may be that you are mixing stocks and flows. Etc. But then don’t say you are implementing Konus COLAs while pretending that mumbling “ superlative Index number are exact for flexible functional forms” makes sense.

|content=Wow, I'm going to have to Google half of that. I feel too dumb for this conversation. Am I reading correctly that the above tweet is sarcasm, and you're saying there's a deeper intellectual problem here?
