    Ah, so the economists you paid someone to tell you to read are better than the ones they read on their own.

    In short yes. There have been a 1000 years of development into the formal education system. That has lead to the industrial revolution and other other countless things.

    Youtube videos are great but it’s not quite the same.

    Hey, what’s your contribution to the field?

    Fuck all. But it doesn’t mean my knowledge of the field isn’t in the top 1% of the world.

      Bro, you’re out here saying Marx was a 1000 year old pre-industrial economist… Might want to reconsider your placement in the rankings.

          Oh, wow, your point was even worse then. At least there’s some validity to calling Marxist models outdated, but trying to pull an appeal to authority from the University of Bologna is a pretty big stretch.

          Idk man, maybe if you decide to continue your education so you can contribute to your field put a little more thought into the biases in your studies and reflect on the Socratic definition of wisdom?
