I want to observe the science teacher with zero in all of those. Ideally from a distance. E: actually I think that just describes a lot of politicians.

This isn't even biology, medical science is complicated by things like patients not bothering to turn up to clinic, forgetting to take their study drug, medical ethics, etc. Also the more you restrict your patient population and experimental environment, the less applicable your results are in the real world. Doesn't excuse the stats abuse of course.

Boy you want to talk about biology and trend lines e: sorry; big oh lmao its an n=1 medical paper, where they used how carbon anhydrase fucks with carbonation and therefore its taste to get a guy to stop drinking soda, and lost weight as a result. Hmmmmmm i wonder if there was a lot of sugar suddenly missing from his diet? Watermelon Daiquiri has a new favorite as of 20:00 on Jun 12, 2022 |

DACK FAYDEN posted:oh absolutely Economics is a cautionary tale of what happens when people think hard science is inherently superior to soft science. If a social scientist made the argument that "human society will never, ever run out of resources, because we will always invent a way to be more efficient with resource consumption", it'd be recognised as total speculation, but an economist slaps an arbitrary number on the same idea and suddenly it's quantifiable and rigorous enough to underpin decades of mainstream economic theory. It's just social sciences for people who find it easier to read equations than sentences.

hooman posted:The only error there is thinking economics is science. economics doesn't even have a Nobel prize, that thing is independently run "in honor of Nobel" while appearing in the same ceremony quote:Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economics derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy. Among them is the Swedish human rights lawyer Peter Nobel, a great-grandnephew of Ludvig Nobel.[35] Nobel accuses the awarding institution of misusing his family's name, and states that no member of the Nobel family has ever had the intention of establishing a prize in economics.[36] He explained that "Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society's well-being", saying that "There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize", and that the association with the Nobel prizes is "a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation".[35]

The prize in economics should count as a negative. If a university claims two prizes each in chemistry and physics and one in economics, their total Nobel count is three.
