Economics: "Humans only value things monetarily."
Sociology: "Uh, I don't..."
Economics: "Humans are always rational and value is calculated by complex internal calculus."
Sociology: "Uhhh, Psy, can you help?" Psychology: "That's not how humans..." Economics: "ALSO MY SYSTEM WILL GROW EXPONENTIALLY FOREVER!!"
Physics: *drops teacup*

@space_cadet This is partly why I assert Economics is the religion of our time. We're terrible at detecting religion which is why we keep doing it but imo the best way is to follow a few simple rules -
- Who stands behind the heads of state? (Finance Ministers)
- Who is pushing for their work to be seen as science when it's clearly not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Economic_Sciences
- Are those people trying to force quasi religious beliefs on people? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_hand
