    One of my econ professors used to constantly note that we used some of the same formulas that are used in physics as a way to imply that neoliberal economics are some kind of natural, unfalsifiable system. The tools can be useful, but yeah some of the true believers genuinely think that our man made systems are universal truths.

      I used some formula from physics to calculate my IQ and I have an IQ of 2 million which is pretty incredible. And that's just physics.
