    Oh, so you’re one of those. You don’t know anything about modern economics or philosophy if you think the two are even remotely similar.

    Seriously a question in modern economics would be “did the tax policy instituted by placeistan in 2008 positively or negatively impact school enrollment?” While a question in philosophy would be “is the tax policy instituted by Placeistan an ethical or nonethical policy?” Those aren’t the same and the only reason why you would think the subjects are similar is if you know nothing about either one.

    Im willing to be you know little about what constitutes a science based on the ignorance you have displayed so far.

    Prestidigitation is not part of science and it is weird that you think the inability to predict everything is somehow unique to social sciences.

      Oh, so you’re one of those. Getting all pissy, unable to address what was said. Instead making accusations and strawmen.

      Your example is just silly. That’s just asking someone to make an observation and personal interpretation. How would you justify that interpretation. How would you test that hypothesis? Is it repeatable? Wheres your control group. Economics fails/doesn’t adhere to basic scientific method. And isn’t SCIENCE. No disrespect econ major. It isn’t. It’s a social science. That’s a significant difference. Saying economics is a Science. Full stop. Is like saying your hatchback is a formula 1. Though if you can prove otherwise I’m willing to listen despite your rudeness
