I have somewhat. It would be inconsistent if I had stayed the full course to get an entire degree that I had realised was bullshit.

Their assumptions don't hold. Assume people make perfect decisions, assume they all act within their own self-interest, assume perfect information, assume effects to the environment don't matter, neither do human lives. Assume acquiring money is the only goal anybody has.

I love how much these horrible assumptions shape the economic policy of the world.
