You keep telling yourself that, if it makes you feel any better.

In real life, it may mean that people feel that, though you state your points as though they are obviously true, you have given no reason for us to actually agree with your dogmatic assertions. That doesn't prove that economics is a primate bias; it proves that you are not doing well at persuading people.

I'd say the dogma is with the other side on this one. It's a bit like walking into a church in the 14th century and trying to persuade people god is a made up concept. No amount of persuasion will be convincing. Economics is similar since its powers derive from social conventions. A central banker doing something to cause your ruin is no different than a bishop getting you burned on the stake. Doesn't man that either economy or god exist, though.

There is no such thing as economic science. If you can find an empirical, demonstration of mental events, biology, correlating value through arbitrary means, I'm all ears. Until I see proof, this is witch doctor level thinking hoisted onto the West as a self-immolation project.
