Ahh I’m not really sure what I did that was unusual, but that is a very kind comment – I’ll take it 😉

Well, it takes a big man to admit when they’re wrong.

Consequently, I now have an even greater respect for you.

I’m guessing it was from this:

http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2014/05/28/can-physicists-please-look-at-a-basic-textbook-before-releasing-these-things/

But at the end of my rant I said:

“If you want to look at economic data and say things, that is cool, do so physicists – I actually hold hope that you dudes and dudettes will add heaps to our understanding. But before saying “look at this 100 level result, economists haven’t thought of it and are morons” actually read what economists have f’ing said in the past. Arrogant sons of guns – I am utterly furious, and this was defacto published by the AAAS as it is their mag. FFS!”

So it is more “pull it in and stop being douches” than “STFU”.

So I just made up that bit about you thinking physicists should STFU about economics, huh?

This seems awesome, and I’m sure it will be very useful cheers!

I don’t think physicists should STFU about economics – just have a little bit more respect for the fact we have done work, and perhaps “check” before telling the media economists are stupid 😉

While I agree with you that physicists should generally STFU about economics, there are some similarities in how both physics and economic concepts bounces off the brains of lay people. They are often counter-intuitive, and yet people still reckon they have a natural understanding of both.

PS. He has a GREAT youtube channel called Veritasium. Worth checking out.
