Comic #6205: econs-2
Description
Here is the transcription of the text from the comic:
Panel 1:
- Person 1: "Why do economists see the world as so mechanical?"
- Person 2: "Due to negative selection."
Panel 2:
- Person 2: "Look, economics is the easiest degree you can get which virtually guarantees a high-wage-low-work outcome. That’s a filter."
Panel 3:
- Person 1: "Imagine the kind of person who by age 18 has already minmaxed the rest of their life under the criterion of most advantage for least labor. Now take a room full of such people and ask them to model how reality works."
Panel 4:
- Person 2: "Holy shit."
- Person 2: "Use the same logic but take away employability and now you understand what sociologists are like."
