It is hate. My question is do certain forms of hate (crimes) get special labels? Every group that has been hated on throughout history, has been especially hated on. If we generalize the label it might help unite. Maybe...

Disagree. Neoliberal is an ideology based on removing social benefits and spending. The radical or racist right is all about that.

I think your arguments are helpful. I am inspired. In particular about moving from us-vs-them, which is a problem in the 1st place. Also, I read the paper superficially & u called this out! Good on you. I was surprised & I don't know Econ journal rankings, but sounded like reputable journal.

So in this way, economists are saying our models make our research more the truth than others. Models = truth. Also this is quite a digression.... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Economists on average, through their behaviors and institutions say something like, 'we use mathematical models therefore we are better than everyone else, please put all your trust and money into our scientific discipline, and ignore all other disciplines'

I agree! That was not the recommendation tho. It is about being honest about what a model can and cannot do. About not over-interpreting the results.

Economics held itself above other disciplines + retained influence on gov policy. This article clearly & honestly self-appraises this problem. Namely its source: the treatment of mathematical models as 'truth', as if by magic. www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/...

Being convinced another study is wrong, and then using every and any possible method to prove this, is p-hacking.

Less likely in Lebanon. This is a country recognized by the UN. Unlike Palestine which is recognized as a (non-nation) state by only two-thirds of the UN. This makes a huge difference politically.

On consequence that is intended, is that we improve the transparency, accessibility and reliability of knowledge. One might argue this outweighs any side effects or externalities, as this is the purest goal of science.
