Just saw the Lomborg on Maher clip using bad models to justify his BS, and was once again so infuriated that these economic models are left to flourish without much scrutiny in the public eye. A lot more people need to be angry about these!

*Desired outcomes* are their starting points, cos the economist that comes up with any model that allows true degrowth, true contraction, real "just use less," will become an unemployed and unemployable economist.

Currently working on a book listing all major and minor theorems/assumptions in the neoclassical school, as well as scrutinizing them to see which ones legitimately hold water. I've covered 150 different elements so far. The percentage of those that stand up to scrutiny? Zero. It's all bullshit.
