I’m struggling because I am angry.

I’m angry that these people who are in a field that has a complete disconnect with the type of problem they are claiming to solve, have had so much influence and power.

Every single regular person understands how this is bullshit, they just wrapped it up in stuff that sounded complicated, mathy, scientific and rigorous.

Try to ask any woman on the planet what are the considerations (variables) affecting if, how and when she would leave her abusive husband. She could write you a whole paper, it would have so many variables. One single decision. So many possible outcomes and blowbacks. So much risk to be managed. One single action in a relatively small part of a complex adaptive system. And she knows it in her bones.

And these assholes make a childish formula and fuck up real peoples lives over it.

@Patricia Some related outrage fodder where economists also failed in programming and destroyed my country as a result
