        Hilarious.

        Check out the supply/demand Figure 4-8 on page 80

        Economists can’t handle non-linear relationships.

        Prosecution rests.

            I’ve made my point.

            The example text book you pulled of the shelf written by “proper economists” has the exact same linear S/D diagram I posted at the top of this thread.

              so you can’t figure out the point it’s trying to illustrate by simplifying assumptions. tada!

                  let me give you some advice. read the text instead of just skimming for pretty pictures. maybe next time you won’t fail your economics class

                    never once in my economics education did they [draw straight lines].

                    It seems you are the one who should have paid attention in class.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
