I am guessing that the both of us share in common something like a data anaylst or accountant background, degrees relevant to something like that...

You have to actually understand statistics, math, the relevant background concepts and terms.

Almost no 'normal' person bothers with all this, unless they're getting paid to.

But yeah... actual academic economists have been pulling their hair out over this kind of shit for decades, they have actually complex stances on this stuff and do novel research and such.

But the pop culture version of an economist is basically either A) some kind of corpo sell out who just justifies things for the company B) highly connected old money goober type that ends up at the Fed or a major bank C) fucking larry kudlow or jim cramer D) insane political ideologue who somehow happened to get an econ degree and then entirely use that to be a political ideologue.

Anyway, what I remember of game theory with imperfect information strongly suggests to me that we are all compketely fucked for the forseeable medium term, lol.
