<p>^yeah, that’s really the issue for me. There’s just an accepted B.S. culture in a field that is ultimately of tremendous impact…without criticism of many of these models, we will never improve. We will just turn out more empty suits, with the same nonsense pedigree. I enjoy money, but I value virtue more than money. </p>
<p>For instance, you have financial analysts who make statistically meaningless, and sometimes fradulent, predictions of the performance of companies. There’s no real quality control. Econ and finance are just so easy to BS.</p>
