I believe the Austrian economists described these fields as being envious of true hard sciences. The logic reminds me of vaccine research. They always begin with the unproven claim that contagion theory is real. That disease spreads through tiny microscopic droplets that we can’t see. That these droplets have the capacity to wreak havoc on the entire body. Without real evidence, they start experimenting on people using all kinds of insane interventions. Did you know that they used to treat pellagra, a vitamin deficiency based disease, with arsenic? They’d pump people up with it and quarantine you if you showed symptoms of pellagra. After countless years and harm, they finally realized it wasn’t contagious and that the victims just needed niacin. The same problem led to countless deaths when they assumed scurvy was contagious. And yet, scientists have never been able to isolate a virus in its pure form outside of the human body. If you catch the flu from someone else with the flu, where did the flu come from? It’s frustrating and retarded because it allows them to set the boundary lines for research and debate on these subjects. They can just move the goalposts and find a different explanation when their theories don’t work. And if you question the foundation of their stance, instead of the baseless research, then you’re labeled anti science lmfao.
