Agree we should think more like economists, but when I went through the Stewart/Thaler podcast transcript this morning it came off more as a conflict of values than sheer arrogance or ignorance. He identifies some true aspects of economics that he happens to disagree with, and expresses that in polite, honest way for the most part.
Gosh, this is another incredible compilation! And I don't just say that 'cuz our kid is a PhD economist. ;-)
There's no scientific validity to economics.
