"I estimate that if I had neglected the students, I could have written 25 percent more scientific papers. The choice was easy to make and I do not regret it."

[Senior PowerPoint Engineer @ryxcommar]

feel a lil guilt every time I call myself a "data scientist." There's hardly anything scientific about what I do. I'm more like a data jester, performing cheap tricks to beguile the rulers of the economy.

Economists are almost all Democrats and mostly place themselves on the political left.

Stereotypes of right-wing economists are based on outliers and media shouters.
