Infuriating (unless it's a game theory class).
@WriteToRebel when someone is supposed to give a presentation and instead they just go "okay so I'm gonna have all of you play a lil game"😞.

Um. .
One of the best ways to train to do industry data science today is to do empirical economics research. Yes, it would arguably make more sense to start "quantitative social/data science" departments. These don't exist; or you might say these do exist and are called econ depts.

The only piece of advice I give to highschoolers that want to get into research is to cold email undergrads with a good track record.
The only piece of advice I give to undergrads that want to get into research is to cold email PhD students with a good track record. Most undergrads are bottlenecked by research ideas whereas good PhD students have way too many ideas that they cannot execute. If you can code.

"hey do you think that every pair of 2x2 integer matrices that are similar modulo m for every positive integer m are similar over the integers?" Uh. yes?.
This is a perfect example of why so much social science is nonsense. You don’t need a study for this. Just ask anyone with a passing familiarity with marijuana: “hey do you think legal weed will increase the number of people who play video games and eat snacks all day?” Uh…yes?.
