It's a science in the fashion that it uses tools of such, and the vision of such, but ultimately, every economist will admit that they're not as good at predicting things as the media likes to believe.

To me an article claiming to be written by a PhD is no more valid than a youtube video. It depends on the content and sourcing

It was actually pretty well cited (in terms of sources). Actually a decent read on the myths mentioned on it.

Agreed but this is the problem. Why do people not care? If they were brought up to care they would - therefore teaching monetary theory in school could make people care. (As a child you are open to far more concepts, hence why most children are religious until they learn to think for themselves -some never do though heh) Your thoughts on this?

Why people don't care? In a modern western world, it probably has a lot to do with complacency. People get things so easily they don't really consider the effort, and they're really bad at perceiving the possible negative (personal) growth path. They simply don't think anything bad can happen to them, and they don't think of contingency plans.

He releases his videos free on the most popular network for getting videos out there so that's understandable, being on youtube doesn't make it any less valid.

I'm reasonably convinced that music industry also releases a lot of videos on free on the most popular network for getting videos out there but it doesn't change the fact that their intention is to earn through this. Advertising?
