You think that policy decisions should be made based on your understanding of Econ 101?

That would be one class further than the knowledge being used to make the current decisions.

I think that anyone should take basic econ classes, you learn a lot. Unfortunately, it's not one of those classes you can 'have a different understanding of' with any seriousness.

Well you see, to be critical of a paradigm, for example modern monetary theory, you have to have a PhD in that paradigm. That’s why you can’t say that god doesn’t exist unless you’re a priest or a theologian. Makes sense to me

No, you absolutely can. Priests are "qualified" through reading religious texts of dubious validity. If anything, they should be trusted less.

I don't know if it's even possible to answer whether a god exists, but it's quite easy to find the flaws in religious stories, and if anyone can answer that question, it's certainly not them.
