I already explained what I meant by "H/T Oeconomicus".

"H/T" is short for "Hat Tip" or "hat tip to" which in turn is a way of acknowledging someone else, specifically that they pointed something out, or quoted it, or mentioned it. Its a way to give them credit for letting you know about it.

Oeconomicus is a poster on SI. I was giving him credit, because I saw that link in his post.

In that post the only other words where the link to the Stewart video, which apparently you appreciated. That was the only real content in the post. Your misreading of "H/T Oeconomicus" apparently lead you down a path of misunderstanding.

Giving him credit, wasn't one of the points of my posts, it was just being polite to another SI poster. Apparently you somehow got confused and thought it meant something about philosophy or economics, or the recent shootings or the reactions to it (its no clear which you meant but its also not important, since its none of those things, it was just giving someone else credit for having posted something before me)
