I'm pretty sure I didn't pluck the most over the top statement from the first paragraph. You got a bit carried away. "Economics, then, could be said to be the essence of life on earth." If your point is the more limited "everyone should know something about economics", you might want to avoid language that would be better used to describe your religious beliefs.
I don't particularly care about the legitimacy of the empiricist (aka positivist) method of economics, why the average person should study economics and certainly I'm not interested in discussing the minutiae around the boundaries for proper economic applicability.
More limited claims would have been less obviously problematic.
