In every sense that economically matters (i.e. in every sense that will actually attract the resources required to realize such a determination), it can be.

The problem is that the economic matters are not the only relevant issues, and I would argue they're not the most important ones either

When it comes to what actually gets encoded into reality, it certainly is the most salient factor

That truly does speak to the problems we have in modern society.

The biggest issue we face today is the incessant nature of economists to try to reshape reality to match economic theory, and not the other way around

I don't think this is a problem with economists. It's a problem with incentives and the systems we use to balance those incentives.

You have it totally backwards lol. You can remove the economists or even the word "economy" and nothing would change about actual reality.
