i think that there is an analogous version of this going on in philosophy. His critique is mostly restricted to psychology and also economics, really the social sciences. But when you look at t discussions of what the younger philosophers who don't have tenure amin, we're not going to get fired or for doing this. And if we don't publish something because we've spent our time doing this, it's not going to mean that we have to change our whole way of life and livelihood. I'm kepler. You're kepler. I'm darwin.
