Economics is being thrown out in favor of Modern Monetary Theory.

Psychology has a reproducibility crisis.

Epidemiology... isn't doing so well.

And I have no problem throwing out sociology and anthropology.

MMT is many things, but it's most definitely not a rejection of the idea that human behavior can be modeled.

Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.
