This is a great piece, Lee, I enjoyed every word of it. But here's a shorter version.

Social Science is not science. It's scientism. Social Science can never establish causation, only correlation. Social Science cannot produce anything that even remotely resembles Newton's Laws of Motion - which Einstein showed were not "true" but they remain damned useful to this day. The replication problem in Social Science will never be solved because you can't step into the same river twice. The entire edifice of Social Science is built on false premises, perpetuated by a corrupt academic system joined at the hip with a corrupt publishing system. Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln? :)
