I so understand you. That was actually the reason I stopped drinking almost 20 years ago: instead of drinking "responsibly", I decided to drop it altogether!

No regrets.

Hi, fellow Marylander and scientist here (hard sciences).

I have reservations of a practical applicability of the scientific method to such large and complex system as world economy. I understand basic economic factors (law of supply and demand, etc) that worked pretty well in predicting behavior of early, simpler, capitalist systems, but with the sheer increase of complexity, with all sophisticated regulation existing now, how is it even possible to make more or less reliable forecasts?
