Ironically, modernists fall for what I have called the opiate of the middle classes, that is social science and stock market speculation.

They refuse religion on rational grounds, then fall for economic forecasters, stock market analysts, and psychologists.

We know that economic forecasts work no better than astrology;
stock market analysts are more pompous but much less elegant than the bishop,
and psychology papers do not replicate meaning their results do not hold.
