i have the implicit fear that by specializing in something, i am learning a lot about nothing. how does one commit when he knows that that which is not holistic is flawed. reductionism needs more than qualification, it needs to understand and utilize plurality.

it's easy to talk in theory, to construct theory, but the problem comes in the realization that theory is not reality, and all theories fall because they're tests are successful. theories look for variables to attribute cause to, that's where we get game theory, but the reductive nature which yearns for scientific acceptance is flawed in is very nature. events cannot be reduced, causes cannot be found in a diagram or a graph or an economic model.

i long for the comfort of economics, but am ashamed by my igonorance.
