Mathematical Economics cannot survive in its current echo chamber. The field needs to find its own umpire. 5/X

We now know there is no winner, but lots of great alternatives for controlling complex systems. We need to test lots of alternatives because our mathematical models are always flawed. 4/X

They could fight like this, claiming superiority via their theorems, only because there was no unbiased umpire to pick a winner. When computers became practical for realistic simulations we had the judge we needed so we could test theory against the closest thing to practice. 3/X

It wasn't always explicit in public, but I remember some passionate conversations. I moved away from my advisor's doctoral topic precisely because one of his colleagues (a compelling "great man") declared that adaptive control was nonsense. 2/X

Mathematical Economics today is in the state of Control Theory when I was a graduate student. In those days, “important men” would declare that one approach is pristine and the others tainted---fights among the three flavors in vogue: robust, optimal, and adaptive. 1/X

I would like to see the Royal Society Expel Elon Musk. His membership is a disgrace and an insult to the Royal Society's core values of "promoting excellence in science for the benefit of humanity".
Born #OnThisDay in 1627 was Robert Boyle FRS, Royal Society founder and regarded as one of the first modern chemists. Boyle also wrote a wish list of what he hoped could be achieved through science, including things like 'Attaining Gigantick Dimensions'. What would you like to see science achieve?
