One of my weird growing beliefs is that despite its squishy, messy appearance, politics has as much native precision as physics. We used to think biology was squishy messy stuff until we discovered DNA and realized it was just more complex and illegible computation/math.

Just because you don't know how to balance an energy equation doesn't mean energy conservation isn't in effect. Just because you don't grok genomics doesn't mean DNA computation is an imprecise process. Just we don't grok psychohistory doesn't mean hidden laws aren't in effect.

Exactly. It’s like pre-Newtonian physics. Our limited understanding doesn’t mean there’s no there there. Meme/nudge/Overton window/Dunbar’s number all have explanatory power.
