I am a naturalist. My "mission" is to show that ecologists are affected by physics' envy and that they try to heavily mathematize their discipline, predicting the future with equations. Hence, we are raising a generation of astrologists (the modelers) with crystal balls (their computers). Ecology is a historical discipline. Do historians predict the future? Equational ecology is just a make up. By the way, equational history is called economics, and it has a bad reputation, nowadays!
