The problem is calling this "Bionomics."

It's just _economics_, not some cultish fad. Bionomics is just a hypish
name designed to sell books and seminars.

It's as if L. Ron Hubbard read Hayek and announced to Heinlein that he bet
he could found an entire religion around the concept of a free market.

"Vitamin B" indeed!
