I’ve had to stay away from too much social biology / evo psych (I do much the same with certain areas of theoretical physics) – as I find I sometimes get ‘stuck’ in those areas, in the “almost have it all figured out” feeling
I went through a long period with a standing-wave theory. I was hooked; it had the answers I needed – and it prevented me from getting some needed background in other areas.
It’s hard though; I see something and have to say “no no, I have to stay over here for now”.
