A number of recent books have described theoretical physics as an area that has lost its way. Meanwhile cosmology has been delivering a wealth of data, and has repeatedly required the addition of various "dark" cosmological entities to explain observations. Have the failures of supersymmetry and string theory taught the theoretical physics community anything? This essay proposes that the current approach to the dark universe is repeating the same mistakes, and attempts to outline a way forward.
