=== 2025 === * you can't just fire people and break things with a government and a nuclear superpower with many non-market functions the way in which you can with a for-profit company you just bought. You can somewhat. But there are limits to the analogy. * The private sector isn't magic. You can't just give the private sector final say on whatever is valuable. You can do that only if the thing in question is in the category of standard goods and services. But it doesn't work for an entire category of well known market failures. Like basic research in science. * beware analogies when playing with thermonuclear military capabilities. There is no real intuition pump. Doesn’t exist. * focus on the cover story. Not the memes. Go after the press first. Figure out exactly who is stopping the fund from being dissected. Focus on the non reporting. This is what [[Anti-Interesting|Anti-Interesting]] is all about. Use it. * Not everyone is an ignorant idiot just because they think your community is 40+ years stalled groupthinking this exact way. I don’t think you are ignorant or stupid. I don’t think you are pseudoscientists. Or grifters. Or any of that. I just think you are wrong in your total approach. That’s just science. The quantum gravity crowd has demanded a victory parade for 40+ years over all other approaches while it fails to launch year after year after year. That is not science. I’m sorry. I don’t make that rule. * Physics when done well and right, is very very dangerous after all. And I want us to get back to doing physics that will go way beyond [[Albert_Einstein|Einstein]]. Even the kind that goes boom:💥
