|content=This is why we need to rescue our experts &amp; institutions. We need to stop asking them to lie to us about their needs for growth. If even high energy physics can’t escape its inability to meet growth expectations, then all expert communities are suspect.

These are our very best.

These folks are our BEST. They aren’t lying about their experiments. They aren’t lying about agreement w theory. They aren’t wrong about expecting another accelerator imho.

Yet the [[Embedded Growth Obligations|EGOs]] make even them fib.

My model of the universal corruption of our institutional experts via [[Embedded Growth Obligations|“Embedded Growth Obligations” (or E.G.O.s)]] is finally getting a political hearing. This, after decades of being ignored. 

Thanks to [[Andrew Yang]] for taking a risk. 🙏

But look at the graphs of any research university. They all tell the same story. You don’t even have to tell me which one. It’s a coming time-bomb.

That is the single great story of our time. It explains almost everything after 1971-3 but assumes almost nothing:

A) Every institution is built with an [[Embedded Growth Obligations|EGO]].

B) Every institution that can’t meet its [[Embedded Growth Obligations|EGO]] becomes pathological.

C) Lower growth.
