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. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1091743271875895297 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=I’ve been talking about unmeetable [[Embedded Growth Obligations|“Embedded Growth Obligations” or E.G.O.s]] as the reason why all our expert communities are under unbearable pressure to distort across our institutions. The physics community is *very* trustworthy on the experiment-theory level.

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.

But she is exactly correct that there is no longer any new physics beyond the [[Standard Model]] expected to be found.

I agree that the quantum field theorists were often, and words fail me, dicks about quantum foundations. But it was really an overlay on a rational calculation of expected return from 1928-74. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1170821377537925121 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/ericweinstein |username=ericweinstein |content=Ok. This is a weird take. The reluctance to engage foundations of quantum mechanics stemmed from the fact that it was far less generative than research in quantum field thy for decades. When [[Standard Model]] [[Quantum Field Theory|QFT]] stagnated & [[Quantum Gravity]] stumbled, the opportunity cost decreased. |quote= {{Tweet |image=Seanmcarroll-profile.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/seanmcarroll/status/1170355961673863168 |name=Sean Carroll |usernameurl=https://x.com/seanmcarroll |username=seanmcarroll |content=Shots fired!
