- | I don’t know what to say. What does one say to this? Are there any toxically masculine men available? With…like…testicles? | ||
Maybe this is it. We may need actual men. Manly, smelly, glory-seeking, rugged, individualistic men. | |||

Wouldn't that be a logical scientific question? Wouldn't that be a testable hypothesis? Why can't we ask that question as scientists? Why is that hypothesis excluded after *50* yrs? | |||

[[David Gross|David]], [[Ed Witten|Ed]], Maria, [[Cumrun Vafa|Cumrun]], [[Nathan “Nati” Seiberg|Nati]], [[Lenny Susskind|Lenny]], Juan, [[Lee Smolin|Lee]] etc. could be respondents giving constructive feedback. We would then at least learn why we are where we are. But this is nuts. | |||

|content=So I will say it from outside the field. I think the problem is that we aren't actually doing fundamental physics and havevn't been for decades. I want a survey of ALL the OTHER paths. It would probably cost a few hundred thousand dollars to fix this field. But this is bizarre. | |||
