|content=Beauty *is* a light in the darkness as experiment becomes less accessible. Perhaps our best one.
But not all lights in the darkness are natural daylight leading to the exits from Plato’s cave.

|content=Instantly stop all progress in the world’s most successful scientific community using only two words inducing permanent paralytic failure that cannot be questioned.
I’ll go first: [[Quantum Gravity|“Quantum Gravity”]]

|content=Hi Sabine!
I don’t follow your statement here. How am I confused?

|content=I just meant the cause of the problem is that theoretical physicists don't understand the responsibility they carry when experimental tests take longer and longer. That they got stuck on (a particular idea of) quantum gravity is the effect, but not the cause.

|content=Hmm. As you know I’m historically a big supporter of your courage & insight as critic. Perhaps you know something here that I do not as a nonphysicist. Open to that.
But I disagree. The Q-Gravity Mass Delusion is quite different in character. It is highly specific in its effect.

|content=It is tied to all sorts of weirdness involving top physics and math people, bizarre funders, forgotten research institutes, aerospace companies, post Manhattan Project government secrecy, [[The Golden Age of General Relativity|the golden age of General Relativity]] and…words fail me…outright quackery.

|content=GUTs are a good test case. I believe you are in error going after Beauty when it comes to Grand Unified Theory. Your critique to Neil Degrasse Tyson recently applied to Georgi and Glashow Basic SU(5)…but not to [[Pati-Salam|Pati-Salaam]] SU(4) x SU(2) x SU(2) for example.

|content=I caution that you not fall into the trap of using Beauty as critique.
The abuse of Beauty in [[String Theory]] and [[Quantum Gravity]] more generally is valid as a target.
Critiquing the use of beauty, by contrast is a suicide mission. And I don’t want to see you on it. As a friend.

|content=And remember, you can't get mad. We outsiders are HYPER-marginalized & I'm accepting extra work that you find oppressive & wont do. I'm EXACTLY following what I understand of your tweet and proposition. My concern is also attracting & retaining top talent from all pools. 🙏

|content=Wow! Holy smokes.
I think I understand this proposition. And I accept!
And I'm happy to do an extra talk on EDI  for FREE. My complexion is fair.

|content=@IBJIYONGI I would also be happy to debate you on DEI. I think we can both agree we don't want to do damage to the field. And I am worried that you may NOT be speaking out for many marginalized voices who are intimidated by this relentlessly invidious rhetoric in science.

|content=In any event, I'd be most interested to talk on the following two topics:
3 Generations of fundamental Chiral Fermions vs 2 Fundamental Families + 1 Emergent non-chiral SM Gen plus two exotic families which become emergently Chiral.
[[Pati-Salam]] & GR: What is the linkage?

|content=But I am hearing from some terrific researchers that they are SCARED in their workplaces to talk science now for fear of being targeted by science activists. And it has me concerned. We can't let Black physicists be intimidated by politics! Let me know?
