|content=“What happened in 1971-1973?” maybe the most underrated question of our time. | |||
There are roughly two schools. The larger more prestigious school thinks it was about economics. | |||
The smaller school thinks the economics were downstream of science and [[Embedded Growth Obligations]]. | |||

|content=WTF Happened In 1971? | |||
Very much understudied era in history. The fork in the road, when stagnation began to spread. | |||

|content=The larger school has the gold standard/Breton Woods, female entrants into the labor pool, Arab oil embargo, Watergate etc... on its side. If you want somewhere to start, start there. | |||
My school simply says that it was destined to blow up & we just chose the path. A very bad one. | |||

|content=@dvijmankad It's not that hard. The Manhattann project was filled with iconoclasts. | |||
Also: Feynman's reception at Shelter Island after the war. Dyson's victory over Oppenheimer at the IAS. Watson vs Venter on the Genome. Smale on the beaches of Rio. Serge Lang at Yale. Schwinger's epigram. | |||

|content=All of that was from the Manhattan project into the present. Yes, big science changed things...but it was [[Mansfield Amendment (1969)|Mansfield]], [[Bayh-Dole Act (1980)|Dole-Bayh]], [[Eilberg Amendment (1976)|Eilberg]], [[IMMACT90]] etc that lost us the freedom of the individual inside the universities. | |||

|content=You know we all want to be loved. And we all want money. And we all want status. | |||
But nothing compares to physics. And I’ll believe the best of him until we talk because that is a path of hope. And he may have a genius plan. I just don’t happen to know it & it’s taking too long. | |||

|content=fuck... we could do so much more... merch. gagh. Suspect Musk is being ironic. It's that time of the evening when he spits out bs. But ugh, i feel this frustration re meaningful pursuits like actual physics. Why does no one care? | |||

|content=No idea. But as brilliant & rich as he is, we can’t afford to get sucked in. | |||
I’m actually up for the dick jokes. What I’m not up for is the tease. He had the right idea (get off planet), the right resources, and the right background (physics). But it became just one more farce. | |||

|content=@Burchoff @ellleighclarke The part of physics that might accomplish his stated dream is dying every month. Go to any physics department & attend a high energy physics or particle theory talk. Maybe 1/10 is still about physics. He is burning time like crazy when he could just endow the field. Don’t ask me. | |||
