|content=@mike_usher I donāt fully disagree. Letās put it this way, the '''arxiv''' probably did more good than harm so Iāve been reluctant to discuss its issues. It is also part of a complex and that complex is the issue. It isnāt right to discuss it in isolation. It is part of an ecosystem. | |||

|content=This is an excellent question. Think of this as the āGood Will Hunting Problemā. | |||
I tried uploading to '''arxiv''' way back when. They told me that my email address wasnāt a current university address and I could only upload with endorsement from a university or its representative. | |||

|content=On this point our detractors are more correct than our supporters: our ambitions at The Portal are nearly delusional. | |||
The main goal of The Portal is to āSlip the DISCā. Anywhere institutions (like Universities) set up an intellectual caste system via bottlenecking, weāll engage. | |||

|content=To your question: can that Bangladeshi Genius kid get on the '''Arxiv''' if she is from some Jute farm in the delta without an endorsement? | |||
https://arxiv.org/help/endorseme | |||
And why if the '''Arxiv''' is open does it discriminate against the blogs of string theory critics??? | |||

|content=I grant freely that the '''arxiv''' is the absolute best part of the DISC. But it is still suppressing ideas & enforcing a caste system. It is the most progressive part of our regressive system (I was offered a full endorsement exemption from its founder Paul Ginsparg). But DISC it is. | |||

|content=Iām enough of a hypocrite that I reserve rights to use it. But Iāll be making demands of it too. Peter Woit is a physicist who is treated by the '''arxiv''' as an āinternet personalityā yet runs the most read physics blog. I demand that they fully explain their history suppressing him. | |||

|content=Thanks for asking that question. Our goal is to save the '''Arxiv''' from being part of the DISC. Its soul is with the rebels. And Paul Ginsparg is oddly an early hero of the revolution despite my issues with the '''Arxiv''' and its administration. š | |||

|content=Was thinking the same. | |||
But I think it is because an enormous part of the hep-th '''arxiv''' is disingenuous physics. āSterile neutrinos from Non-commutative spacetime SUSY phenomenology over characteristic p not equal to 2.ā could be a paper in a field gone mad. Or it could be a joke. | |||

|content=ChatGPD thinks its a breakthrough to fake academic texts that even experts canāt distinguish. Yet the snarxiv beats us since 2010 | |||
