|content=This is why we need to rescue our experts & institutions. 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.

|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. Yet even here:

|content=This allows us to use Fundamental Physics as a reference for deception.
 
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.
 
Yet the [[Embedded Growth Obligations|EGOs]] make even them fib.

|content=I may disagree with @skdh on whether we should build another multi-billion dollar accelerator. But she is exactly correct that there is no longer any new physics beyond the Standard Model expected to be found. She is telling truths above her pay-grade in the eyes of our leaders.

|content=I don’t actually like saying this, but there is no way out. The United States research enterprise cannot afford this generational effect turning our research enterprise into a giant wealth transfer program. This generation has to lose ill gotten gains:

|content=As we know, University costs have skyrocketed above inflation. Administrator ranks have ballooned. Student Debt has become non-dischargeable. Adjunct & Student labor have exploded. ETC.
 
Turns out, there's really only one generation at the helm now steering us into this iceberg: https://t.co/46Yxyj8aUq

|content=We have fused a convent with a bordello and now we can’t separate them. The bordello needs a convent for respectability. The convent needs a bordello for resources. These houses divided will not stand until we refactor our institutions.
 
The problem is us. This is who we became.

|content=COMMENTARY <nowiki>|</nowiki> Two prominent local colleges are grappling with a straightforward ethical question that has been made out to be needlessly complex: Should a university return donations of “dirty money”?

|content=The modern US research university is built on the steepest E.G.O. (embedded growth obligation) of any major sector. It’s a pyramid scheme careening out of control with Boomers at the helm of all of the top ones as they have been hooked up for inter-generational wealth transfer.

|content=It’s time for the failed generations (Boomers &amp; Silents) to leave and the untested (GenXers &amp; Millenials) to get to work cleaning up this unholy mess after a pair of failed generations.
 
The Epstein cover up is the Hill that our Institutional class wishes to die on?

|content=Should @SamHarrisOrg &amp; I talk about the Boomers and their original &amp; bold approach to stewardship of education, research and our world class universities?
 
How about how Student Debt was reclassified in 2005 to keep kids from fleeing this experimental approach through bankruptcy?
