Everyone who said âWait: why are we changing the core mission to [[Quantum Gravity|âQuantizing Gravityâ]]?? Werenât we supposed to explain the observed particle spectrum? And the weirdness of the Higgs sector as Deus Ex Machina? And the origin of chirality? Etc etc.â | Everyone who said âWait: why are we changing the core mission to [[Quantum Gravity|âQuantizing Gravityâ]]?? Werenât we supposed to explain the observed particle spectrum?

|content=Sorry. By whom? Do I expect to be taken seriously by the many [[String Theory|String Theorists]] who called their colleagues morons, frauds and ânot seriousâ behind their backs? No. I donât.

I expect them to leave the field. Then we can get back to doing physics. The subset of reasonable [[String Theory|string theorists]] who know this problem well and are still doing science? WellâŚ.They know ST/QG has a problem and they hate it too. And I do care about them.  | I expect them to leave the field. Then we can get back to doing physics.

That isnât a mind virus. The mind virus is specifically the tortured defense of [[String Theory|string theory]] and [[Quantum Gravity|quantum gravity]] by attacking colleagues without admitting its massive failure. And that is a mind virus. I stand by that. Itâs atrocious. | That isnât a mind virus.
