For the moment, let me entertain a wild idea. Truly wild. Here goes. What if the problem is our leadership. What if we asked "Who believe String Theory wouldn't work?" "Who never claimed LHC SUSY was imminent?" "Who never said Proton Decay was going to be found?" Etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Discussion of the future of theoretical physics seems like a game of "Intellectual Keepaway." Its the same group of mandarins who predicted LHC SuperSymmetry, Mini-Black holes, SU(5) Grand Unification, String Theory, Q-Gravity would work. What do our *heretics* say instead? — PolitiTweet.org

Said differently, what if our leadership is brilliant but SPECIFICALLY untrustworthy in identifying the path forward. What if 1000 David Gross & Ed Wit1ten Keynotes setting the agenda are the problem? What if Lenny Susskind is not correct sbout non-string people wasting our time. — PolitiTweet.org
