On my side, and to build on top of what you've said here, I think the article misses the point of the fact that anger is a useful and healthy societal tool. The naive disney approach to anger is "you should not be angry, it is baa

I think it's what is missing in the article. Anger incorrectly directed is a bad thing. But the article implies that there is no correct direction to the anger, which makes the article sounds as naive and misdirected as people who get

> The guy who initially accused me of being creepy all of a sudden understands that there's an entertainment component to how I communicate. You realise I laugh at you and not with you, right? For example, the hilarious fact that yo

Responding is fun because your answers are entertaining and make me laugh. The fact that I keep putting a coin to see the little monkey dance does not mean that when the little monkey emits some sound I would take it personally. And I enjoy

Also, a scientist is interviewed in the documentary (I haven't seen the documentary, but my understanding is that it is the only real expert involved), Prof Katya Rubia, and they recently reacted to the documentary: "My own contri

I'm still not sure what you imagine this conversation will do. What do you think will happen? You know I think you are ridiculous and pathetic, already from the previous conversation. And you're coming back after months to do this

I think that if you wanted me to be compassionate, you should have avoided to be so creepy. Put yourself in my shoes, I just feel like I'm been accosted by a drunk who want to both become my best bud and shout at me. And because of tha

Too deep? Have you considered seeking help? Our interaction should not be a big deal for balanced people. I had forgotten about it myself and moved on. If you cannot, it shows there is something wrong going on and maybe it should worry you.

Oh, it took me a while to find out who you were. Are you stalking me now? I did made an impression on you. I'm sorry.

What are you talking about? This is not my argument, this is a different argument. His intervention (which is not even really an argument) is that "physicists chose what to work on and some of them think string theory is interesting&qu

First, it is incorrect to say that "any set of data is consistent with string theory". For example, string theory is death in water if we observe a single Majorana fermion with no partner at a comparable scale. This is an observat

The argument that I'm making was not at all discussed in the video. Can you point to the exact time in the video this argument is made? It looks like you just took a video with someone defending string theory and simply concluded that

Same as the parallel comment: the situation of string theory is the same as with black holes and relativity. It is not it is not testable, it is that it is not testable yet. The situation is very similar of the situations of black holes and

What are your source to say so? Let's take for example https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.02789 It's not even clear where String Theory is categorized in this article. Maybe High Energy Physics? Maybe Condensed Matte

There is no more inertia in the academic sector than in the software developer sector. You have tons of software developers that cling to their preferences for ages. They have their beloved language, or beloved paradigm, and they will inven

I did not ignore Susskind at all. I literally say "for each physics theory, on 100 physicists, you have 5 physicists saying it is a mistake to continue working on it". I mentioned the name of Hossenfelder, but you can replace it b

The goal is indeed to have progress or disseminate that progress. The point of Tao is that people see LLM providing "proofs" and are concluding that this is all that is needed to "have progress or disseminate that progress&qu

You said > No, not morons, but people who have built a career on string theory. At this point, even if they regret their decisions, it’s too late to turn back now. This is not presented as "yet another option that may or may not be

I don't think "shared knowledge" means "shared knowledge between mathematicians and lay persons" (there is no much point in that, the same way a smartphone technician knows how a smartphone works deep down to the de

You were the one introducing the argument "they are getting advantages out of it so we should be careful to not take what they say as an impartial view". Same can be told of Hossenfelder (personally, I would say that Hossenfelder

by cauch 1mo ago
I don't think it's a good argument. String theory is just "one application" of advanced mathematical physics. It's like saying that software developers specialised in ReactJS would lose their career if ReactJS is su

by cauch 1mo ago
The error with this approach is that every single physics theory gets exactly the same criticisms. You can take any of the theories that Hossenfelder would spend time on instead of the ones she does not like, and you would find (basically)

Yes, yes, whatever you need to say to save face. We all know it's not true but it's ok, let's pretend it is so you stop crying. There there my big boy.

It's entertaining seeing you digging your own grave (being more and more immature, doing exactly what you accused others of doing, ...), but I understand your situation. Everyone here, you included, know how pathetic you look right now

That's not a "appeal to authority", just that reliable conclusions require people who have dedicated enough thoughts on the subject to avoid basic mistakes. You have exactly the same thing in software development: a closed so

Well, you were telling me that I'm obsessed with Musk, which I know for a fact is totally incorrect. Now you are saying you are not crying. Is that as accurate as the rest of what you said here? But, hey, we know you just try to convin

I was writing point-by-point response, but it is just too useless. First, as for the diversity in Roman era, I think it's incorrect to compare it to 100 year ago diversity. It looks like it was the error done previously and historians
