[00:00:00]Me is doing a tremendous amount of damage to theoretical physics. How so?

[00:00:06]Um theoretical physics is in my estimation the most beautiful most powerful most economically potent thing you can do with your life. And we are the best. The United States is in my opinion the greatest nation in the history of the earth for theoretical physics because we are cowboys. We are irreverent.

[00:00:31]We are the we are the people who invented the atomic and hydrogen bombs, the semiconductor.

[00:00:37]Uh this is what we do and we've lost the ability to do it at an a level that I cannot believe happened during my watch my lifetime. So from 1984 to the present, those 42 years have been the greatest intellectual implosion I think that I know of, where people just got dumber.
