โClueless peopleโ, she was saying, โend up in charge because they arenโt hampered by having to spend time acquiring expertise. They can devote a hundred percent of their energy to climbing the greasy pole. Being smeared in grease doesnโt affect your effectiveness if it was zero to start with.โ
โEw, thatโ, I put down my coffee, โis an icky metaphor. Business culture is disgusting.โ
โOh, darlingโ, she offered me the last croissant before taking a bite and talking through the mouthful, โIโm talking about cosmology.โ
โWhat?โ. I felt I was losing my grip on the reins of this wildly bucking conversation.
โThe standard model of particle physics,โ she washed away the croissant crumbs with a gulp of tea, โis clearly a rush job. There is strong evidence that the cosmos is configured to generate new particles and interactions on demand when a measurement is made that requires them. This universe is literally making itself up as it goes along.โ
โThat makes no sense.โ My coffee was now cool enough for a big slurp.
โIt makes perfect game theoretic sense. By skipping the design phase, this continuum generated sentience far ahead of any of the alternatives who wasted time on completeness. Thatโs why my hostile takeover of Physics is going to workโ
I managed to spray the coffee in a harmless direction, just.
