Is There a Tag War Problem in Quantum Gravity?
We cannot afford for an imperial culture to be telling other cultures that are trying to work on the same problems that they cannot exist because you've got everything wrapped up. My feeling about this is we have a Tag War problem coming out of quantum gravity that is stalling the core field in good science. There are so many theories and interesting people who are no longer with us because of this mad grab for resources quoting something like white man's burden, manifest destiny. We used to have a concept called unified field theory or unification that went away and it got supplanted by something called quantum gravity.
