Johann levgrin says he is worried that the issue of naturalness is being swept under the rug from effective field theory principles. We expect the standard model higgs mass and cosmotro constant to be much larger than what we have measured. The only room for changing the dynamics of the known fields is in their higher order interactions, riht how an electron a interacts with two photons at once,. or something like that.
