The way of philosophers: the conclusion

• If we follow the road of speculations, we will perish.

• Society will stop supporting us.

• There will be no money (no jobs, no grants).

John Horgan was the first layman (a journalist) to observe that theoretical physics might be going this way. He invented the term “ironic science”. Remember his face:

If we go the wrong way, people like him (smart laymen) will bomb us. (With some help from philosophers.)
