Hey, but at least we are not getting the psychotic missives of you know who on this list. The simplicity idea has troubles. The dS spacetime is a broken vacuum structure, and the QFT principles we observe are a set of redundancies. QCD can be obtained from CFT_4, but with broken conformal group and a reduction in dimension. It is then a messy bundle of gauge redundancies that are NOT stable. We live in something similar to Cumrun Vafa's swampland. This instability is far more grave then the stability of the proton. It means the stability of spacetime itself is local and temporary.
