Frank -

I discovered the same a while back but accepted it as a consequence of something I had observed too many times. I don't suspect anyone here of this behaviour, but I have seen "outsider" folks at the colloquia choosing to ask self-aggrandizing questions which diverted the conversation badly. I also imagine that with a pop-star like Cormack McCarthy, there were more "groupie" types trying to meet him, etc.

I still don't like feeling (mildly) unwelcome up there, but it just reminds me to "groom" my few connections there *for* invitations when the topic is specifically apt to my line of work/interest.

I don't know about economic equality but they've reduced their embrace of intellectual equality. The public is no longer welcome at their colloquia "without an invitation". Only "community events" are available to others.

    Nicely noticed!

    The letter is very nice but based on the (possibly false) premise
    that they want economic equality, believe in climate change, and
    want to avoid cascading conflicts.

        I'm impressed with SFI's response to the ban on immigrants:

            The recent ban on immigrants to the Unites States is a
            dangerous and simplistic step that ignores the complexity
            of our networked world.
