Next up in the talks from the #NaturalPhilosophy Symposium: Nima Arkani-Hamed offers Two Cheers for Shut Up and Calculate. (He previously was giving three cheers, but he's changed his mind just a bit.) Comments from me, of all people.

Fun piece from @rossandersen.bsky.social about the "Hubble tension"--the problem that different methods for measuring the expansion of the universe give apparently incompatible results, which is leading some researchers to believe that something is drastically wrong with standard cosmological ideas.
