Eric Weinstein argues that theoretical physics has endured a 42-year intellectual implosion since 1984, when Ed Witten's influence created a string theory monopoly (TOGIT) that suppresses alternative research through aggressive institutional gatekeeping, forcing dissenters to conceal their academic credentials to maintain access to departments.
