A billion dollars' research into AI would be more beneficial than another billion spent on CERN.

The Standard Model covers well over 99% of known physics already. Other moneys are being wasted paying students and professors to study string theory w/o any experiments possible.

Let's develop some true AI and let it close the gap. Two birds, one stone. [And maybe we can find out how we do analogies, at the same time!]
