for context 22 billion is a few billions less than what elon musk overpaid for twitter. i don’t think a bigger collider will do anything but I’d like for humanity to have this rather than whatever the fuck the rich are doing now.
Cern has produced quite some interesting systems for software and data management. I am sure the added value of the work is beyond just understanding particles.

Yeah… And at least this will generate jobs… And not reduce them like it did on Xitter.

LHC and previous colliders did a lot of science. You don’t need to think, there are facts.
You should think again about what they actually can do.
