Physicist here: This has a higher probability of being important than your usual science blog material. The Simons Foundation is a serious entity, backed with serious funds.
Arkani-Hamed had some compelling things to say recently at a talk and colloquium at our university; looking forward to learning more.
As I suspected, The Simons Foundation is backed by Jim Harris Simons, mathemetician and the most successful hedge fund manager of all time (Google Medallion Fund and Renaissance Technologies for more info). Cool.
