I'm not sure CERN is needed for the things you cite. If anything, Oswald Spengler's idea that our culture is dead/dying fits all the pieces together: lack of real new creativity, everything being rehashed, authoritarianism keeping everything in place because the corrupt institutions add nothing to the work but only take.

Cern smashes tiny particles together, and they pretend their is some value or useful idea when they detect energies that are something like the ones they predicted would be create. Cern has done nothing of value, and I don't think they could do anything of harm just because they smash tiny things together. All the "woo" obscures how very little they actually accomplish. The sciences, all the sciences (and the arts) are due for a major paradigm shift but there is too much money and power at stake. Cern will look very silly, as will our ideas about health (vaxxing our way out of everything is silly, masks do more harm than good, we need Vit D but we had sun screen shoved down our throats over a skin cancer scare, ETC), and everything else, except the old institutions would rather rule over a dead culture than let us thrive.
