Gross Tel Aviv perspective on string

[Haelfix]

SuSy loses its luster if its not found at LHC. It might exist at any scale thereafter, but no one really cares unless you do quantum gravity.

Meanwhile, the hierarchy problem will remain the fundamental current theoretical problem of physics (as it has been for the last twenty years), barring something unexpected happening at the LHC.

If it turns out that it is the hierarchy fact, I absolutely guarantee anthropic reasoning will start to become much more prevalent

Well, all the hierarchy is about, is to keep the higgs from divergences. The closer to the electroweak scale you get to stop it, the less fine-tuning you need.

My old point is that if the higgs, whatever it is, could be coupled to the QCD string, then the number of bosonic couplings exactly cancels the fermionic ones.
