Description

After discussing some history of the hierarchy problem, I recast the hierarchy problem as a legitimate paradox. The premises and reasoning of the paradox are explained. I discuss how each premise has been attacked and what ideas are still standing and which directions are perhaps less interesting today after a generation of experimental and theoretical work.
