Why are there no great scientists anymore?
In the early 1900s, scientists were revolutionizing the world by leaps and bounds.
Modern day scientists only try to sell books and jerk off about theories made 100 years ago.
Where did all the brilliant minds go?

The brilliant minds are leaving academia, at most having a degree to be able to get a job in some field
The biggest factor for the decline of quality in academia, is due to the fact that they need the government to get funds

Before it worked like this:
>scientists wants funding, makes project to please federal politicians
>federal politicians wants votes, so they want to please local politicians for in-person election campaigns
>basically what gets funding is things that appeal to the somewhat educated boomers

Now it works like this:
>scientists wants funding, makes project to please some ideology
>federal politicians wants votes, so they want to please the ideological people through social media
>basically what gets funding is populist ideas that can be shouted around like memes

Science has been essentially weaponized. There is no more need for groundbreaking discoveries being made out into the public. A young brilliant scientist gets acquired quickly by intelligence agencies. We've all seen those documentaries that show UFOs that travel faster than our understanding of science. Wormholes are probably already a thing. Humanity is probably about 100 years ahead into advanced technology than the public is aware of. It's terrifying when you think about what they could be doing with this power, and they're not telling you.

As a boomer who used to ask for directions, look at a map, play video and audio tape recordings and had my pictures developed in the dark room of a local pharmacy some of the change in the last 20 years or so feels staggering.

You're an idiot. Funding is the entire reason why risks aren't taken. The NIH, DoD, and other agencies that fund science will not fund projects that are too 'out there'. Your grant will be rejected.

I think part of it is reporting bias.
We know about dead "geniuses" because their careers are "finished" and the significance of their life's work has been debated and digested by academia since then.
It's more difficult to recognize similar genius and influence while these people are still alive, because they've yet to complete their life's most important works and even once those are published the academic community needs to examine and evaluate them.
And, heck, we're still hearing about long-dead people who made important discoveries or contributions that were just poorly received at their time and later re-discovered by someone else.

The guy who invented the battery only used moist cardboard, scrap metal, and some wires. He did it through trial and error. There was no complicated math or sophisticated laboratory compared to what scientists use today. Regardless of his intelligence, it's hard to argue the level of difficulty is the same as what is encountered by current scientists.

Anon, how would you discover Pythagoras theorem, without knowing how to read or to do basic math at all? Not even having access to pen and paper?
Today you are forced to learn a lot of random things in school, have microscopic computers on children's toys, you can pretty much order anything online, access to knowledge not only from .pdf books but also video lectures from all around the world

To invent a battery was the level of difficulty of inventing something new today, come on you might even have access to a particle accelerator if you are born in the right family or have the right connections (like the inventors of the past, who weren't common people most of the time)

The problem today is: >>105822071
People who can invent something new are pushed against it, under a ton of bureaucracy, intrigue, collectivist/conformist culture
Even if you do come up with something incredible, it will only be known by the population in decades

my claim wasn't that "there are still easy discoveries to be made." it was mocking the very premise that scientists/engineers were only more prolific because the inventions of their day were "easy" to discover. it's pure cope.

mostly because low hanging fruit has been picked up. a ton of grand general things (like electricity or quicksort) have been discovered already. so either you are discovering a niche thing or betting your life that there is another grand discovery out there. there might not be.

Did you even read my post completely? My point was that scientists back then didn't need to do such heavy legwork to make great discoveries. You're comparing math to science. Those are different subjects even if they're related. Obviously, you can't make new math discoveries without understanding the foundation, but it's not necessarily the same for science. Back then, many discoveries were just stumbled upon without scientists predicting them first. They did the math after the discoveries. Now it's more trying to predict potential discoveries through mathematical models.

A particular accelerator is much more complicated and expensive setup than tinkering with a box of junk in a garage. Why would you need such expensive equipment if discoveries are easy? If anything, culture is less conformist now than in the past. With social media, you can easily broadcast your ideas or discoveries. You can easily ask rich people for funding if your idea is viable. Why isn't anyone doing it if there are supposedly many easy discoveries to be made?

All the smartest people went to finance and now science is done by women. Seriously. All the big trading firms on Wall Street hire physics grads now instead of finance people. Some like Jane Street give an intern a starting salary of over 500k. Why would they do science?

I'm not saying that new discoveries are easy, but that the access to expensive equipment is way easier than before
Think about how if you wanted to get some rare specific material, you would have the same effort that it is to have access to a particle accelerator, while nowadays you can buy on ebay

Culture is not less conformist, you just have more access to information but at the same time the criticism is bigger
If you try to broadcast your ideas, they are often
>ignored for not being trendy
>punished by government or experts
>stolen for profit
My point about conformist, is that the culture in the past used to be way more accepting of new ideas, now everyone's skeptical of everything
Rich people also don't go funding non-charitable ideas, since they are afraid of being associated with some scam or a bad idea, while often being scammed by idiotic within-conformism ideas at the same time

I mean, look at this in a micro-level, how would you announce a new project here?
People don't understand it if it's complex, people criticize if there's already something similar that exists
Anything without meme-value is ignored, and the same thing happens in a broader sense

Anon computers can be so small they're invisible to the naked eye now, we're on the verge of great breakthroughs in thorium based power, some form of nuclear fusion and a guy lived for 100 days with a titanium mechanical heart in his chest.
We can 3D print limbs and resurrect (via extreme gene modification) ancient extinct animals on top of being able to flat out rewrite them into cooler ones.

I never understood the logic behind this theory. What would be the point of spending decades hoarding all of that tech just to do nothing with it? What is the plan here? Yeah bro we have star trek replicators in area 51, no you can't see it right now because we're saving it for later. What the fuck are they saving it for? Why doesn't america just open a wormhole over putin and shoot him in the head? Why not give taiwan an invincible force field and then tell china to fuck off? What's stopping trump from using this top-secret tech to teleport the houthis out of existence? Believing this requires explanations for so much other shit.

Are you saying technical progress isn't an S curve? Do you think there are just infinite ways to do things, infinite ways to interpret the universe? You can create infinite inventions that are technically new but totally useless, if that's all you're after. The useful, world changing inventions are harder to come by now because all the easy ones got figured out first. Do you think learning how to make functional LLMs is on the same level of complexity as making a lightbulb?

Elon has never designed anything in his life.
He didn't play any part of PayPal outside of parent's funding.
He bought Tesla, hired engineers, and funded it. Played no part in the actual engineering.
He started SpaceX and partnered with Tom Mueller, an actual engineer, to get the company going.
He's done nothing with The Boring Company and it's a failed idea.
The dude has only financed things, and while he may be a good financier, he has no credentials for being an actual engineer.
People praising Elon are actual fucking idiots.

This is unironically true.
Maybe not smart, but I'm certainly genuinely interested in science and all the women I know IRL are never afraid to say how much they're turned off by it.
Of course, we're going into the same field, so I don't know what the fuck it means that they see pining for excellence in our field to be a "bad" thing

Though, they are also the absolute prototypical "women in stem" stereotype, getting other male classmates to help them out in classes due to not understanding the material and have been "failing upwards" for the past few years.

Back in the 1900s, scientists were concerned with inventing and discovering things. Now, scientists are concerned with doing Science™. Entire generations of scientists have been conned into thinking that the "scientific method" is the only way to discover new knowledge.
