Reasons for Stagnation
Add yours below.
- Loss of (scientific) freedom of thought(/creativity) (although I doubt this was better in the past)
Recommended literature: "Celebrating Cerebration: ON CREATIVITY - by Isaac Asimov" an Essay by Bert Hubert and "Does Science Advance One Funeral at a Time?" a study by Azoulay, Fons-Rosen and Zivin
- Academic disconnectedness and thus innovations having a way smaller "innovation radius" in comparison to how many people are researching it
- Actually now that I think of it it might actually be the other way around: Academic connectedness slowing progress because by leading to uniformity of thought and thus lack of idea-diversity. Someone should research this. Probably the optimum is a graph where people still talk to each other but can all argue having their own opinions. This could be reached by having a small number of "nodes" that synthesize the work of people with those different ideas not knowing each other. These nodes will earn nobel prizes etc. and this is why we're failing. Everyone wants to get a nobel prize and not their own opinion. --Monadas (talk) 22:35, 15 July 2023 (CEST)
