I feel like the more nationalized and bureaucratized scientific study has become, the less innovation it has produced.
There are apparently so many scientists now busying themselves with little other than writing grant applications, i.e. begging other bureaucrats for money.
There hasn't been a major advance in physics since the 1960s.
Material science has mostly succeeded in putting more plastic in everything.
The technological process I'm glad to be able to see is almost entirely driven by engineers using known scientific principles in new and clever ways, but the big questions not only remain unanswered, they're buried by DEI statements, gender studies grants, and pointless observations concerning the ability of krill to use treadmills.
In the days of gentlemen naturalists, new stuff would come flying at you at such a bewildering pace that people couldn't help but imagine a phantastical space-faring civilization living in abundance by the year 2000.
