The Symbiosis of Innovation and Global Economic Dynamics
The Problem with the culture of Science, we are in world of Epicurean, Hedonism Complacency where the Dominant idea is that there's not much you can do, you should just accept the stagnation of your lives the Stagnation of the West. You should accept the idea that the Younger generation will do less well than their parents.

This Senescence of Scientific culture the bites by one Measure,
We have about hundreds times as many scientists today as we had in 1920, about a hundred times as many people with PhDs on a most generous count progress is about at the same rate as then probably quite a bit slower and so the productivity of these people has gone way down.
It's not because we have hit natural limits, It's because there's something deeply wrong with :
a) The University Culture, b) Academic Culture, and c) Funding culture.
"where you can do incremental things there's no room for Heterodox thought no room for really big Breakthroughs".
What's gone wrong it's like people would like to Rationalize things and the Scientists that have not made progress on Cancer you know they like to say we didn't get enough' Money, no they got plenty of money.
> Next line of defense is nobody could have done better.
> It's just too hard a problem and, we should be skeptical of these alibis and these Rationalizations. and way that's sort of fundamentally the way These things are, and work in our society.
