I can tell you're not an R&D type then. The truth is that inventions and discoveries are happening so fucking fast and so fucking constantly that everyone kinda takes them for granted. This is most obvious in medical research fields, but is also obvious in technical fields like computers and pure math.
Is it increasingly harder to make new discoveries...

The difference now is that individual researchers no longer get the credit for a new invention or idea. They are almost always created by teams of researchers, or by researchers building on the work of other researchers building on the work of other researchers. As a result you have fewer Einstein style a-ha moments in science. But the results are just as profound, if not more profound.

I hate this. I'm not the teamworking type and I have no particular love for helping humanity either.

As a random for example, go take a look at all the modern medicines that can be used in treatment for multiple sclerosis. Now in 1990, the ONLY possible treatment for MS was corticosteroids to reduce some of the inflammation temporarily. Since 1990, there are like a dozen drugs that apparently CURE MS for a significant percentage of people. You didn't hear about it because this kind of shit is happening all the time now.

They're really just fine tuning the technical shit. The theories have been around forever.
These aren't "scientific advances", no matter how much you get paid.

Go look at the Minimed 670G. It is basically an artificial pancreas for type 1 diabetes. Go look at Opdivo, it's a drug that causes cancer patients who typically died in a year, to be alive in 5 years.

Actually I didnt hear about it because whether it actually works or not is questionable.
Blake Taylor
No, they are not fine tuning technical shit, and yes these are huge technical advances if your life depends on them. You need to get over that misanthropy if you wanna change the world, all this work was done by people who actually want to make the world a better place.

"make the world a better place"
lol. Ive heard that before...
