Dear all,
These are excellent comments, I need time to digest.
But a quick note: Another part of the problem is the sheer volume of
scientific production, which actually is detrimental to progress:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2021636118
Here is and excerpt:
“The size of scientific fields may impede the rise of new ideas. Examining
1.8 billion citations among 90 million papers across 241 subjects, we find
a deluge of papers does not lead to turnover of central ideas in a field,
but rather to ossification of canon.”
Like many other areas, we need to slow down, but I am not sure how that can
be achieved, given the institutional pressures in place (sheer volume of
new PhD production is in the same bandwagon) . It feels like we are all
digging very deep holes with very very tiny needles.
All the best,
Ali
