A schizo narrative with no basis in reality.

>>16799337
After the bell labs researchers created computers and lasers, the last 50 years of science has been commercialization and improvement on those technologies instead of new and novel scientific research.

Yes pretty much. Now it's all about writing grants in latest fad to secure money. Can't blame the researchers tho because they also go through job reviews, and anyone without secured grant is likely kicked out soon. Now the hype is ai, everyone wants to include it in grant application anyhow

Scientific progress accelerated rapidly when Nazis were defeated, and gradually slowed down and regressed upon their return.
This is not simply correlation vs causation, but is a direct result of the modus operandi of the Nazis. Their power comes from placating the malcontents of the world and winning them to their side. They blame others for all the worlds problems and gain people to their side this way. But in doing so, they stop actually trying to fix stuff and instead focus on accumulating more power and blaming more people. They maximize this strategy, going so far as to creating new problems just to blame others, because doing so gives them power.

Read: generation. It was created in 1947, by WWII era scientists.

Not shit eating boomer faggots who contributed nothing to civilization except permanently destroying it and crippling future generations forever.

Transistors are literally just gates anyone would have figured them out eventually.

Its redtardedly simple both theoretically and irl in its earliest from.

Money was real back then and backed by gold. The US was the dominant superpower and had nearly limitless funding and resources for projects. The Soviets were able to chase them into the space race, but then the US switched to fiat and helped enslave the developed world under the IMF/BIS central banking pyramid scheme. It worked to defeat the Soviets, but it was a suicidal strategy in the long term as we see today. Not just science, but art, culture and society itself has also declined. Just as Rome once declined after expanding too far and gathering too many enemies of oppressed peoples, and so began several centuries of currency debasement, societal degeneration, government corruption and eventually collapse.

this happened because of christianity not because of rome, all christian countries turned weak and foolish no wonder they got stomped by barbarians, huns, muslims etc

Nigger, we modify our own genes and it mostly started a decade ago or so.
Faggot, now we have the internet which is a world wonder.
Kike, we have the ai, which makes the term higher intelligence unsuitable for what we call god.

Discovery of water on other planets is nothing burger?
What kind of discovery would you faggot expect? A genetic engineering turning you into a female slut?

technically the technology for the last one also happened, bioidentical estrogen is manufactured by fermentation with modified bacteria

Pretty crazy that we can't sequence dna/rna or use OLED screens, cellphones, CRISPR, IVF, cloning, stents, mRNA vaccines and MRI machines. Life would be so much better with those technologies, but alas, a retarded anon said they didn't exist

Stop defending your employer. You can't compare the theoretical discoveries in the 20th century with whatever bullshit is currently going on.
>>
>>16800109
> theoretical discoveries in the 20th century
jewish claws typed that
Meanwhile I am currently making my own discoveries. Maybe your grandchildren are going to learn about them, even though the academia is not welcoming new thought, it takes some other sets of skills to pull it through.
And the fact that you're demanding them, misunderstanding when shown, tells that you're not one of us, and thus should be quiet.

why cant they detect the higgs boson at 100% certainty?

Maybe because it doesn't exist.

You're a clueles mf. Why are you even on this board? The technology you hear of is invented decades ago not because it stopped, but because you only read pop-sci and hardy even understand it.

Nothing in your list comes close. Germans were experimenting with genetic modification even before the war. Electroluminescent research was all 1930s-1950s as well for your gay little oled screen.

I bet you are a college age fag that thinks ChatGPT is new technology and not just basic applied linear algebra discovered centuries ago.
>>

That's nice. It took Mendel twenty years to prove the world that he was onto something.
And people like him are suffering the same fate because of stupid all-knowing supermen like you.

An interesting way to look at it is to consider all of human activity as energy flow. Like in an economic sense.
When a society has surplus energy over its needs ( food, shelter ) then that excess can be applied to other areas.
It can be directed towards specialization ( division of labor ), or towards arts, or towards investment in innovation,
Human progress has been the result of pay off derived from investing excess energy in innovation.
A primitive example would be investing time and energy into making a bow and arrow. Resulting in more efficient hunting, creating even more surplus energy.
Of course the first bow to be invented was the work of a genius. Every bow after that was a refinement.
What we have today is a lot of refinement and a lot less genius.
That is not to say that the proportion of geniuses has dropped, but rather that they are not receiving the previous level of energy investment

Yet it is believed that the scientific progress is accelerating.
Just in few last decades we got all the internet, smart phones, sdd, actual gene therapies, murder drones, 3d-printing of all sorts, nanotech products, cryoprotectants for cryopreservation, ai everywhere, and as for theoretical frameworks, the stale big bang theory finally started to crack under the pressure of the actual astronomic data and actual scietific scrutiny.
And the list goes on. What are you even talking about?
>>
>>16801788
If "WW2 era scientists" means scientists born during WW2 then sure
>>
>>16802063
It means scientists who were active during ww2. Not boomers.
>>
>>16802073
Then clearly you don't think we can sequence genomes or use OLED screens, which is quite strange considering that you're probably using one to read this post right now
