What killed grand theories?

Low hanging fruit has been picked and the complexities of trying to solve anything let alone entire fields has long since passed what one man can achieve. Early grand theory was at least based on some evidence, you could become relatively well versed in multiple topics and then combine them in a way that passes the sniff test, even if it turns out to be wrong in the end you still had credible reasons to believe it to be true based on real evidence and logical deduction. Today grand theories are exclusively the field of schizos who not only deal with no evidence but almost always contradict basic facts about the fields they try to solve simply because they aren't experienced on said fields even on a basic level.

Nothing, but you will never have the knowledge to make one without specialised knowledge. Your image is larping retard cope. YWNBAP.

They keep getting more grand. Gets harder.

You can only re-establish that everything in the world is made up of the same fundamental thing so many times.

If you are DEALING with schizos who don't function by principle of evidence, then sometimes you have to say "because I said so".

Not even Hegel understood Hegel. It's why even the people who dislike him still read his books, as it's at least worth it for the bit. I procured reading knowledge of German to be able to study him and I have no regrets.

There are lots of grand theories. They're just grand within a hyperspecialization.

Though I guess a theory is only REALLY grand if it unites ontology with some kind of social, economic or political theory
