The last 75 years of nothing is because of Neoliberalism. It is not conventially profitable to spend government funds on scientific exploration. Government funds are used to counter tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. Along with just stealing the money through various means.
I agree with you for the most part. We’ve seen companies with dominance just sit on innovation and basically slow play it when competition keeps up, or go straight to lawfare or popularity contests (Intel cough cough). Kinda sucks we place more importance on the resources used to arrive at innovation than the practicality of those innovations. But where we’re at now, it’s like peeling an onion and what everyone wants to find is 3 layers down, so it’s not like we can build more LHCs to smash particles, because the things we need to find are a couple skips past that point. We eventually find it, what next?
