Have we raced to the bottom?I'll admit that this topic gets me a little hot under the collar.
"There's nothing left to invent." "All the great discoveries have been made." "Bring back the good old days." Enough.Those quotes -- and countless others -- have been proven wrong. The conditions that got us here will
not necessarily be the same conditions that take us to the next level. Because of that, you can't assume that the natural leveling out of conditions will bring innovation to a halt.
There are myriad things left to discover. The innovative -- and disruptive -- mind will find ways to bring ideas to life, even as abundances change. That's why it's called
change.
Ignore it all you like. Pontificate on why it can't possibly continue. Just step to the side a bit and let the rest of us keep moving forward, OK?
