The Decline of Science and Technology

There has been a general stagnation in science and technology outside of the computer field, contributing to a decline in progress. The focus on cultural battles and identity politics has distracted from the more important economic and scientific questions. The decline in science and technology has been accompanied by a shift towards pursuing DEI grants and diversity, which may be a way to avoid confronting the bigger questions in science and technology. It is important to address the stagnation in scientific progress and redirect attention towards economic growth and the real challenges that need to be tackled.
