>You imply your view "matches REALITY", then fall back to "Either way this is also opinion based." Nicely played.
Oh fuck off. Opinions exist in reality do they not? Pessimism implies biased opinions that are biased towards negativity. My opinions bias towards reality, aka what I observe, not what is negative.
There , clear?
>But the actual reality is that scientific discovery is proceeding at least as fast as it ever has.
No it's not. Space is the best example of this. Computing speed is another example. We are hitting physical barriers to technology and discovery in every practical dimension.
>There's important work happening in solid state physics and materials science. JWST is overturning old theories and spawning new ones in cosmology. There's every reality-based reason to believe there will be plenty of big changes in science in the next 20 years or so.
Astronomy? Give me a break we're trying to infer what's millions of light years a way of course we're going to be stumbling and getting shit wrong all the time. A step function in Astronomy is actually going to the stars. I guarantee even your great great great grandchildren won't go to one.
