Paradigmatic progress in the sciences has stalled since the 1970ies. There is disagreement about whether we have just figured out all the relevant paradigms, or whether we shifted from answering questions (which is cross disciplinary) to applying methods (cementing disciplines).

Every scientist I know agrees that would be better if scientists would not distort their work because they need to look for tenure and grants, and instead the tenure and grants were looking for them. :)

All the REAL scientists I've known didn't see tenure as their goal. Nor grants. Nor public acclaim. these were seen as minor and potentially necessary evils that go along with being a human on this planet at this time.
