Very interesting, thanks! I’m not 100% sure, but I think maybe “progress studies” is an up and coming new field, or perhaps a field that’s being revitalized. I’m thinking specifically of recent work by
@patrickc and@tylercowen. Also this blog:https://rootsofprogress.org/ -
This looks fascinating. Thank you!

Yes. But also no. It's awesome to encourage left-field exploration. Simultaneously, we should be vigilant about survivorship bias: visible research outputs are (usually) only the things that worked/succeeded, not all the failures along the way.
