    I enjoyed speaking with @EconTalker about the piece @michael_nielsen and I wrote last year about progress in science: http://www.econtalk.org/patrick-collison-on-innovation-and-scientific-progress/ …. (Article: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/11/diminishing-returns-science/575665/ ….)

        Isn't the perception of magnitude of past discoveries by current scientists unavoidable given that earlier discoveries were necessarily made at lower more general layers of science (as you point out)?

        The key problem here is transmission fidelity. Tacit knowledge and inarticulate heuristics no longer pass from masters to apprentices. Mass-production education has fatally undermined traditional apprenticeship, with dire effects. http://bit.ly/1X1QmZy  / http://bit.ly/2CcpYcN

        Scientific investigation is an art. Its state of health should be compared with that of other arts. Narrative fiction, (classical) musical performance, and drama all still produce acclaimed and successful masters. In these arts, the traditions of apprenticeship remain strong.

        What about: marginal scientist is lower quality, bringing down the average.

        Was a greet discussion. Thought Jim March's work on how learning from experience can stifle innovation complements the discussion quite wellhttp://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100866190 …

        Russ, I just listened to this podcast and I was surprised you didn’t ask @patrickc about kicking out from his payments system people found guilty of wrong-think through some unspecified process, which seems to be a trend today in the payment industry that should worry most of us.
