New essay argues ideas are not getting harder to find
Original: Ideas aren't getting harder to find, anyone who tells you otherwise is a coward https://www.experimental-history.com/p/i
Adam Mastroianni, writing on his Experimental History blog, argues that the influential claim that scientific and technological ideas are getting harder to find is wrong, and he does so in characteristically combative style, saying anyone claiming otherwise is a coward. The piece challenges a widely cited view among economists and tech commentators who blame slowing innovation on exhausted 'low-hanging fruit'.
Why now: It pushes back against a popular and much-debated explanation for slowing innovation, drawing attention in tech circles.
