The commenter was talking about biology and you are talking about physics. Just because your view of one field stagnates doesn't mean the rest of science doesn't, and your quip about stamp collecting (referring to that sneering quote) means you are thinking in memes and are not a serious interlocutor
- noosphr 3mo agoUnderstanding how a bunch of baroque proteins interact is the definition of stamp collecting. As a meat bag made up of such machines I appreciate it for what it is. As a intelligence capable of abstraction I don't measure our progress in science by the number of stamps in our collection. There are no big ideas, biology included, because peer review is only there for small ideas.

- throwaway676712 2mo ago"Co-author" lol we both know what that means. Still, if that's true that makes it even sadder. Hope you mature and broaden your horizons at some point instead of engaging in undergrad-style petty field rivalries
