scientists then
>Nichopedes of Euripides measured the circumfrence of Neptune using a leaf, a rock, his severed finger, and shadows.
>Augustus Aquintosh was an 18th century English priest known for his contributions to mathematics, logic, theology, physics, the cataloguing of ladybugs, and the theory of aesthetics.
Scientists now
>Chaim Herschelstein is a New York born Harvard Neuro-Neurologist-Psychologist who is known for his theory that brain scans and experimental psychology can give fundamental information about free will, the big bang, the existence of God, and the identicalness of all races and genders.
>Tae Sun Woo is an American mathematician who skipped 15 grades and university years from the age of 1 and who has made fundamental contributions in Delta-Sigma-Banach-Triploski Onomatoepoeaic Implosion theory.
Is specialisation / modernity cancer?

I don't understand your point.
>Is specialisation / modernity cancer?
Yes.

one word: being paid for thought experiments
Compare the amout of wisdom then and now and you will understand that its neccessary to specialize. Furthermore please do not forget those ancient sientists had their woman and other slaves to wipe their ass. that means more freetime obviously.
Wow it's almost like we figured out the easy shit 2 thousand years ago and only the complicated shit is left to find out.

>waaaaah I was born in the wrong millenium
If you weren't a NEET living in his parents' basement and actually specialized in something, you'd realize how idiotic your post was.

I feel the same desu though
Science seems like it would be easier in the past
Don't worry. When history has a few centuries to turn Tae Sun Woo and Chaim Herschelstein into revolutionary gods of logic, your descendants will think of them the same way you think of Nichopedes and Aquintosh.
