The underlying processes are mostly understood. You know, the actually interesting thing.
What remains to be done is just busywork

We already understand how cells grow, communicate and what they are made of.
>new substances and properties never seen before
Just as we know what substances are made of and how they get the properties they have.
Just a lot of missing details.
We have books that teach you the fundamentals and books that teach you the way to new discoveries.
We can program machines to do it. It's busywork.

Yeah, pretty sure God knocked that out in like a week. Just dump on the intern's desk on the Friday and tell him its due on Monday, it'll get done.

Wrong. I'm not wasting my time doing anything to improve a society that never invested in me. If it wants me to subsist paycheck to paycheck to work every day under durress, and worse over enacts policy that undermines the young fit intelligent and healthy (importing competitors for jobs and housing, spending trillions on old fucks), I will not do a damned thing to improve it.

No one says this. You learn the fundamentals at school. There's no point in discussing organic compounds we can't synthesise when you don't even know what an organic compound even is. No point in talking about what we don't know about the human body when you have zero idea what we do know.

Did this approach lead you to a satisfying life? Why should the society invest in someone that has no interest doing anything for it? Seems to me like you're the very thing you hate.

So he became what society made him into
that's not his fault
that's the societal consequences of society's actions
imagine not trying to maximizing your own monetary gains and helping your family while trying to make life for others harder
clans are objectively superior to supporting larger communities or individualism.

You have discovered that since education is run by the government, nothing of value is taught. This is because the government wants ignorant, unquestioning tax cattle and cannon fodder who follow orders while being living collateral on the state's trillions of dollars of debt. Libertarianism is the only solution, and as you can intuit, it's not happening any time soon.

Thanks for proving that society aka other individuals in a shared community don't actually care about others. The only reason you pretend to care is so you can extract work and gains from my efforts without having to adequately compensate me.

But we don't understand the complex processes of multi cellular organisms and the butterfly effects on the protein chains that make them up, which is what actually matters to the future of biotechnology and medicine.

The Roman empire collapsed due to mass immigration, not Duttongenics

>Despite comprising diverse individuals of central European, northern African, and Near Eastern ancestry, the local gene pool is largely maintained across the first millennium BCE. This drastically changes during the Roman Imperial period where we report an abrupt population-wide shift to ~50% admixture with eastern Mediterranean ancestry.

A good example is coal tar. It's been used for a century to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and different forms of dermatitis, but nobody has isolated the active ingredient or even understands the biological pathways by which it works.

we may not have thoroughly explored/developed every square meter of the earth, but we all know there's no 8th continent. The age of exploration is over. Similarly, we've exhausted all the different fields of science which exist, but that doesn't necessarily mean we know how to synthesize every theoretical molecule. The age of scientific exploration concluded in the 20th century. All that's left now are engineering problems.

Science still cant explain the solubility of sodium chloride in water at different temperatures.
As in, there is no model, equation or simulation to predict how much sodium chloride can dissolve in water at some given temperature.
Of course the amounts are known and a child can do the measurements, but the results are completely experimental. Which is fine, at least you can check tables.
But for something like a mix of salts, say a mix of sodium, iron, chlorides and sulfates, all mixed in water, you have no way to predict their solubility.
Theres nearly infinite amount of soluble compound mixes whos solubility is impossible to predict, because you are not going to test every mix that can exist. Theres tables for pure substances, and usually only for their solubility in water.
Imagine trying to predict the solubility of a mix of salts in a mix of solvents, like some mix of water, ethanol and ether. You would never be able to predict that

No, it's like saying exploring past the known world will be boring because it will be more or less like the known world.
You know how old maps say 'here be dragons' for terra incognita? Well, we know there are no dragons.
The next rock in space that we find will be exactly like the other millions we've already found.
