Overall knowledge IS increasing. Scientific, medical and engineering breakthroughs are still occurring at an exponential rate. With the help of computing, probably more so than at any point in human history.

We have a small group of producers who are beginning to unlock the secrets of the entire Universe. On the other hand we also have a majority population decaying from sloth and willful ignorance. We also have a parasitic elite that uses government corruption to rob everyone.

You believe we talking monkeys (homo sapiens) will unlock all the ultimate secrets of the Universe? I don’t. We’re barely above the level of apes. An alien species capable of interstellar travel WOULD consider us apes. True, we have learned a lot, but I think we will eventually hit a brick wall our finite brains won’t be able to get through. Consider space travel. China invented chemical propelled rockets in the 3rd century,,,1800 years ago. We’ve added tweaks and sophistication, but we’re still basically using the same propulsion system China invented almost 2 thousand years ago. No paradigm shifting breakthroughs. And take Physics as a whole. Einstein made his huge, paradigm shifting breakthrough with the Theory of Relativity in 1905,,,over a century ago. Since then, no big breakthroughs on a scale that big.
