    Good point! I wonder if we’re spoiled by computer invention though. Would be interesting to compare preWW2 invention rates and now. I suspect computers just made everything else easier, but now we’re back to hard problems

      Agreed. These are genuinely difficult problems that aren’t going to get solved by our current crop of silicon valley “geniuses”.
