What if we never have another scientific breakthrough again?It's a dramatic question designed to keep you reading and not at all likely - but it does get to the sexy heart of the unsexy question for this week's episode - are we going about science the wrong way?The tools we use, the incentive systems we build, and the limits of the discipline itself all shape how effectively we can come up with new scientific discoveries. What's more, the imperfect cracks in our existing systems are likely to become chasms as we lean upon AI advancements in our future learning.There is a lot of debate about how much trust we should put in science - but are we overlooking the possibility that it is science itself that is in crisis?Who better to explore this topic than returning guest Dr Jamie Freestone, who publishes on AI, meaning, nukes, books & brains at https://jamiefreestone.substack.com/Follow us at instagram @chrisendreypodcast and, to have input on future episodes, join our patreon (there's a free tier) at http://patreon.com/endrey00:00 - The State of Science: An Overview03:56 - Funding Science: The Allocation Dilemma06:19 - Innovations and the Role of Creativity09:22 - The Crisis of Scientific Discovery12:28 - AI in Scientific Research: A New Frontier14:58 - The Future of Science and Innovation21:24 - AI as a Catalyst for Scientific Discovery23:57 - The Paradox of Efficiency in Research25:53 - Blind Spots in Scientific Methodology27:44 - Challenging Established Scientific Laws37:22 - Limits of Scientific Knowledge and Understanding40:18 - Thanks Patrons :)
