This subject, "Let's Reverse All Scientific Discovery and Inventions", may seem like a very great and gigantic task, but it turns out to be a simple one.
That is to say, in comparison with making the scientific discoveries, and with bringing the inventions into being, and with bringing the inventions into general use and market, the reversal of all scientific discovery and inventions does not require much intelligence or effort, and can be accomplished by one generation of people especially groomed and fitted for the task.
Or so it seems for the future of science.

It can be accomplished by a single individual in a single field if the circumstances are right. Trofim Lysenko is a good example. And the result of his control was famine which arguably killed millions of people in the USSR.Brigit wrote: ↑Fri Feb 03, 2023 9:46 pmThis subject, "Let's Reverse All Scientific Discovery and Inventions", may seem like a very great and gigantic task, but it turns out to be a simple one.

Hi BaC. Yes, Lysenko.
But I was thinking of the most broad and general scientific terms imaginable. There is a joke in England:
Q: What did we have before candles?
A: Electricity.
