I understand the idea but I worry that perspective doesnt account for the reality that we live in today. With studies and experiments you have to ask yourself : who is doing the work? who is funding the work? The people who are doing the work may have biases ranging from "how do I get published?" To "how do I get paid". Additionally, a sample size for a test costs money. How many samples does it take to consider it worthy of repeating? How many times should a single experiment be repeated? Usually people funding think, "how does this help me?" Which can range from "I have cancer" to "I'll make a profit". The gov on the otherhand may be more lenient but how much of your taxes do you want to use on experiments that may be useless? The concept of "dark ages" doesnt consider what our climate really is. There are limited resources and few people with those resources believe they should be stolen to fund projects they dont care about. There is plenty Id like to be studied such as - is education memorization or pattern recognition? - at what degree does exercize enable / prevent education - what is the zone and how do minds get put into the zone? But Im fairly confident these will never be studied because nobody wants to do the work and funders See cern and mars as more interesting ventures
