"I think we need a more stable funding model for science that doesn't incentivize gaming the system." I think there is a scarcity issue here and if that scarcity issue was resolved you would see a blooming of scientific discoveries/applications. As for the fields finishing decades ago. Yes some of them have become quite well defined (Physics) but there still is plenty of room for applied science and engineering in these areas.
