I think that we don't meet many geniuses because they are off doing their own thing in research labs. Look at MRNA vaccines, just a few people toiling for decades have saved millions of lives. But fret not, innovation should only continue as more people are brought up and educated than we've ever been able to in the past. Incremental change will get more helpers. Plus we aren't stunting generations with lead poisoning by and large anymore, which certainly reduced the amount of minds that can handle super specialized endeavors.
