Ideas aren't getting harder to find, anyone who tells you otherwise is a coward

Adam Mastroianni argues that the widespread belief that "ideas are getting harder to find" is unfounded and potentially harmful, as it could discourage scientific discovery by making people think innovation is no longer worth pursuing. He contends that ideas only seem obvious in retrospect and that cognitive biases may be leading prominent thinkers to incorrectly conclude that most low-hanging fruit in research has already been discovered. The author asserts that people can still make meaningful discoveries if they believe it's worthwhile to try.
