Is human generalizable?

It appears not. Most humans do nothing and a precious few do a lot. A century ago, a few humans — Maxwell, Einstein, and Plank, made a leap in knowledge. Since then we have been swimming in ignorance. And, it looks like it will be a long time before any new knowledge will be revealed.

It is sad. Real knowledge is valuable and few have the capability to extract it. It is as if God is playing a cruel game allowing an insignificant number of humans to see it. As most struggle to stay alive and collect enough energy to perpetuate themselves and pass on their genes, knowledge is a hot commodity afforded to a few who have the luxury to nourish it.

Is knowledge valuable for an individual in a constrained regime of time and space? It depends. It is only useful if the individual wants to break out of the stats-quo. If one wants to stay in the present, knowledge provides little incremental value. So, ultimately it all depends on the objective function of the individual.

Is human generalizable? Certainly, not.
