I think this is one of the biggest trends impacting society right now. Probably the biggest. It's huge and voat is the only place I really see it discussed.
Peter Theil and the late David Graeber have both remarked on technological stagnation but they've both steered very far from the biggest reason behind it.
Theil may get it but even if he did he can't say it. Graeber probably died without ever understanding the true causes (he was Jewish so the down side of diversity would be a complete blind spot).
I watched a video of a fringe scientist talking about alternative theories about electricity and that sort of thing. Naturally someone in the audience asked him about free energy and he said he wasn't that interested in it. He said it may have made sense in Tesla's day but earth's population is too high now so everyone using exotic energy sources would be a problem.
The waste heat would create real global warming (not the fake co2 kind). That explanation doesn't quite work though. You could just have all the industrial stuff in space.
We can read between the lines though and see what he really meant. Openly using exotic tech means every other hostile ethnic group weaponizing it against us and attempting to use lawfare and political treachery to keep us from benefiting from it.
I think the US response to UFOs and related super science can be understood through the same lens. Within a few years of developing nuclear weapons the program was immediately infiltrated by communist Jews who turned over the blue prints to the USSR.
Of course the military is going to keep all high technology off the books after that. They may not say to themselves that they're keeping it from non whites but the social forces at work are what they are.
