Has the evolution into modern society fucked current scientists and mathematicians from fulfilling their potential? Theres just so much distractions now compared to back then. There was literally nothing to do back then so all scientist and mathematicians like Gauss, Euler, etc. did was study and shit. If you gave them something like youtube or video games they wouldnt have gotten shit done like most of us today. Has our evolution into a better life become our downfall?
