>>12894948The last time I discovered something practical that I shared with the rest of the lesser humans was the 1980s. I was the first researcher to figure out that the way grapefruit juice amplified LSD was an effect that was occurring with a lot of other drugs when they were taken with grapefruit juice. I also discovered the mechanism of activity. None of this was credited to me and I didn't benefit from sharing the knowledge with the general public in any way. Various know-nothings that had purchased university qualification were the people who benefited, I was subjected to public character assassination because they didn't want me around claiming credit for their discovery, I ended up in jail for six months.
Since then I've made a good number of other practical, useful discoveries, but I keep them all to myself and I plan to take them with me to my grave.
The story of how I figured out the grapefruit connection is a good one, but I don't tell it because I don't want to share deductive reasoning secrets.
