In the past science was driven by geniuses. Newton, Darwin, Tesla, Einstein, von Neumann etc. They all revolutionized science with deep fundamental insights.

Nowadays science is all about consensus. Scientists only produce a shitload of low or mediocre quality papers in order to get funding for their department. Does anyone else find it sad that there are no geniuses in science anymore? Who will be remembered as the great and most intelligent scientists of our time? I couldn't think of a single name whose inventions will make it into a history book of the future.
