>Can we educate people for 30 years just to make them do simple things because technology went too far?
No but we certainly can cut the bloated curriculum and specialize in a precise subject, over making it as broad as possible and stuffing it up with useless shit so the insane prices charged for such a cheap mass-produced freely-available-on-the-net service are justified and people keep indebting themselves to study things they didn't even enroll for.

>Soon you'll require a PhD to understand only the basics of some of the technologies.
>"some"
Kek, you are so naïve.

>How do humans keep up with complexity of science?
We make tools, technology, data storage devices that make it easier to look up said information.

Some large research groups have a group "librarian", a post doc who is following the publications and highlight what the rest of the group should read. When I did my PhD we were told to spend one day of the week in the research library, keeping abreast of the latest development in our field.

There are companies that track nearly all publications, categorises and classify these and let you do a search string on publications. That is also a way to track what is hot. Services like that are also used in patenting, by Patent Offices as well as patent law firms and in house patent departments.

It is already a huge problem and it will grow, until we reach the knowledge event horizon.

Division of labor. Each individual understands a smaller portion of the technologies and no one person truly understands the whole thing, except maybe at a very, very coarse-grained level. That's why "design by committee" is such a common thing, because everything require a committee to design it. Most computer chips use designs and components from all over the world.

This is why journals such as Science and Nature exist: to make sure scientists in one field do read what is happening in other fields, if only neighbouring fields. I have experienced what happens when people do not keep up, it was a huge embarrassment.

SENS, that way time isn't an issue for teaching, or for keeping specialists in the field.

Some clever guys will tell the less gifted how to do shit and they will carry out orders like the betas they are.

Just vote Bernie and yall get education for free. But US people are to brainfcked to get it.

The great thing about actually understanding something and working with it on a daily basis means you get better and better and boiling concepts down in digestible and relational ways.

How does that relate to the topic?

>implying 20 years of studies are required to understand stuff which was found out 300 years ago

people just need to be a bit more concentrated

Biological immortality, end of aging, rejuvenation. People would have all the time in world (until they die from accident, murder, severe illness or suicide), and their brains would never deteriorate like they do know with aging.

>The amount of knowledge keeps doubling or tripling every few decades
literally a lie. we've learned very little in the last 70 years compared to the previous 70 years.

Knowledge is not necessary breakthroughs. Just information on the financial situation is knowledge, and the details grow so fast that there now is a bias for last 2 years or so, even if your history goes back 100 years.
