What do you feel is lacking (if anything) in the scientific field today.

Thank you very much Michael for your quick response and for the challenging, but very interesting, question you raised. I've been interested so far in the advances of science and not its shortcomings, but in either case the answer very much depends on the perspective from which one looks at the question. From a fourth World perspective, science itself is lacking or virtually non existent. However, science today is driven by the first World, and its image as seen by a fourth World observer can be an interesting one.
But I think I need to do some homework and a bit of updating, and probably come up with an article or a new thread in a few days' time. I will try to focus on indigenous factors, shaping scientific trends, keeping in mind the prime interest in TOE, with minimal treatment of extraneous (policy/strategy) aspects impacting on the scientific endeavour, if that is fine..
Thank you once again for the marvelous work you are doing here, and warm greetings to all the community.
