An interesting question...

Why are modern scientists so dull? How science selects for perseverance and sociability at the expense of intelligence and creativity

Why are so many leading modern scientists intellectually dull
and lacking in scientific ambition? The short answer is: because
the science selection process ruthlessly weeds-out interesting
and imaginative people.
