>All of our natural phenomena is pretty much explained. Discovering something new is insanely difficult because of the academia barrier
I agree with everything you've said except for these two points. You know what modern science believes. Not everything has been explained, the things that can't are usually disregarded as untrue. Just go to a library, pick out a random book and read it. You will learn something new, I guarantee you.

I should've been more specific. Discovering something new as is being the first to realize a new fact or theory. Like how Newton, Einstein, Plato, etc were the firsts in their respective fields

Does that really matter though? Not saying any of those you mentioned, but a lot of information is stolen or wrongly accredited to people that didn't discover it.

I'm as I did in my original post, im trying to give examples where I think those involved in those pursuits felt as if their life meant something, or maybe it was fulfilling. I just think its super hard right now, with all of the technological advances we have, the almost complete automation of entertainment, and the relentless machine that is digital media makes it very hard to live. Unless your iq is 140+ and you're in a field that concerns history or science, there really isn't anything new to explore.

I hear you on what you're saying. Maybe I don't agree on some points but I understand and agree with your overall stance. This life is truly repetitive, and boring. It's unfortunate we have to live this existence. I wouldn't kill myself because of it, but damn does this life suck.
