You see substantial evidence for scientific progress(*1). Nevermind old tales, 
but there are also scientists today who know quite well that decline or a period
of stagnation are an outcome following a period of great progress. Actually, 
the pace of progress has been different in various fields of science. Great 
progress must be recognizable in computer science with processors crunching an 
immense number of calculations. Stagnation must be more evident in agricultural 
science. Yet it's tricky to argue that food distribution and quality hasn't 
increased together with quantity (see *2). Some regions experience a great 
increase in food quality, others not. Those of the faithful who believe that 
food distribution and quality has sufficiently increased until now, go better 
hurry to get into politics for the advocacy of global fast food chains.


Regarding the recruitment of young intelligent individuals for science, it will 
be better to watch all regions where these people are located. For an 
intelligent pupil in the Central African Congo: if all of your compatriots will 
be fine without eating bush meat, also known as monkey flesh (sometimes a 
pygmy's getting cannibalized too), be my guest! For a young Rajasthali 
http://rajasthalicryonics.org aspirant with an IQ above 130: nothings better 
than chewing on mom's apron strings? OK, that sucks, but mom got a bit dry with 
the current economic situation in Madhya Pradesh yet. Ha, ha, was only 
joking(*2), there's scientific progress (see *1) for more milk ever while food 
quality has always increased. Therefore, I can also refer to one suggestion 
someone gave me when I bemoaned my own problem: eat one less pizza per month and
you have enough money for cryonics.
