  1. I think the major problem is current publishing methods. Journals publish only "new" and "interesting" research and researchers get evaluated by the amount of papers the can get published. Veritasium made a great video about the issue with the title "Is Most Published Research Wrong?" – it nicely explains why things cannot get better unless we can introduce better measurement of researcher quality.
