Except science?
Or does that not count as a human endeavour or pursuit?

In modern science however it is corporately avoided like the plague.

Can you point at anything that might back up this assertion?
And if you can spare the time, perhaps you can educate me as to how something is corporately avoided and how this differs from avoiding in general?

The typical modern scientist is not like those that came before him/her.

Agreed. The modern scientist operates in a very different environment, both as a result of knowledge inherited from past generations and also from a very different operating environment. For example due to constraints associated with the need to obtain and maintain funding.
However I don't see how that is at all relevant to any of the earlier discussion.

There are exceptions of course - like my friend Robert, but they are far and few in between.

I have a friend who has three children.
I have another friend who is currently overseas on a holiday.
Perhaps we can discuss whether puppies are more cute than kittens?

(its also creeping into traditional art forms such as music, which inherently thrive on creative inputs and outputs. Corporatised jingles and crap all over the place - where are the musical innovators? The concept albums? Music with something to profound to say that could transform the way people, and in particular the youth of the world view this deranged world?

How is any of the above relevant to any of the prior discussion on this thread?
Where is what?
