I can understand where you are coming from now. Those with average goals only do what is expected of them, but those with the position and education to fulfill their goals often work under boundaries such as funding, ethics, and reliability on advancements of different fields. I am willing to bet that everyday there is a new discovery in a different field that can be used to improve an entirely different one. I am not speaking on a consumer level. It is a team effort and every piece of the puzzle equally as important. A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. I would say someone who helps their community and environment is equally as important as a theoretical physicist working with CERN or an astrophysicist working with NASA.
But most of us work to keep everyone steady on this level of evolution while the 10% work to a new one. In a way we aren't contribting to the future, we're contributing to the present that gets made for us.
Better to maintain and slowly progress than to regress, I suppose. Most of us aren't directly contributing, but the services we provide contribute to the service above us and so forth.
Is it normal to think living is pointless

WOuldn't it be better if we all contributed to evolving? I get what you are saying though.
