there

tbh, most of this article goes to show how much we *haven't* really advanced since the 19th century. It's mostly just updates to older technologies

We had photocopiers during the Civil War

Look at this bullshit article linked at the bottom

yang lives in our society

He's an anti-white chink spy

`tbh, most of this article goes to show how much we haven't really advanced since the 19th century. `
since the early 20th century there's been basically no real innovation

by this metric

but nuclear shit, flying, rocketry were pretty cool

it also shows that rich people had a lot of time to be creative sitting on their asses

someone was bound to be right

about something

@Fitzydog yeah I read that the industrial revolution was the only real moment of serious advancement

after 1945, things slowed down again, now it's all just improvements on existing tech

and entire ages are now defined by individual inventions like the computer and atomic bomb

silicon chips

That's about it

yeah

o well, that's the way revolutions go

it's almost like having every major government dump 20% of the country's GDP into expensive research projects leads to cool tech

the industrial revolution is the craziest thing to happen in the history of anything

regarding mankind

@Tero what are you saying

war is good for spurring our advancement as a species

lol not always

without war, there's no incentive for the government to divert monies from gibs

to researching cool shit

sometimes its the cause of depression

economic depression
