And no reward
So no human motivation
Money is a great indicator of when to build another lane
Or lay another set of tracks
Without this indicator you are blind
Or scarcity and needs
Scarcity usually lesds to human movement rather than new transport
^^^
So unless this all comes with the tyranny of a gov it would collapse quickly with scarcity
So you would let a famine happen to learn where the resources need to go?
Think of the first settlements in the neolithic times. Agriculture is very vasic. However the more the population grows, the more scarcity and pressure there is. So you are forced to innovate to satisfy the growing demands. There is no competition present
Also how can this work if it not global?
The first settlements still moved or sent out long range hunters
Hunter gatherers had less famine than first agricultural societys
From what i have seen
By the time of thr first settlements hunter gatherer society had come to an end
Hell we dont even know how many settlements were simply abandoned due to scarcity
Um no.
This is not truw
We still have hunter gatherers today
We have permanent settlements
Bedowins and tribesmen still mived around. Some would have perm settlements while others moved and traded with the perms
The first settlements didnt end hunt and gather. just expanded the gatherer so to speak
By the time a society reaches the point of a permanent settlement, you stop becoming a hunter gatherer society.
Of course Other societies still need to catch up
That came much later however
But this is besides the point
No that was your point
*when the first*
It wan example
Didnt want to delve too much into it
And again tons of those settlements were abandoned
Innovation mainly came from the currency of trade of knowledge
But that does not answer how it can be done if the global revolution never happens
The coutries that do not have revolution will just win.
Again
or without a huge drop in standard of living
Or from the need of wartime innovation
and near stop in innovation like medicine.
Not in the US
