I hate that we're expected to just accept the mainstream narrative and aren't allowed to question anything about our history. Are we supposed to believe that humans have always been stupid?
Modern humans have supposedly existed for 300,000 years, yet somehow I'm expected to believe they made zero progress and invented nothing.. Except for the last thousand years or so?

It’s not stupidity. It’s the whole infrastructure needed to bootstrap inventions and improve precision. Hard to invent an engine when you can’t manufacture the raw components. Always hard to move up a grade in precision. How do you make +/- 0.001” components when you’re building with +/- 0.01”?
Go read a book
Interchangeable machine parts really started to become the standard in the 1800s. It was the start of precision fabrication, which led to the massive technology developments.
What scholars have you read about the development of technology that you specifically disagree with? Surely you don’t just disagree with something because you read about it on the internet, or you have some superficial knowledge of it, (and it clearly brought a question to mind) so I am assuming that you took a little bit off time to look into how technologies developed. I am fascinated by the development of technologies from the earliest stone technologies through the bronze and iron ages. The things they could do in medieval times were marvelously fascinating. And then you start looking at what china was doing and how technologies came together, merging. Anyway, I am always on the hunt for new literature, and you seem so sure and confident in your post that I’d love a list of your favorite books or scholars on the topic.
Thanks in advance.
1. It took us 1500 to manage a peaceful enough world to assure the raw materials were always available everywhere
2. Knowledge is much available to everybody, where once we had agencies that saw their secrets, like greek fire, being lost for a lack of use and funding, now we have patents to make sure that doesn’t happen
And more… probably
Industrial Revolution USA USA number one number one gooble gabble gooble gabble one of us one of us.
The Spinning Jenny.
You’re dumb and don’t understand compounding.
Civilizations are cyclic.
Like the seasons. Like the clock on the wall. What goes around, comes around.
Ignorance isn’t the same as a conspiracy.
What is interesting is, humans had steam engine tech in 1st Century Rome. All you need is to heat water and use the steam to move a turbine.
What was needed was Scottish inventor James Watt. He was the one to really make the steam engine worth something to everyone. There is a reason Watts is named after him.
They really roasting you up huh!
I think he’s asking, how did we go from horses and carriages to flying vehicles. Its the idea not the literal building of it. Is what I think he means. How did we suddenly have the urge to build such contarptions? I know “its because the possibilities became, well, possible though the industrial revolution.”
But what gave scientists the idea for rocket/jet propulsions? Wink wink
I guarantee that is false. Look at the architecture from the World Expos – that was beautiful Tartarian cultural buildings.
Look at some of the temples in India from thousands of years ago that look machine built.
Compare that the ugly-as-fuck suburbs or buildings from today, the way we are a spiritual-less money-seeking lemming society of today. Societies go in CYCLES, like the cycles of the seasons, like financial cycles, like planetary cycles.
MANIPULATING our beliefs is CORE to controlling us. One is playing our fragile little egos to thinking we’re somehow the best of the best, the most advanced, the most knowledgable.
Yet just sitting and looking at the big picture its very clear this isn’t true.
Fallen Angels
You can just research this stuff for yourself. Basically there were a few key inventions that came around a few hundred years ago, like the printing press and the joint stock corporation, that caused the explosion in technology
Aliens / inter dimensional beings pushing us into the new age of Aquarius.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to use a military vehicle in your “1800s” example? Like the Simms motor scout or something. Heck, the SMS Vulcano is mid 1800s and served as a nascent military aircraft carrier, though the aircraft were basically just floating bombs and it didn’t work all that well.
The US started with horse and carriages then went to the moon lmao it’s crazy such a young country
It’s not stupidity. There were inventions like the printing press that made it easier for people to share knowledge and make advancements. The more people you share knowledge with, the less time it takes for innovations to be reaped from it. China is a good example of it. Their laxed IP laws have allowed them to catch up to the US quickly.
There was also a collapse of a great civilization during that time and we essentially had to restart
Its theorized that happened many times in the 240,000 years modern humans have been around instead of assuming we magically only moved past sticks and rocks 10,000 years ago
