We are living in the dark ages. For the foreseeable future, scientific progress will slow to a crawl. We had our chance and blew it.
All for what? GDP? Equity?
We deserve the dystopia we live in. Fuck this gay world.

every human bean needs to start using their brains but the majority would rather suffer from food shortage, poverty, and the second majority would rather play vidya

this book is excellent, we are replicating a similar technological cycle

>The middle Ages was one of the great inventive eras of mankind. It should be known as the first industrial revolution in Europe. The scientists and engineers of that time were searching for alternative sources of energy to hydraulic power, wind power, and tidal energy. Between the tenth and the thirteenth centuries, western Europe experienced a technological boom. Both that boom and the subsequent decline can now be seen to offer striking parallels to Western industrial society since 1750, and to the present situation in the United States in particular. Some of the features that accompanied this first industrial revolution seem strangely familiar.

Anyone who seeks to draw deep parallels between any time after the late 1700s and anytime before is a sophist.

Organizational technology alone is so staggeringly different that we hardly look like the same species.

Not him, but this take is big dumb. You’re forgetting that humans have not, if imperceptibly, evolved much from the caves.

Scientific progress is huge, and there's more and more GMO in stuff you eat.

Capitalsitic measures of maximalizing capital output of research is what makes it suck.

You can't make progress if corporation doesn't believe they push money out of it, therefore we still use acient technologies.

That's it.

Dangers are also overlooked in the virtue of profit.

Consider myself tripling down on it. Our ancestors of the Middle Ages had more in common with tribesmen then we have with them.

And I’ll quadruple down on that one.

Surely it’s obvious.
Doesn’t every schoolboy know it?
Ends are ape-chosen; only the means are man’s.
Papio’s procurer, bursar to baboons,
Reason comes running, eager to ratify;
Comes a catch-fart, with philosophy, truckling to Tyrants;
Comes, a pimp for Prussia, With Hegel's Patent History;
Comes with Medicine to administer the Ape-King’s aphrodisiac;
Comes, Rhyming and with Rhetoric, to write his orations;
Comes with Calculus to aim his rockets
Accurately at the orphanage across the ocean;
Comes, having aimed, with incense to impetrate
Our Lady devoutly for a direct hit.
