Write for me 4000 words on how technological advancement is a linear progression that always follows the same path and needs the same exact external stimuli to occur.
4000 words? Oh please, that can be done in a hundredth of that: The laws of physics are constant, and more advanced technologies have energy requirements that must be met by preceding technologies. At the same time, each technology also has to offer enough tangible benefits to be worth pursuing on its own.
You guys make some giant assumptions…
Feel free to name one or two examples and show how and why they’re incorrect.

Sorry, that is not what I asked for. The fact you won’t do it means you’re wrong.
Feel free to make up the difference by rereading those two sentences a hundred times. Maybe that’ll be enough for the point to get through.
