I mean, not if they kick out all the pedophiles, eugenicists and oligarchs and elect some people who actually serve their country and not Russia, Israel, Saudi-Arabia, Qatar and their own wallets.

That gets rolled into the plot in a weirdly vidya way, actual spoilers below:
That girl teela who randomly jumps on his cock in the first chapter turns out to be the result of a eugenic breeding program by the puppeteers. They've identified luck as a unique asset of the human race and subtly influenced our politics over the centuries so that breeding is done by lottery and only the lucky 'winners' get to reproduce. The goal is specifically to produce a girlfriend for the protagonist of this exact quest, going to the ringworld. they manage to get there mostly thanks to her genetically boosted good fortune exactly as the puppeteers intended.
but she's so lucky that when they get to the planet she meets a much better guy than louis wu and decides to just stay there with him :) bye louis

It depends on how it's done. If it's just "WOW THE POWER OF DETERMINATION AND FRIENDSHIP" that humanity inexplicably has over precursor species, yeah it's retarded. A dude with a space MP5 shouldn't be inexplicably better than the precursors with erasure cannons. But if humanity is basically getting a decayed evil to fight, an opportunity left to them that the precusors planned ahead for, some special circumstance that can actually justify it, it can be pretty good when done right.

>Glass
Natural geological glass forms when silica-rich molten rock (magma) or silica sand cools extremely rapidly, preventing crystal growth and creating an amorphous, non-crystalline solid. Primarily produced through volcanic activity (obsidian), it also forms via lightning strikes (fulgurites), meteorite impacts (tektites), or coal fire combustion.

Issue with roman concrete wasn't that it was some secret recipe. It was material they used to make it. It's Lime mortar with Pozzolana. Main source of Pozzolana is volcanic ash. European used Lime mortar. But they didn't have volcanic ash. This is why it took to invention Portland cement for concrete to become big. You no longer needed exotic material. You could make it in oven.
>>
>>733634518
Buildings are utilitarian and unadorned due to a shift in architectural schools in the wake of the second world war where rapid and efficient reconstruction was more important than style. Primarily for Europe obviously, but it spread everywhere else pretty quickly. Modern man lives less in the shadow of an advanced civilisation that disappeared and more in a state of post-apocalypse, because the first half of the 20th century was an absolute shitshow and we'll be suffering the aftershocks for another hundred years.

Also glass and steel structures as designed today are better at letting sunlight into a building, which is beneficial to human physiology. They didn't know that yet when they were building shit out of stone with tiny windows, but then, people back in those days actually went outside a lot more so it worked out anyway.

>>733630227
He's retarded, advanced civilisation would be obvious in the geological record. He says the shit he says because he's not familiar with fields that would prove his theories wrong, and waves off attempts to prove him wrong as conspiracy like a schizophrenic rather than any real academic. The truth is that real life is pretty boring in comparison to anything we can imagine, would an ancient civ more advanced than ours be awesome? Fuck yeah it would, but we wouldn't have overlooked something like that when we can pretty much piece together the planet's history going back hundreds of millions of years just by looking at layers of rock and the shit caught in it.
>what if they covered it up
Like I said, schizophrenia. There's literally no reason or incentive to cover that shit up, like there would be no reason to make people believe the Earth is round when it's actually flat.
