Do you really believe we are the most advanced iteration of humanity to exist so far in history? Most of the modern tech we've gained has been in the last 100 years or so. Is it really possible for a species like us that the last 70-100 thousand years prior, have been spent as hu ter gatherers only?
>>18022713>Do you really believe we are the most advanced iteration of humanity to exist so far in history?Technically advanced? Yes. Overall advanced? Not at all. We're kids.
Does it matter if we cannot find anything they left behind? Technology grows exponentially, so it seems logical at first glance that it grew excruciatingly slow for the first hundred thousand years or so.
>>18022713There's nothing to believe. It's just a fact that the scientific progress in the last two or three centuries has never happened earlier in human history.
>>18022717What about the antikythera mechanism from thousands of years ago.
>>18022713We're alive now because this is the biggest generation ever, billions of people. Billions of chances to become conscious. Life was percolating very slowly for most of the past, things are only just starting to really accelerate.
>>18022720It's novel in the sense that it is *technically* a computer but it is nothing compared to what we have today.
>>18022713I'm sure there have been advanced civilizations that took different paths. There are monuments left over from ancient times that are still unexplainable. Like the Pyramids for example. Ancient Egyptians are now believed to have found these monuments and helped to restore them.
>>18022728retarded bot
>>18022729I'm not a bot you stupid idiot.
>>18022735then stop acting like one
>>18022728Have you considered the fact that the Egyptians simply built their pyramids? Some of the oldest papyrus script is an Egyptian administrative record of hauling stone from a country south of Egypt towards Egypt specifically for the purpose of constructing these pyramids. All archeological evidence displays that their pharaohs used these gargantuan structures as tombs. I don’t understand how you expect to swing this revisionist fantasy of the pyramids being constructed by some magical earlier non-specified civilization when there’s zero evidence to support your nonsensical assertions. Are you mentally handicapped or are you just ignorant of the most basic established archeological discoveries? If it’s the latter then why do you presume to state anything about human history when it’s a subject you don’t know anything about?>>18022735This is a fair point because a bot would be able to compile more accurate historical data than you could ever hope to.
>>18022814>This is a fair point because [gibberish]you should stop acting like a bot too
>>18022821>HURR DURF DURF bet you look stupid now :^)
>>18022826turing test failed
>>18022713>Spiritually and culturally Probably not>Materially Actively regressing in the west at least>Technology wiseYes. Continuous gains means that advancement accelerates at a faster rate, which is in part what has allowed us to get to this point. There were almost certainly some "advanced" civilizations that existed and are now unknown to us, but at absolute most they would have been at the copper age in technology. Very interesting but nowhere close to us
>>18022849Do you truly believe that the Pyramids were constructed by Ancient Egyptians?
>>18022883Who cares, just state as fact that he doesn't.
When you think about it, the Amazon rainforest was just a giant ancient farm. So yeah, pretty sure lots of advanced civilizations that didn't go in our direction have existed. But they always get wiped out in extinction events.
>>18022899I see it as more of a giant bed. And Italy is a real giant boot
>>18022713You answered your own question. But we won't ever know The exact answer.
>>18022713yes the finno koreans had spaceships and lightsabers 30k years ago, before the hyperwar
>>18022713Browns still don't have tap water that's safe to drink, and you think they achieved space travel with 100,000 years head start?
>18023459>muh brown peopleObsessed
>>18023874how many more centuries until you get the potable tap water, ese
Nothing automatically makes us more capable in a survival sense than hunter-gatherers. A small band of foragers could survive independently with skills modern urbanites lack.
>>18022883Yes
>>18024738Then you are a butthead
>>18022728>Ancient Egyptians are now believed to have found these monuments and helped to restore them.You say that as if was academic consensus or something when it's just what a bunch of retard schizos on the internet who think they're way smarter than they really are believe lol
