Why is it ok for scientific theories to so badly contradict history?
Can we really afford to think that people of the past were just stupid and had nothing to teach us?

Smart =/= no knowledge

>Be high IQ
>Live life never being presented with a book or writing
>Your entire education is from retired war general elders who teach you oral myths
>Use that high IQ to maybe design a nice house in the forest
>Die never understanding geometry, gravity or electricity

This is why immortality would be based. Humans with multiple lifetimes of exposure would be able to notice things about the world they would never be capable of in just 80 years

What do you mean? Are you talking about how theories get refined? Like how we went from Expanding Earth to Continental Drift to Plate Tectonics?
That's just us getting more information over time and being able to build a better and better picture of things.
Like how modern theory of evolution has moved on so god damn fare from Darwin, because the dude didn't even know what a gene is
