@epictittus @Nils wtf is wrong with you

the lesson here isn't history is dogshit' the lesson is 'we can reach the stars if we can raise our head above religious bullshit and keep from bashing eachothers heads in with rocks'

Even the past ~116 years, ie over living memory of people alive today, there's been substantial advances, including the advancement of flying machines from "tinker workshop prototype" to the concorde and intelligent swarms of automated drones, advances in rocketry from little better than fireworkers and incendiary weapons to SpaceX Starship, from ignored mostly pipe dream & somewhat flawed architectural plans the building of functioning general purpose turing machines, from still mostly not-understood "playing with radioactive material" to modern nuclear science with its fruits (nuclear power, medical radioisotopes, etc) & tons of other advances that the generations of the 19th century would have considered almost if not magical

there are people alive today who can tell you how *their* parents and grandparents lived going back further, to the mid 1800s and it *they* were making progress in the european (especially german) world.

What you are doing is spitting in the face of centuries of primarily european progress.
