I think you’re missing the point. It’s not that we haven’t made new technology. It’s that we’ve made new technology mostly to do the same things but better.
Everything we do is about achieving the same basic set of ends that we’ve always had. Live well, not die, etc

Because the loan is designed to be unpayable and the only reason the governments of these nations even agree to the loans is because their officials are completely bought. The people of these nations end up suffering. It isn’t their corrupt political system that foots the bill.

Ah yes, I’m sure our ancestors never did anything out of wonder (ya know, like, exploration or anything)
They were nomads. First on land, then on the sea, and now the stars.
