I’m just mad as hell at how many things seem to have topped out in the 1940’s.
My car is basically the same. Five wheels and I chase an explosion around.
Air travel is basically the same. Big aluminum tube that’s expensive size as hell.
TV is basically the same. Tune in, sit on ass, watch.
You look at how life changed between 1900-1945, and how life changed since then, and we’ve really stagnated.
That’s not to say it’s all the same, phones are amazing, but they don’t change my life fundamentally, a day without my phone is very much the same as a day with my phone.
Since around the 1940s and the 1950s scientists and Engineers have definitely kept progressing. Do you think all that human experimentation by the Nazis Etc came to nothing? No. Much was learned & implemented.
Scientists & engineers are keeping a ton of technology proprietary while they’ve also figured out how to hypnotize the plebian masses into being consumers, entertainment-seekers, and obedient ignorant workers.
