  This era honestly sucks so much, the only way the next era can show a lot of progress is if it shows a lot of reversion.

    I think youre reading way too much into having sails or not lol

    I would not want to go back to that era of illiteracy, poverty and disease.

    Adapting old ideas into the modern world where it makes sense is good though

      I’m not. My point is you don’t realize how many areas you should be applying this kind of thinking in.

      I would not want to go back to that era of illiteracy, poverty and disease.

      But you’d want to stay in this one? Or what’s your point supposed to be?

      Adapting old ideas into the modern world where it makes sense is good though

      I’m saying, when you think about how fucked up it is that we went so far with removing sails from cargo ships, you can see more of how deep we are in misuse of technology. It’s a microcosm of a big picture.
