There are two possiblties if we ignore our subjective perspective on sociatal norms:

Either all sociatal development has a peak and to get there specific insights need to be gained by the population.

Or there is no peak, and the only possible “ranking“ of more and less developed societies is by who survives and thrives longer.

It aint reddit. Its the internet. Happens on Lemmy also.

We are just the lore to some kind of cyberpunk dystopia or post nuclear war survival game.
