Writing was only really invented by civilizations who traded with others plenty (IE Mesopotamia). African kangdoms (besides Egypt) did not really need to trade with other people who were not different enough to have a language barrier.

No need.
Same reason the mean sub-saharan IQ is ~70.

Egypt and Mesopotamia are in your OP pic, and they were the first human societies to invent writing.
Also, this goes without saying, but if this thread and everyone in it, including me, was banned, the board quality would go up.
Well, /his/?

>banks lend debt
>debt must be repayed + interest
>economy must grow in order for the principal and interest to be payed off
>economy is not growing due to stagnating demographics, already high debt levels, and certain GDP growing events which cannot be repeated(industrial revolution)
>adding more debt is no longer able to create economic growth
Is the economy a ponzi scheme? What is the solution?

Productivity growth due to increasing technology bro.

>>2958057
Most serious technology has already been discovered, now smartphone apps are considered "cutting edge" when 70 years ago they were discovering/developing nuclear power, jet engines, and computing
>>
>>2958053
That is exactly the reason why interest was outlawed in many cultures for a long time
The solution is to let the banks crash, bring criminals in banks, cooperations, government and military before a court and into prison and exchange the current economic and financial system with one based on natural resources.

Why does popular culture perceive ancient humans (apart from very few notable exceptions) as stupid, bumbling fools?
It seems as though people can't comprehend humans in 4000 B.C. or 1500 B.C. or 30 A.D. essentially had the same intelligence as ours.

Every generation thinks itself more sophisticated than the one before, and wiser than the one that follows.
>>
>>2957934
Because we want to feel special. That's why we get surprised when it's mentioned time and time again that non-English internet is a thing, that Asians that aren't East Asian and Africans have access to modern communication devices, that memes existed before the internet.

Why do you think those are muturally exclusive beliefs?
/his/, who do you think the most famous person is today, excluding religious figures?
To clarify: who do you think that most people alive today are aware of existing? My guess is this man, how far off am I?

Do you think humanity could ever enter a period of indefinite stagnation? That is, a time period where the politics and culture of our society would prevent us from achieving sufficient technological advancement required for leaving earth and avoiding some extinction event. What could cause us to enter such a period?
