Technology is the only meaningful way of increasing prosperity in the world and fixing its problems.
This Tuberculosis White Plague killed a billion people - more than any war! No other political event (World Wars) had a greater statistical mortality rate effect.
Through technology - the discovery of antibiotics and sterilization - we completely solved it.
The impact of technology completely dwarfs every political thing that took place during that time period.
All the activities/ideologies we fought over turned out to not be as relevant as defeating Tuberculosis!
But there’s asymmetry in the history books - for every 1 page about an important event like curing Tuberculosis, theres 100+ pages for the World Wars - despite them being insignificant in relation.
Politics are overrated; Technology is underrated;
Bitcoin is counter-intuitively both - it is a political revolution re-ignited and ultimately enabled through a technological breakthrough.
