- swebs 7y agoWell yeah. This isn't a game like Civilization where countries lagging behind have to develop the steam engine while everyone else is on space age tech. You can put solar panels in Africa today.

Something along the lines what Isaac Asimov said: "The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."
