Injustice is not the only way to get new technology even if you believe that there is a connection between the two notions.
Also, by your logic it wouldn't be enough for people to work around the clock just to survive in hunter-gathering times
- vkou 6y agoIn hunter-gatherer times, we didn't wear as many woven textiles, and we didn't rely on agriculture (Which results in a much higher caloric output of an acre of land, but requires vastly more labour to produce the same number of calories.) The problem with being a hunter-gatherer is that your agricultural neighbours move in, settle down, work their asses off, have lots of children, and then war with you until they push you off your land. And nine times out of ten, they win this war, because their way of life supports a lot more people per acre of land. This is why the world is full of agricultural societies, and the few remaining hunter-gatherers have been pushed into unproductive, fringe territories.
