- layer8 4y agoAs a counterpoint, if they hadn’t done it, someone else would very likely have done it. Individual artworks would be a more unique legacy.
- varjag 4y agoQuite clearly if population bottleneck wasn't dealt with noone else would be left to do it.
- EUV071STR48 4y agoSure, someone else would have overcome it. Could have been just around the corner. You don't know.
- datavirtue 4y agoExactly. Inventions, knowledge, and other things are all inevitable--rediscovered and recreated from scratch each time. Art is our only unique contribution/feedback to the universe.
- varjag 4y agoIf you subscribe to determinism, all art pieces are also inevitable.
- krallja 4y ago> overcame population bottlenecks Their names were Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch.
- varjag 4y agoWas more thinking about the Toba eruption bottleneck 75k years back, but sure :)
