    Envy is not the same as tall poppy syndrome. Tall poppy syndrome is when it is easier to ruin your competition vs be better. The murder rate for humanity before civilization was incredibly high, higher than any other mammal. Cave paintings show successful hunters being mocked. Quite simply it was easier to kill your rival vs learn how to hunt better.

    Science progress does not increase exponentially. If it did can you explain why we haven’t been on the moon in fifty years and only built one nuclear reactor in that time period? Or why the clock speed of my desktop is the same as it was for my desktop 22 years ago?

    Small towns are shit.
