Not really. It's a sudden shift in not only the price of access to space, but also the structure of the industry itself. Before, people held the notion that the only way to get space flight done was through large well funded government programs. Those programs, while capable of pushing the bounds of whats possible, are very vulnerable to political shifts, and that's exactly the main reason why NASA floundered so much after Apollo. SpaceX coming along and developing on a technology NASA has failed to do faster, better, and cheaper than what NASA could do shows that the notion I previously mentioned is false. Because of this, the space flight industry can shift from the highly expensive specialist mentality which chases after high-tech advanced solutions, to the more mundane ubiquitous and cheaper worker mindset focused on getting more done for less.

No, we havent. CRISPR is the only one. Every single other "advancement" was just a by-product of increasing number of transistors on a square inch chip. That is NOT an actual innovation. All of the inventions you just named are just more powerful computers, which were invented back in the 30s. And we're hitting the unsurpassable fundamental physical limit in terms of transistors on a chip.

Almost every single so called "advancement in technology" that has happened for the past 50 years was just Moore's law. Then some people took that increase and falsely claimed "ALL technology is increasing exponentially" when that was never true. There has been effectively no advancement in any technology, other than some small increases in what more powerful computers were able to bring to those technologies (like mapping DNA sequences sped up with more powerful computers, but the actual technology of mapping DNA sequences hasn't changed whatsoever since its inception)

smartphones were a triumph of design and some engineering refinements of existing technology. Watch the first iPhone reveal for some insight as to the state of the smartphone industry at the time of the iPhone's introduction Everything the iPhone could do would already be done by a combination of other devices, or even entirely by an existing device but that device was just poorly designed so it was hard to access those features. Smartphones are designed to be easy to use and powerful, but fundamentally they are just a marriage of a cellphone and some PC features that already existed. Sure, they're tiny, but we've kind of known we would get tiny, powerful computers since the 1960's when moore's law was observed. Smartphones were hardly a technological revolution or a breakthrough, they were the ultimate, ideally-designed form of existing technology designed for the use case of the every day consumer.

Plus, its arguable that smartphones haven't increased our material or mental well-being. They've led to a dozen or so society-destroying applications entering widespread use, and very little actual time-saving utility/productivity being gained.

Yes

Technological progress does not happen in a vacuum. It is the result of economic growth, specifically of increasing energy use per capita. Every technology that impacts the average person's life ultimately comes from a supply chain that produces things out of and energy inputs and raw materials (which require energy to extract), so as each person in a society uses more energy and resources, the amount and complexity of material goods that they can support in the economy also increases. If the amount of resources/energy available to each person is constrained, it limits the number of new products that can be scaled up to mass-production, and newer technologies (that are usually more complex and energy-intensive than their older counterparts) become impractical or unaffordable to the average person. Periods of stagnation in the growth of per-capita energy consumption (like we've had in the West since ~1970) are correlated with periods of relative stagnation in living standards and technological development. Things will probably get better if/when we start to scale up solar power and battery storage to the point where they account for 100%+ of our current global energy consumption.

Whenever I bring this up on reddit retards come out of the wood work to tell me I'm wrong, all the updates full of shit nobody wants are really there to speed up the software, and reiterating that it's more profitable for a company to add another layer of abstraction and use up all my FLOPS than to pay a programmer to spend more time getting his shitty code out of exp space.

The user experience hasn't changed in over 15 years. When Youtube was first created the page loaded exactly as fast as it does right now on this machine which is two orders of magnitude more capable in every capacity you care to name.

I had to give up on a laptop I owned even though there was nothing wrong with it because it couldn't stream 720p video on youtube without stuttering. Twitch was unusable too.

I kind of have a theory about this where similar to "hard times create strong men" and the "middle child who doesn't do much and is largely ignored" life theories, we're in a middle-child era of humanity rn- no great war, no depression, no frontier to really explore, nothing to inspire and light a fire. It's just kind of a blah era and we're getting lazy for it, content on optimizing instead of making huge discoveries.
This is more than likely a cyclical thing.

Information, opinion and thinking are attacked to maintain the ideology and offer support to their fellow information solders.
They are warfighters, being paid or not in support of their propaganda and ideology.
War and the tactics of war will be used against the innocent and ignorant, always.

You are confused.
You misunderstand your enemy.
War is often difficult to understand as your position in war.
War is not so much about tribe as it is about religion. Each tribe can only have its own religion, its own understanding of that religion.
This understanding is built into each tribe differently.
So a blending of religions was needed to overcome this. That was done.
But the religions became bloated and misunderstood, so priests were needed for each tribe to correct think the grand bloated religions into something the local tribes could accept.
This was the first of the Great Wars and Crusades.
Politics even today remain local as long as the communities remain strong.
But what should happen if those communities are fragmented by interweaving different tribes with different understandings of religion.
War can be a difficult thing to understand and accept.

Its not about being cryptic, or not answering the question. Its just a fact that questions lead to other questions.
This is the GAME. The complete domination and control of everything.
Total Global Domination, its more then that however its about religion, philosophy and purpose.
There are many philosophies at war with all other philosophies. As there can be only one dominating philosophy, one religion based on that philosophy and one law based on that religion.

Confusion is understandable.
You don't educate your enemy on warfare.
All young men have been denied philosophy as it would give them tools to wage war on their enemy.
So philosophy has be ridiculed, confused and attacked and discredited.
Little talking points are not the point of philosophy, nor are quotes.
Philosophy as the religion that evolves from it are a single thought.
A full complete thought. That answers all questions on religion, life and God who is always given credit for that full and complete thought.
It is your birthright and you have been denied this, so you seek it out in places like this.
Never knowing, always seeking.
That is the itch in your mind and questions you seek. The answers exist as do the solders who fight against it, as philosophy is more then an idea.
Philosophy is knowing without doubt. As the thought is complete and without error.
This thought begins with Purpose. Once you know this you will know everything that connect to it and how everything interacts with this Purpose.
A man cannot live on bread alone.
So what does a man need.
How is this need.
Where is this needed.
Who is this man.
All questions, have answers most lead to other questions.
When you have answered all questions correctly and fully. That will be one philosophy and the foundations of religion and law will have been built.

No philosophy has won so the outcome goals and purpose are not yet known.
You are jumping around in thought and speculation using what you think is true as fact in that speculation.
You are confused about everything.
Attacking based on speculation not observation and fact.
Emotion has been doing the thinking for you not logic or experience.
You attach a position to me like a postit note.
"IF YOUR" well what if not
IF is a poor thought, think what is and what was. What is known, what is unknown.
How do you know what is known to be and what is not known what is.
" I am the wisest man in greece for I know I know nothing"
So what do you know to be true that is without error? How do you know this?
You will find you don't know as much as you think you do.
