What the fuck are you talking about? Haha
Individuality and abstract thinking created every single piece of technology we have. Abstract thinking's brought fire out of the wildness into a home for heat. Individuality brought electricity.
Capitalism? Capitalism brought mass genocide, religion, famine, and slave labor. All capitalism has done is exploit advancement for money. Do you realize how much further along we'd be if the $2 trillion dollars every year we spend on bombing each other was put towards fusion energy or ai?

Calm down I was just giving an analogy like you were.
I was saying if you look at the global scare, we are getting stronger, we are learning and adapting at a pace never seen before and we are passing on the genes, genes which would have died out before now can survive and contribute to humanity.
I disagree with your assertion that individuality brought technology. It was the communication and humans' way of co-ordinating together to adapt and pass on the information. We survived literally because of our community and social relationships not because of individuality.
I never denied capitalism did not do that, and I am not sure why you mentioned it since majority of comment barely mentioned capitalism.
