>Most of human innovations were made by small groups or even a single person, without much capital. Think of the wheel, agriculture, electricity, the light bulb, the first planes, Windows OS. The list goes on and on.

You have a childlike naivety about business and live in a fantasy world.

These articles are talking about in our modern society. Our technology is to the point where it takes a lot of effort to make modest improvements (in most areas). for most of time the innovations found didn't cost much, like how to make a bow, or how to smith metal. If you think all inventions were made by wealthy people, you are delusional. It wasn't the king that learned how to make chainmail armor, and it wasn't the noble that learned how to raise bigger crops.

P.S. Your insults don't help your point at all.

inventions throughout history were almost entirely made by rich people. because iterating and failing takes money. the fact that you cannot comprehend this at the outset means you are naive or a child. This is just a fact. It is self-evident. Your using high fantasy examples furthers the point that you live in...a fantasy land.

talking to you is like a brick wall. I'm done. Keep idolizing rich people with your false narratives.

Yeah I'm sure the first person to learn how to raise crops was drowning in wealth. I'm sure the first person to make a bow was somehow wealthy, lmao. I'm sure the wealthy king walked into the blacksmiths place one day and just figured out how to build chainmail. The person who invented the wheel had so much wealth he didn't even need to get up if he didn't want to. all sarcasm. This belief you have is illogical.

In reality, most advancements were made by regular people, very poor people by modern standards, just trying to improve their lives, or discovering by accident, or other ways.

I supplied multiple links to actual sources, all you can do is talk about blacksmiths and bows. This isn't D&D. Get out of the fucking basement. Come with citations.

>talking to you is like a brick wall. I'm done.

And yet, you're back with:

>you can't make a half decent argument so you result to insults and running away lmao.

hm. Where are your sources again?

you are such a sad person. you're life is so sad you have to insult strangers on the internet to make yourself feel better. And you're so low IQ you can't even form a coherent argument. shut up and go back to work at your 9-5 restaurant job. reddit loser

Also: anyone can link a few irrelevant articles. you linked ones that have no relation to the topic at hand but you are too brain dead to be able to actually comprehend it.

Take your sausage fingers off the keyboard and go learn common sense.

And lose some weight while you're at it.
