Emphasis on the individual (over the collective) is the most important philosophical development in human history. I will be exploring this in great detail in part 3 (agriculture/industry) and part 4 (global brain). The American space program is suffering because its funding comes from a horribly corrupt and inefficient challenge propagation center (an industrial political system). This will all be explained in great detail in part 3 and 4. :)I do wonder if the emphasis on individual achievement is having an impact on the kinds of technological advancements we are making.
This passage also made me wonder if there is any connection between China's collectivist ideals and their space program and also the state of the American space program.
