Most of those “innovations” are just for war, like robots and drones. They arent made to make the poors life better.
Comment on Capitalism only asissts innovation for the first few years of existence. After that its a grift.

Even worse than that, our modern, high-tech capitalist civilisation, no matter its many ‘triumphs,’ has roundly failed to address what was obvious to anyone seeing the long view– that without addressing the mechanisms of its own unsustainability, it will still fail, as all earlier civilisations did.
So we’re headed for a collapse, faster with every passing day, while overpopulation, overconsumption, and capitalism have arguably been the primary drivers of that. And the richest people and corporations in the world, being uniquely placed to make a huge difference on that front, instead only think of the next quarter’s profits, or their personal wealth and safety.
