	One of the things people have a tendency to forget is that the idea of progress and the development of technology don't immediately equate to civil rights, empathy, peace, tolerance and the likes, take any given time in history and you will see regimes using and abusing their scientific, industrial, methodological and technological edge to conquer, enslave, oppress and ruin entire parts of the world, you only have to remember the nazis upper hand in military field technology or the soviets being the first to put a satellite and a man in space, virtually all euroamerican powers used developments in naval technology, steam engines, weaponry and geographic knowledge to grab large pieces of land, kill and/or enslave the natives and churn out resources to the metropolis, often with masses of people getting impoverished due unfair competition, changes in industry and abusive monopolies.
