Eagerly awaiting the post-civilizational battle between "futurists" and "primitivists". The irony of the conflict will, naturally, be that primitivists are sadly forced to adopt futurist fighting technology to win, or be destroyed.
Wouldn't they still be seriously disadvantaged? They wouldn't be nearly as effective as creating new weapons and tools to continue the fight as their whole existence is geared towards not doing just that. At any rate, historically it seems progress always wins, so I'll be prepared with popcorn and a low-orbit viewing station.
Actually, if anything, history reveals that such "progress" is far less consistent then one would like to believe.
It was once thought that eugenics was progress and that didn't win. Some predictions actually don't end up happening.
