I know the Arabs made tons of contributions to mathematics and stuff, but I'm pretty sure they still would have done that if they were secular.

Has anyone said "language" yet? That would probably do the most to prevent the development of any other invention, thus preventing us from destroying the planet.

Language likely wasn't invented at any point, it just evolved. what you want to uninvent is Agriculture

Just prevent industrialization and you'd do a decent job of that. As long as you could hang on to some bits of info about our impact on the environment and leave that behind too. Or:

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Are we talking preventing something from ever existing in the first place and that none of the things that developed from it or because of it would ever have existed? Or , "These were things that existed until 2016, then we discovered a space wizard reading some forum made them all vanish, and we lack the ability to ever reinvent them because of space wizard magic."?

Because in either case: American Idol.
