yeah the actual periods of innovation that resulted in the largest actual material gains are probably agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, and the green revolution. everything else just resulted in cool toys

Wikipedia posted:

Between 1947 and 1949, approximately 5,800,000 acres (23,000 km2) of land (approximately 38% of Japan's cultivated land) was purchased from the landlords under the reform program and re-sold at extremely low prices (after inflation) to the farmers who worked them. By 1950, three million peasants had acquired land, dismantling a power structure that the landlords had long dominated.

Xi is heroically trying to stop kids from becoming gamers

https://twitter.com/CGTNOfficial/status/1035777385306587136

quote:

The downward spiral of gaming companies' stocks came a day after Chinese education authorities directed the country's publishing administration to regulate the total number of online games available on the market, curb the number of new titles and limit playing times for minors.

The directives are part of a broader plan to tackle myopia in a country where more than 36 percent of its fourth graders and 65 percent of its eighth graders wear glasses to school, according to official data published in July this year.
