On: Living on Mars: The Stuff You Never Thought About

[thaumaturgy]

There's a Wikipedia rabbit hole on the subject at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_European_colonialism_a....

I don't have any other citations or references at hand, sorry.

But, you're attempting to rebut me using a rather deeply-nested stack of science and technology developed in some former colonies.

You might also give my earlier comment a more careful reading. I didn't imply that progress is limited to colonization, only that it contributes to it.

I think trying to give credit to colonization for Hacker News, web browsers, and whatnot, is a ridiculous thing.
