"Also consider a human's environment. That environment is not well suited for being able to build lots of things. How do you get to the <untranslatable> age on earth?"

Earlier, you mentioned that beaks can't make spaceships. Well, maybe neither can hands. What we call a spaceship might be laughable nonviable. In fact, we know it is.

We're struggling at limits that some other lifeform might not have. We're hill climbing for tools that will let us do things we really want to do. Quite likely a lot of our progress is orthogonal or even oppositional to what we need to do to get off the planet.

We have no idea if some of our progress might be backsliding or entirely halting our future progress. Due to our natures. Due to our beaks.
