Did you just say that in order to advance we don't have to do anything?

That is absolutely insane.

Innovation happens because humans engage in a basically never-ending quest to discover more about themselves, and their environment, and to manipulate it. If we stopped when we were satisifed, we'd be picking ants out of an anthill with a stick rather than communicating on a world-wide computer network right now.

I don't like ants that much.

They're even worse than pickles.
