I feel a lot of technology will only make those in power more efficient at killing.
To make true change you need to piss off religions and adopt democracy. Everything else will fall into place including advancement in all sciences.

But you're leaping over all those discordant notes that Mozart used.

Way newer that Mozart.  That's the thing.  Mozart's discordant harmonies were revolutionary and we find them tame compared to rock or even Beethoven.  I'm not sure there ears would be ready.  Heck, they still hadn't gotten themselves a full chromatic scale yet.

I'm with Jenny on this one.

Medicine, hygiene and basic knowledge of pharmacology.
