You still haven't explained what consciousness is.

How do you get more awareness of potential? How does consciousness work?

The industrial revolution wouldn't have been possible without the inventions and discoveries of the past.
Ancient Greek Technology
Here's an example.
Quote:Gears c. 5th century BC Developed further than in prehistoric times for a variety of practical purposes.
Improving and adapting gears is one thing but the real genius is whoever invented gears in the first place. We're now using wind turbines to manufacture electricity but wind turbines are just an adaptation of ancient technology designed to harness wind power. The turbines also use gears.
Showers have an interesting history.
Quote: The ancient Greeks were the first people to have showers. Their aqueducts and sewage systems made of lead pipes allowed water to be pumped both into and out of large communal shower rooms used by elites and common citizens alike.[5] These rooms have been discovered at the site of the city Pergamum and can also be found represented in pottery of the era. The depictions are very similar to modern locker room showers, and even included bars to hang up clothing.[6] The ancient Romans also followed this convention; their famous bathhouses can be found all around the Mediterranean and as far out as modern-day England. The Romans not only had these showers, but also believed in bathing multiple times a week, if not every day. The water and sewage systems developed by the Greeks and Romans broke down and fell out of use after the fall of the Roman Empire.
The first mechanical shower, operated via a hand pump, was patented in England in 1767 by William Feetham,[7]
Does this mean that the ancient Greeks and Romans were more conscious than medieval people and human consciousness didn't start improving again until the middle of the 18th century?

Who told you that acupuncture was the panacea for
incurable diseases?
You keep insisting that acupuncture was more effective in the past. If Ötzi' did have a form of acupuncture treatment, what, exactly, did acupuncture do then that it doesn't do now? After all, the state of his health proves that it didn't cure arteriosclerosis. It didn't cure arthritis, either.
The musculoskeletal abnormalities of the Similaun Iceman ("ÖTZI"): clues to chronic pain and possible treatments.
Quote:Clinical examination and imaging investigations have also shown that the Icemen had experienced possible illnesses in his lifetime and had identifiable areas of arthritis and musculoskeletal injury.
The skin of the Iceman has numerous linear carbon tattoos, which are not of a decorative type. These have been presumed to possibly be "medicinal" tattoos administered for therapeutic reasons and may have been used in acupuncture-like treatment of pain.
The Chinese have been using acupuncture for around 3,000 years. Do you think they would agree with you about it being less effective now than in the past?
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
