It's not a paradox but it's based on our own techonlogical progression which is weird.

We are as a species 200-250,000 years old. For most of that time we did absolutely fucking nothing as it seems. Even for the recorded history which if we take the past 10,000 years then we still didn't made much progress as we did in the past 100. And the weird part is that we still have small pockets of population living like our ancestors 200K years ago.

In 100 years we went from horses to cars, to rockets and spaceships to the internet and computers small enough to fit in our pockets.

The 20th century was weird as fuck as far as scientific progression goes.
