The key to techno-scientific progress? "Bubbles"
Briefly

Bubbles can increase risk tolerance, creating a space for futuristic visions necessary to counteract societal stagnation and achieving accelerated scientific and technological progress.
Bubbles are often seen as destabilizing and socially destructive; however, they can serve as catalysts for innovation, pushing society toward the progression we currently lack.
Historical bubbles demonstrate our complex relationship with risk and innovation; while they can lead to significant losses, they simultaneously propel advancements that redefine market landscapes.
While the economic damage from past bubbles is significant, their role as an engine for change should not be overlooked, as they have fueled many technological breakthroughs.
