It's pretty futile, but I really enjoy trying to figure out how much of human technology I could have predicted given basic starting knowledge of "organisms with this body will build advanced technology". Like, could I have predicted something like cars? Or clothes? Or stigmas?

Um. No. Per Popper, predicting a technology is equivalent to inventing the technology.

I don't mean specifically, I mean generally. Would I have predicted that humans would have ended up using a fast transportation unit thing? Are there any analogues of "system transports things faster" in other fields?
