I had a friend who often wondered why progress was so slow. His go-to example was of a water droplet on a leaf, how it clearly magnified what was under it & yet this quality seemingly unexploited for millennia

A huge question, surely. Clearly it has something to do with iteration and the need for intermediary steps. But only something.

Didn't JBP claim that the median person has never done a single creative endeavor in his or her life? Like write a story, compose a song, paint a painting?

His "median person" has been so thoroughly brutalized by school, it is hard to say how it would look otherwise. But it's certainly a real phenomenon, yes. Depending on how you define creativity.

My dad was a librarian & probably close to a communist, my Mom read Ayn Rand. After their divorce?. I was a tot so memories are dim. It's all my fault, anyway. After I came to USA there was the Cuban Missile Crisis then JFK got shot, downhill ever since. I'll die as world ends.
