I wonder a lot about, if people lived long enough, whether everyone would eventually succumb to being stuck in their ways and being too locked into arguments they've made thousands of times, or whether it's possible to avoid that and continue to adapt even in the long run.

I tried the wheel when it first came out.
Immediately got a bent wheel. Garbage
Not trying that again

supposedly several pre-Columbian civs had the wheel for toys and the like though still used sleds for logistics
